We just stayed here this past weekend and everything was incredible! The food was great..the rooms were clean and surprisingly not as small as I expected (given the incredible location). The staff is really what made our trip. Just the most friendly, gracious, and accommodating staff I've encountered in quite some time. We cannot wait to go back and will... More

This is not a luxury hotel by any stretch of the imagination but what is has is location. A stone's throw to shopping, restaurants and museums and a 5 minute walk from the magnificent mile. You could not ask for more. Granted that the hotel has a dated feel to it, some lighting fixtures in the lobby feel decadent and... More

The room was beautiful inside. The only thing we missed having that we are accustomed to when traveling were a microwave and free internet access. Otherwise, a very pleasant stay. The staff was exceptionally friendly.

Yet another place where I wish I could stay longer - but this hotel is great, lovely staff - was advised to take the Architecture tour on the river and it was well worth it. The room was very good and would highly recommend this hotel.

I also got a special rate for my one night stay in March, so that probably informs my very positive review. I arrived to the hotel in the early morning after an overnight train trip. I was sure the staff would not let me check in so early, but they were kind enough to do so. I spent most of... More

The Knickerbocker was in the middle of a refurbishment when I stayed there for a weekend visit to Chicago. The location was great for shopping on Michigan Avenue. The room was rather small for a luxury hotel although it looked like it has been refurbished and was nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable. The HVAC, however, was rather loud... More

I could give this hotel a 5 star for its location and price and a 4 star for its room size. East Walton Place is a little off of Michigan Avenue and a short distance from Oak Street beach, The Water Tower and many, shops and restaurants, all within a short walk. I don't remember the service being all that... More

We were very happy with our stay at the Knickerbocker. I see others were disappointed that the facade was under construction, but I'm not sure why this even matters. They are doing what they have to to maintain the historic building, and for that I commend them. I see others commenting about the rooms not being large, and the elevators... More
