Michelin Guide
"The Beaux-Arts exterior makes a stunning first impression, but the sizzle resides solely indoors."
Concierge
"The hotel makes a good base for walking tours of the Loop's architectural landmarks, and is across the street from Grant Park, site of many lakefront festivals."
Fodor's
"The lobby of this classic hotel has gold-trimmed walls, a gold sofa, and modern flower arrangements that make it an unusual mix of old and new."

You'll want to avoid the lower-level floors if you like things quiet.

Ask for a high-floor room to avoid noise from the El train along Wabash Avenue.
Lonely Planet
"Although the exterior was designed by Daniel Burnham’s firm, the hotel’s interior recalls Frank Lloyd Wright: the chunky wood furniture has a distinct Prairie School charm."

Time Out
"The late 19th-century Arts and Crafts style is evident outside and in, with wrought-iron pieces adding accents to the comfortable (if slightly dated) decorations in each room."

"This beauty sits right on Jeweler's Row, two blocks from the Art Institute of Chicago and one block from shopping on State Street."
