Top South Chicago Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"To quality service from every staff member. Great views. Upgrade to the gold rooms for a wonderful view and access to the lounge. Lounge breakfast and dinner and dessert is WORTH THE $."

Sports Illustrated Resorts Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"I have nothing but great things to say about this stay. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. The staff made it a point to try to get me to my room as quickly as possible as they saw I was there for a marathon. The gym was great and they had a recovery lounge and pasta buffet during the weekend. Very intentional. I was traveling alone so the room / size was perfect for me."

Warwick Allerton - Chicago

8/10 Good

"Our stay was wonderful overall! The only negative things I would mention are that our room was pretty small and the mattresses were quite uncomfortable. We also booked online but were surprised to find out that a $180 deposit was required at check-in. Parking was another challenge, as there weren’t many convenient options, so we had to use valet parking, which cost $77 per day. Other than those few things, we really enjoyed our stay!"
