Hilton Chicago: Friendly welcome to Chicago    Check Rates

  • Satisfaction:
  • I stayed at this hotel on my very first trip to the States and I was pleasantly surprised. The lobby is very opulent, and the check in staff are very friendly, as well as all the other staff in the hotel, they always greeted you with a smiley face and were eager to help.

    The rooms were very big, and well heated as it was in wintertime when I visited, and heating is well needed!

    Very clean rooms, and the friendliest staff I have ever been aquanted with at a hotel!

    The hotel is on the Michigan ave. along with department stores, shops, restaurants, and museum. The room is clean and comfortable (typical Hilton room) with Internet access.

    The place can get very busy with people attending the events, and the room charge can be very expensive during that time. Always check several reservation websites as well as Hilton website to compare the pricing before you book.

    They hold many conferences and events, and the facilitiy is conveniently set up with business center where you can use copy, fax, internet, package pick up and drop off, etc.

    The Irish Pub on the ground floor is always clouded. Check out the nightly live music. (See my night life tips.)

    Check-in: 3:00PM
    Check-out: 11:00AM

    Hilton Chicago: Historical Behemoth that's still looking good    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Hilton Chicago is probably the largest - and one of the most impressive - of the area's "historic hotels." When it was originally opened in the early 1930s, it was said to be the largest hotel in the world - with many incredible features - including rooftop golfing! (You have to see the photos to believe it!)

    When I first stayed at the Hilton Chicago, it was the mid-1980s, and the hotel - like most of the city at that time - was a little down on its luck. In particular, this area of the South Loope looked sad and forlorn, especially. Well, things have changed since then. With the burgeoning development of South Michigan, this side of the city is now "happening," and the Chicago Hilton is well poised to take its proper place alongside the city's many other fine hotels.

    The public areas of the Chicago Hotel are more than suitable for a prestige propery. I especially like the grand foyer, which seems to belong in a French chateau, and the open bar by the check-in-desk, decorated with what seems like acres of marble. The guest rooms have been updated and redecorated. They're not exactly large, but they are comfortable - particularly if you are fortunate (as I was) and end up getting a room with two full bathrooms!

    I was little surprised at first when I saw that Priceline had classified the Chicago Hilton as a Four Star property, but after staying there, I'm a believer. I'd be glad to stay here again.

    NOTE: don't confuse this place, the Chicago Hilton, on South Michigan, with the Palmer House Hilton in the heart of the Loop further north. I'd say that the Palmer House has a more spectacular lobby, but the guest rooms there seem to be a little smaller.

    Hilton Chicago: Hilton - needs refurb & too far south!    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Hilton is fairly comfortable & not too bad value, but too far down in the Loop if you are a tourist and it really could do with a lick of paint here & there!!

    The Queen stays here (according to the man on the bus tour??)

  • Tip Rating:
  • Old Cliffie stayed at the Hilton, a massive pile fronting Michigan Avenue and the lake, that has seen presidents come and go and famously featured in the closing scenes of 'The Fugitive' with Harrison Ford. It's a big convention hotel, which makes it all seem a bit impersonal at times, but if you get the convention rate, it's a bargain.

  • This historic hotel is one of the most beautiful hotels in Chicago. Even if you aren't staying here, you might want to come check it out. With over 1500 rooms, the place is always packed with people. The lobby is beautiful, and the ballrooms are a great place to attend a wedding, concert, or other function. I even had a Paris Hilton spotting here one Saturday night when I came for a concert.

    The location is good if you want to be near museums or the businesses in the Loop. The hotel overlooks Grant Park, and is only a few blocks from the Art Institute. It is a short cab ride to all the shopping and restaurants.

    The rooms are great. The best feature is that double rooms have 2 full bathrooms! This was great for getting ready in the mornings. Other features include bathroom phones, safe, coffee/tea in room, extra towels/bedding, sitting area, refrigerator, minibar, and climate control. Each room is also soundproofed.

    General hotel features include 24 hr front desk, room service, sauna, health club, pool, spa, beauty salon, concierge, cell phone rental, valet parking (about $35 per day with in/out privileges), safe deposit box, limo service, on-site shopping and restaurants, bar/lounge, business center, currency exchange, and complimentary shopping shuttle up Michigan Ave.

  • The Hilton Chicago is located right on Michigan Ave. From here you can walk to shopping, tours, museums etc.. It is a prime spot! The hotel itself is lovely! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfy! The room I stayed in had 2 queen beds and 2 bathrooms. I've never seen a hotel room with two bathrooms! I would recomend this hotel to anyone who wants to be comfterble and in the middle of the city.

    Hilton Chicago: Tremendous hotel and great location    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • I cannot understand some of the adverse comments about this hotel.

    We have just returned from staying at the Hilton for 3 nights and we loved every minute. Yeah OK it is an old hotel, but it is historic, it didn't need any refurbishment when we visited, we were on floor 13 and the room was enormous, 2 bathrooms, 2 big beds, coffee, hairdryer, massive TV, gorgeous bed linen. The only problem we had (a small one) was the lifts, you waited ages as in 30 mins for one and when one did arrive it was full!!! It was 4th July so the hotel was full so I expect this was the reason.

    We visited the Chicago taste at Grant Park which is just across the road, we couldn't have planned our timing better as we didn't know about the TASTE until we got there.

    Honestly you are right on Mitchigan Ave, we walked everywhere, Sears Tower etc is 5 mins away, and the Magnificant Mile is just on the top of the road.

    I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough for rooms, staff, service and location.....go ahead and book it.
