“So much. We had a dog and were on the same floor with other pet owners. We could only hear noise from our neighbors when we were outside of the room, with the exception of a sweet puppy who was missing its owners for a few minutes. Just about everyone on staff was helpful and resourceful even when they couldn't help us with something. The location of the hotel is just across the street from Grant Park, which means close to museums, restaurants, the Metra, highway, and walkable to so much. We didn't opt for the hotel parking, but found cheaper and great parking not even a block away that allowed for in and out (versus paying to park everytime we left the lot/garage). With the exception of the rude employee, we had an incredible stay.” Read more

“everything is perfect, location,comfort, kind and friendly staff and the hotel has an elegant and sophisticated decoration that’s why it is my favorite place in chicago to stay. 🖤”

“The Blackstone is a gorgeous hotel, and our room was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location is great — very safe, with the lakeside parks right outside the door and downtown Chicago an easy walk away. My wife and I didn't end up taking a cab or train once during our stay, preferring to walk everywhere. There is also a lot of parking available in the immediate vicinity, from the Hilton car park across the street (more expensive, but probably nicer) to the public parking garage that we used around the block at 801 S. Wabash Ave. (quite dirty but very reasonably priced). The view from our room, which was on the 18th floor, was exceptional, looking out over the city and Lake Michigan towards Navy Pier. We shall most definitely stay at the Blackstone if we are ever in Chicago again.” Read more

“Wonderful location, beautiful facility. Chicago is slowly reopening and the staff was very accommodating. The room was spacious, the bedding was comfortable, bathroom lovely! Everything was super clean, with modern amenities. Still a very vintage, boutique-feel which I love. They have high floors, ask for a room with a view!” Read more

“Stunning and took my breath away. I could feel the history around me. As a Marriott member, I got an upgrade. The executive room was fabulous, City view and also had a surprise small view of the lake where I sat with a glass of white wine to toast our stay. ” Read more

“Beautiful hotel and you are very close to my daughter's apartment so the location is great! Only downside was the restaurant being closed.”

“The location was excellent, no vehicle necessary at all!! We did Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium and attended a Bears game at Soldier Field. The Museum campus, parks and Buckingham Fountain are all within easy walking distance!! Also, the bellman holding our bags before and after checkout so we could walk and explore the city was tremendously helpful!! He even gave us walking tips and direction and remembered my name through out my 2 day stay!!” Read more

“Excellent location right on Michigan ave right across from Grant Park, Buckingham Fountain. Beautiful old hotel. The staff was excellent - we forgot toiletries and requested extra blankets which were immediately brought to us. The bar was nice. Getting a taxi outside was real easy.” Read more
