It’s gorgeous of course and I loved the history. I wished I had more time to check out the exhibits and the event rooms. You can text the staff if anything comes up and hear back from them right away. Everyone was extremely courteous. But I really wanted the ability to make coffee in my room. Also, there were VERY limited vegan options for dining which is a common request in 2024.

Elegant lobby with smallish, dated rooms
Hotel is elegant but dated, as are the rooms. The express elevator to floor 22 is great, with no wait time, but the rooms are small even on the exec floor and not modern lookig at all. I also didn't appreciate walking the gauntlet of sales reps schlepping the Hilton packages as we were checking out. That's too much "Buy a Time share" sales pitch for a first rate hotel, and why I gave you only 3 stars. Also, $60 a day parking is nuts. If I had known, I would have slept in my car at that rate.......

Our stay was fantastic rooms were nice size closets refrigerator. Love the old Nostalgia of all the old timers who played and sang at the Empire dining room. Very close to all the activities restaurants Michigan Avenue it was great only thing and I guess that's typical of Chicago Downtown parking not provided except for valet $80 a day ridiculous or down the street $55 a day in and out okay of the parking in addition to that they charge $25 plus tax a day some kind of fee for what I don't know on top of your hotel stay.

First off great location being right on so many L lines. Hotel is old and showing its age with scuffed floors and chipped paint. Bed was good, cleaning seevice in the rooms was great, I’d stay again for location but for the price and condition I might also look elsewhere with L access.
