We had a nice room on the top floor, clean and reasonably spacious. It had a separate toilet/Shower to the sink which is great so there's no waiting for the shower to do makeup or brush teeth. The room service was always attentive and super quick. We would go to breakfast and return to have our beds already made and fresh towels etc. Now the negatives which I'm sad to say because it is a lovely cute hotel. The location is a bit of a walk from the main places but a nice walk. It is quieter more affluent area and homely near to the elite branded shops. Short walk to the metro and the Lincon zoo. The building is old so maybe in a few years they will have these issues sorted. The air con fan came on randomly including in the middle of the night and would make such a loud noise you would wake up. It would blow cold air into the room even if the control says off and even if you go to switch it off it won't. In a few minutes it would do it again so make sure you aren't in a room with the main system. Also, the lift is old and gets stuck sometimes so you have to hit the button again and it's works. Coffee shop on site and japanese restaurant. Gym and bar/ lounge area. So all really lovely.

Very friendly and accommodating staff on arrival. Room was clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. Loved the daily text from the front desk checking on us. And they were very responsive when I texted them with questions. Cal’s was great for a quick bite to eat (with Vegan options) or a drink before turning in. Loved the wine and popcorn hour. Neighborhood was adorable! Butch McQuires was a favorite bar/restaurant for us. Walgreens within walking distance. Ubers within 2 minutes.

I’m not going to lie most of the hotel staff is extremely stand off-ish and rude. The only decent staff member that made my whole trip the best, was Issac, the bar guy. He really made me and all of the friendly other hotel people I met; experience the best time it was a hoot all 5 days! we even extended our stay just to see Issac again and because of the atmosphere he created. We almost did not extend our stay at this hotel because the front desk and other bartenders were extremely rude during our stay, but it was worth ignoring them and to stay because we had so much fun at the bar with Isaac, he needs a raise because if it wasn’t for him, we were thinking about calling Hilton to complain about this hotel. That’s how bad the staff‘s attitude was. This location was so great and the hotel was great, I liked that it had so many Christmas attractions and Christmas bars within walking distance.

Really nice Hilton property at a good value in Northern side of downtown. Close to red line and major streets. Hotel itself is obviously a historic hotel and is showing its age somewhat with some carpeting and such quite tarnished. However hygiene and service wise everything was perfect. I can tell they are making a great effort yo renovate the hotel in an effort to carrying it to a new millenium. Staying here as last part of my Chicago stay and really enjoying it so far.

I stayed here with my dog and this was an awesome location! We were able to walk to Lincoln park and they were plenty of other dogs around and many of the coffee shops let us come inside to get coffee. The rooms are super nice and the lobby was super cozy. When booking I didn’t pay attention to the destination fee but this is pretty standard across Hilton and Marriott so just make sure you use it on coffee in the morning in the lobby :) Parking wise, if you don’t need in and out privileges you can go on SpotHero and find one within a five minute walk for 20 bucks overnight

Came to the Claridge House for a quick visit to Chicago’s Gold Coast District. Stayed in a king room which was comfy and relaxing. While the rooms were fairly small, the small updates go along way. While you can tell some of the elements of the hotel are outdated. They do a great job of elevating the experience.

I’m a little late with this review, but our stay at the Claridge House in Chicago was absolutely incredible! We got engaged here in July, and the staff went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. My fiancé worked with them for weeks to plan everything, and they were truly amazing every step of the way. While he whisked me away on the architecture boat tour, the team transformed our room, setting up a stunning arrangement of flowers he’d ordered, flameless candles, fairy lights, rose petals, and even towel swans. It was magical! They completely nailed it, and now the Claridge House will always be our special place whenever we visit Chicago. The staff was 10/10 - genuinely kind, thoughtful, and professional. Thank you so much for helping make our engagement night so perfect!

Wonderful boutique hotel owned by Hilton. The room layout is well thought out. Great touches like real glasses and coffee mugs (ice machine on floor 2). New tech TV. The staff are warm and inviting. Comfy wine reception from 5-6pm. Cal's bar in the lobby that serves delicious fresh juices. Cool neighborhood with many walkable bars and restaurants. Pleasant stay!

While the rooms are a bit small, they are very comfortable. You can’t beat the price for this location, and we love the daily happy hour in the lobby! This is our go-to place to stay whenever we visit the city. It’s in the best neighborhood in town with only a short walk, train, or bus ride to anyplace you’d like to go!
