No title - expert review
If you don't need to be in the Loop and enjoy self-catering, the Belden-Stratford could be a good choice. It is in a 1920s apartment building facing Lincoln Park, a few miles north of downtown. This is a popular lakefront neighbourhood with plenty of leafy running paths, bicycle lanes and beaches. D...

A magnificent 1920s facade beckons you to this primarily upscale apartment building. Most tenants have long-term leases here, but management keeps some attractively priced studios and suites for overnight stays. Hand-painted clouds grace the ceiling of the elegant lobby, which houses two popular Fre...

Romance-inclined couples and suits on expense accounts seem to agree on Ambria. The lush, art nouveau decor sets a sensual stage for updated French food, which might include the likes of blackberry-sauced venison, lobster gazpacho, and rosemary-infused lamb loin. If the à la carte offerings a...

This little piece of Paris recreates a classic bistro with views of Lincoln Park that could pass - with the help of a couple of glasses of vin from the rolling wine cart - for the Tuileries. Park-front windows let in ample natural light, warming the wood-trimmed interior. Best bites include several ...

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, comfortable room, nicely accessible to downtown, excellent value with the deal we got through Expedia. Downsides of the visit: toilet partially plugged at around 10 p.m. on a Sunday night, had to wait until morning for service; kitchen was not stocked very well for c...

Building is part hotel, part apartments. Beautiful, historic building. Access to 24 hour fitness facility and laundry room made stay more comfortable.

good location - user review
I think that the location of the hotel is great and one of the only reasons to stay at this hotel vs. downtown. But the front desk staff left something to be desired. The rooms are sufficient but do not expect luxury, the room that I stayed in was comfortable but very outdated. It was nice to have t...

I was on business in Chicago the first week in Jan and thought it would be nice to have my wife and Son drive up from Indy for the weekend. When she arrived no one assisted her (she is 6 month pregnant traveling w/a 2 year old). 2 bellmen stood there talking, while she struggled w/bags and my Son. F...

Incredible value - user review
I would prefer to keep this place a secret that's how good it is. The view of the LP Zoo gardens and Lake Michigan from the 12th floor were worth the price of admission. There is an excellent restaurant and spa on site, and the area (Lincoln Park) is very walkable, with beautiful old brownstones wit...

Nice hotel well appointed in lobby and public areas. Rooms are okay, not terribly clean (dust bunnies behind nightstands, dust on top of shower rod, etc). To me a four star hotel should offer a clean, safe, comfortable environment that satisfies the travelers basic needs without special requests. Fi...

Great place - user review
Really great place, literally right across the street from the Lincoln Park Zoo and Conservatory. However, I was not totally aware that this is a mostly residential hotel with 300 apartments and only 35 hotel rooms. Things like an ice machine and vending machines were not as readily available as I h...

The lobby is gorgeous. My suite, which is not yet the deluxe suite, is big, clean, and beautiful. I love the kitchen, too. They provide knifes, cutting board, pans, etc. The soap, shampoo, and lotion are the best among all the hotels I have been to. Staff is very nice, caring, and patient. My friend...

Whilst the hotel is not right in the city of Chicago it is without doubt a 4 star plus hotel. Situated near Lincoln Park and the Chicag Zoo and right on the main bus route with only a five minute ride to the centre of Chicago.

Gorgeous old hotel with a variety of distinctive rooms, not the cookie cutter approach of new hotels. Still, it lacks any semblance of newness, and as such, comes off as somewhat shoddy in places. While the furniture, beds, carpet, and paint weren't awful, replacing these things would make the Belde...
