Probably the finest hotel that we have ever stayed at. The room was beautifully decorated and spacious with a great view. The beds (and bedding) were luxurious. We can't say enough about the wonderful concierge, Ron. He made reservations, recommended excellent dining, provided directions, shopping options and more. It may seem minor, but he really did make our trip much more enjoyable. The bar had good wine and the breakfast in the reataurant was very good too. All staff were friendly and helpful. We can't wait to stay at the Whitehall again!
Pros: Absolutely everything!
Cons: None.

I stayed at the Sofitel for my birthday and they upgraded me to a better room with a better view. The beds are SO comfortable, the bathrooms are gorgeous, and the views were excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Just beware of the Valet guys, they didn't tell me that I would be charged for valet automatically on my bill and he took my full amount of money for the valet. So I was charged twice...But the hotel was very nice about the situation and refunded my charge on the credit card within 24 hours. I highly recommend this hotel if you are in Chicago!

Six of us ladies spent four nights here. It's a great location; close to everything without having to walk too far. The rooms were clean with plenty of space, and the beds were very comfortable. We had great views. Service was good everywhere, except it was pretty slow at the "express" restaurant down on the river even though it was not busy. We got a good rate through Southwest Airlines. I would stay here again
Pros: Good location, Good Service, Comfortable

In the very beginig I was a litle intimidated by the decor all framed artwork and the prices ($39 NY strip) however at the table waiter brougth (without been asked) a taste of some house special wine sangiovese from italy wich was delicius and unexpensive and told us a litle bit about his recomendations for that evenig, after he took our order he said that's way to much food so he offered to split the dishes, at the end we had some tuna sashimi w chopsticks and stuff, a meatloaf with mash potatoes and creamy spinach have to say main dishes come with a side and the best part of the evening was the cobbler that also comes with ice cream, since then grill on the alley is a favorite spot for my family and friends, best value in the magnificent mile.
Pros: tuna sushi, prime rib quesadilla, trout w crab meat, crab cakes, meatloaf, cobbler
Cons: no parking, can be crowded

When they first built this place I was driving a cab nights so I went to check it out. You know, its the Ritz, legendary.
The lobby is not as you walk in; you have to take an elevator up to the 12th floor (if memory serves). It is posh and elegant as you might expect.
There is a big fountain there. I just thought of the engineering of this when I first saw it and was impressed. Later, when I sat at one of the little tables and relaxed, I was impressed by the peaceful ambiance they had created.
They used to have a 24 hour restaurant there. It has been years since I visited, so I have no idea if it is still open all night.
But when it was, it was a great place to eat some elegant and surprisingly not-too-expensive food in the middle of the night.
