Beautiful hotel. It's always fun to stay at a Kimpton for the amenities and design, although the rooms are often small. The Burnham is a beautifully updated property convenient to everything in the Loop and just a short walk to the L. Don't expect a Sheraton-sized room. Do expect a well-executed urban hotel in a great, historic building. An annoyance:... more

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending a week at the Hotel Burnham. This is a small boutique hotel created from the 1895 Reliance Building. Probably our finest hotel experience. Situated in the middle of the Loop, so you have quick access to the elevated trains and attractions like Grant Park and the Sears Tower. Excellent staff with... more

We loved this hotel. Very charming. Very nicely decorated rooms in historic building. Very friendly staff. We also enjoyed the Attwood restaurant for lunch. Room rate was also terrific. Would definitely stay there again. more

Definitely the best service at any hotel in Chicago so far. Tracy at the front desk is a gem - and fixed any problem caused by others - but every employee is concerned with your stay - right down to the guy that changes the air filters. (No kidding.) Rooms are generally small but well appointed. Wine hour is a... more

Arriving at the hotel, the exterior is strikingly ornate and beautiful. The original architecture continues inside with pretty filligree in the elevators and mosaic tile that I believe is original?? There is a unique feel to the guestroom hallways with the frosted glass 'office' doors - they are very private, though. The guestrooms are standard hotel size and comfortable. I... more

When I walked into the Hotel Burnham, I immediately felt at ease. The staff was terrific, notably including the room service waiter who made sure we got exactly what we wanted for dinner, even when the kitchen was super busy. The entire place is decorated in a very classic style. Be sure to eat at least dessert at the Atwood... more

Delightful.

Loved this place - great-but-not-snobby service, gorgeous, well-located, spotless, and charming. Our room was fairly small, but quite nicely appointed with a comfortable bed and a desk chair suitable for a human to use for more than ten minutes without having back spasms. Plenty of pillows and towels and blankets and so on (my husband's pet peeve) and nothing smelled... more

A beautiful small hotel! Spent three nights over weekend. An historical building with lots of architectural aspects. Room was small, but adequate; lovely bedding and drapery. The shower was great (this is how my husband rates a hotel room). Location couldn't have been better to enjoy museums, shop, theater. Service was excellent; everyone so friendly and helpful. They will even... more

Spent 5 nights recently in the Hotel Burnham and can only praise it. *Location - fabulous location on Washington and State in the Loop area. It's near shopping (Macy's is directly across from it, Nordstroms beside it - and many more nearby), theatres and restaurants, parks (Millenium Park is only a few blocks away) and has excellent transit connections (bus... more

We stayed at the Burnham thinking we were taking a risk staying at a non big name hotel. Instead we were treated to a room decorated with great detail and quality furniture. It was not a bed in a box like the big hotels. The nightly free wine service, the morning free coffee service taking place in their lobby next... more
