I got a great rate for a Saturday night ($165) through Kimpton. Location is great, just off Michigan Avenue. Hotel parking is expensive ($48), but convenient. I noticed several public ramps nearby for the more cost-conscience person. The complimentary wine hour is of course a Kimpton standard. Comfy bed and the window seat in our room was awesome! Great value.

Thank you for the review. Glad that you got to enjoy a nice weekend with us and the amazing window seats! Parking downtown Chicago is a little pricey, but tax is included in the price and you also get unlimited in/out with valet parking. If you choose to not have a car, there are so many public transportation options, and...

This was our first time in Chicago, and we very much enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Monaco. The rooms are very clean and comfortable (alas, we didn't get a goldfish, nor a morning newspaper), and the staff were helpful. During our four-night stay the bathroom toilet flooded (leaky seal, nothing to do with us!), and Glenn the engineer was...

I hesitate to write this review as I prefer to keep some of my favorites to myself. However this is my senior contributor contribution... so here goes. I am in Chicago a lot, 12-14 times a year. The Monaco is a few short blocks to the loop and Miracle Mile/Michigan Ave so the location is superb.
This is a boutique...

This was my first time staying at the Hotel Monaco and I absolutely loved it! Knowledgable and friendly staff, great dining tips (The Gage and Wildberry), the rooms are hip and cool gone wild, and the happy hour (wine and Wii) just right. Location is awesome. I loved my room, especially the picture window/reading nook. And the room was VERY...

We'll even let you name him or her. We just added some new games to our lobby Wii, so next time you visit be sure to check...

Are there fancier hotels in Chicago? Yes. Are there pricier hotels in Chicago? Oh yes. Could there be improvements? Sure (The bathmat was a bit tattered), but the location is perfect, the staff is outstanding to a person, and for value? It simply cannot be beat.
Our introduction to the Kimpton Hotel group was first at this location ten years...

I can't speak highly enough of our staff and how great they are. Glad...

This was my first trip to Chicago and to the Hotel Monaco. I was not sure what to expect with either, but was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is a smaller hotel with lots of special things about it. Upon arriving, parking was a real issue and we found it easier to just let the valet do the parking. When checking...

It sounds like things went just as we hoped: you experienced the personal attention, the genuine care and the feeling important that we always hope for for all our guests. I...

We took advantage of a winter weekend special at a very reasonable price. Even though we knew nothing about this hotel or the Kimpton chain, it sounded nice and the location was good.
I was expecting to find it just a good value, but we were more than very happy with the weekend we had at the Monaco, we were...

This is my second time staying at the Monaco in the past year, and it only gets better. I reserved a suite facing the river. From the moment I stepped into the hotel I was treated like a VIP. When I left or entered the hotel I was called by name and always asked how my day was. Anything I...

Three friends stayed for a concert at the Chicago Theatre, just a block and a half away. We had plenty of room in a freshly carpeted room with two queen beds. Front desk service was lively and helpful as was the doorman throughout the the afternoon and evening. We ate dinner at the adjacent restaraunt, and again service was really...

Thank you for the review!!
