We got this hotel by chance since we decided the spur of the moment to spend a nite in Chicago on 7/24/09. We went thru Priceline and was lucky to get a room at this hotel for only $69 (normal rate was around $200). The room was superb on the 29th floor with a nice king bed. Hotel is only... more

As we had come from a small bedroom in a hotel in NY the size of the room on arrival was amazing! Lovely bathroom, comfy bed, wide screen telly and the major plus was an nespresso machine in the room! The location is excellent, right by millennium park and can walk to main shopping area in about 10 minutes. Didn't... more

The Good: The location is perfect! Walking distance to Navy Pier, Millenium Park, shopping on State St. and Michigan Ave---we even walked from the Union Station Amtrak station---it takes about 30 minutes, but w/ little luggage and lots to look at it--the time flies. The concierge service was really great. They gave us good recommendations of things to do in... more

Got a great promo rate, so went for the Fairmont. Absolutely LOVED the hotel. Very courteous, unpretentious service. I wasn't prepared for how friendly all of the staff were. The room was exquisite and I'll let my photos speak for themselves. Location was fantastic: walkable to Michigan Ave. and to Navy Pier. We used our car to venture out to... more

I vacationed at the Fairmont Chicago for 3 nights in July 2009. The room, the bathroom, the view, and the staff were all wonderful. I just wish the hotel were a few blocks North (on MI Ave). Sometimes, when you're tired, that extra couple of blocks seem like miles! more

My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend of shopping and sightseeing. The staff was absolutely delightful, they went out of their way to see our stay was pleasant and our special requests were met. This was in addition to the clean comfortable rooms and a wonderful location. I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a Chicago... more

From the moment I stepped up to the front entrance my luxury service began! I enjoyed every minute @ the fairmont! The King room was spacious and the decor chic! The coffee maker was the coolest and the bathroom is huge! I really like the separate shower, tub, and separate door for the toilet. The desserts and cheese spread at... more

This hotel is really a nice location - just off Mil. Park and Grank Park - a few blocks from Lake Michigan and the marina area and just blocks from the theatre district and Michigan Avenue - probably the best location I have ever stayed in Chicago... moreso - QUIET little streets surround the hotel and the views are nice.... more

Up For a Cubs weekend --we usually stay wherever Priceline can put us for $75 or so. That usually means the Hyatt, Drake, Wyndham Chicago, Burnham, Palmer House or Hilton Chicago. Since it was our anniversary and I was able to get a deluxe-view king for about $50 more under Fairmont's Friends and Family promotion (you need an employee id... more
