My husband and I stayed at the Whitehall over St. Patrick's day weekend. First impression of the hotel was that it could use some substantial updating. The decor was dated, and there were several pieces of furniture in our room that were broken. On Saturday, we had a great day out and about in the city, but we were kind... More

Very helpful staff particularly the guys on the front door. The king bedroom was a generous size and , as other reviewers have said, the mattress was sooo comfortable. There is a fridge in the room but , as yet, no coffee maker. In the morning, you can get complimentary tea and coffee in the lobby until 10 am. The... More

We were booked into this hotel as part of a tour and were impressed right from the front door. We were met by the doorman, Danny, who was very helpful with valet parking, recommendation of restaurants and anything else we needed. The staff were all very friendly and also helpful and our room was beautiful with the most comfortable bed... More

Whitehall Hotel is in a great location. However, when spending over $400/night for a hotel room I expected a bit more. There is no in-room coffee (must go to lobby for coffee each morning), no in-room safe although they did bring a portable safe when we asked. We had to ask for our room to be serviced & at least...

Stayed for 2 nights in a suite on the 20th floor. Room has not been upgraded yet but was fine. Bed is amazing. Views from this floor are breathtaking . The problem that will keep us from returning to The Whitehall is the rudeness displayed by the early morning desk staff. Went down around 6:40am to get coffee as there... More

We stayed in a very spacious room for four days in May, experience flash floods, lightening storms, sunshine, heat, humidity and cold. Love visiting Chicago! I had stayed at the Whitehall in 1988 and remembered the charm. It's been substantially updated, and our room was amazing. No view, but quiet with amazingly comfortable bed and a wonderful bathroom.

Stayed here for two nights as part of a consultation taking place nearby. The location is great... just steps off Michigan Avenue and 10 minutes' walk from the Lakeshore. For a city with so many charming downtown hotels, this one just didn't quite stack up for me. The lobby is tiny and rather spartan. Although my room was large, well... More

Hello jef-ind, Thank you for your kind remarks about our location and restaurants. We regret that you were unimpressed with our lobby; it is actually not quite finished yet! We renovated it recently and are still waiting on some final touches, so maybe what you noticed was the original art that is not quite installed yet. We hope that you... More

For me the place started off on the wrong foot by not having our room ready when we arrived. Then "Evan" the surly desk jockey didn't do much to allleviate the frustration by asking us to "wait a few minutes".
