I stayed here with my 16year old from June 22nd thru to June 25th.....we had a 3 night whistle-stop visit planned to shop and sight-see! I would definately recommend The James. Check in was a breeze, quick and efficient and on entering the room we were very impressed with the 2 large double beds, plasma tv on the wall, full... more

The James is located in a great area, down the street from Magnificent Mile. The decor is modern and minimalist. There was a plasma tv, a player for your iPod, and free Internet. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only drawback was the washroom had a sliding door, which doesn't offer total privacy. But the soap and cream... more

From the moment we arrived we were stunned with the excellence of this hotel. Certainly not your standard, all amenities, cookie-cutter place, which to me was much of the charm. The staff were incredibly friendly, swift and accomodating. The James is extremely clean and well taken care of. It is in a fantastic location and I would stay there again... more

My husband and I stayed here on a business trip booked by a client. It has a beautiful lobby and bar, wonderful fitness room, rich furnishings and details in the rooms, and a very friendly and helpful staff. It also has doggie treats and pet pampering options if you travel with your animals. Our group had dinner, drinks, and desserts... more

The restaurant is really nice and has great food. The bar is relaxed and trendy and full of people. The beds are comfy and... more

My wife and I stayed at the James recently and we had a great experience. The hotel as others have mentioned is in an ideal location. It's in a quiet location, yet so close to many neighborhoods that you want to go to. We upgraded to a studio room which was totally worth the additional cost. It didnt have all... more

My girlfriend and I just returned from a Memorial Day weekend getaway to Chicago, where we stayed at The James. We found a great deal on Expedia a couple of weeks earlier (a non-refundable rate of $176/night for 3 nights) and found it to be a bargain compared to what we could've paid to stay at inferior hotels nearby. We... more

Amazing hotel, best in Chicago!! Great location right next to magnificent mile and an amazing restaurant in the hotel. Best steak I've eaten! The rooms were spacious (we booked a suite) and the staff all seemed very professional. We went to a few blues clubs (try B.l.u.e.s for the best you'll hear since the 60's). I would go back anytime... more
