We stayed at the Blackstone in early August to go to the Lollapalooza Music Festival and to visit area colleges. We were really blown away by all aspects of the hotel (except for reservations but I will get to that later). The service in the hotel was really topnotch and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Room service went... more

My wife and I were celebrating our 22nd Wedding Anniversary and decided on The Blackstone Hotel on Michigan Ave. in Chicago. Before our stay we were contacted via email with a personal note regarding our arrival. This was a very nice touch. I informed them of our anniversary and when we arrived at our room we had been upgraded to... more

This historic building is absolutely beautiful. Don't let the age put you off -- the rooms have been updated and provide a perfect guest stay. Ours faced Lake Michigan so we could look out over the weekend fireworks at Navy Pier. If you need to be at the Chicago Hilton for an event, skip the Hilton and stay across the... more

It was an incredibly convenient location with in & out parking privileges which allowed us to go back and forth between the auditions with no problem. It was just across the street (a short 2 minute walk) from Lake Michigan. On the interior of the hotel the... more

I have to say this is one of the better hotels we have stayed in in awile. I am started to think custoner service and proper cleaning was a thing of the past but the Blackstone met all of my expectations. We reserved a King size room so we had no problem like the previous posters with bed size. The... more

My wife and kids and I had a very disappointing experience at the Blackstone this past weekend. I had booked two rooms for two nights at the Blackstone 6 months ago for Lollapalooza this year, and it turned out to be a very poor choice. When I had tried to book the rooms on the Blackstone's website, it would only... more
