I have stayed in many hotels in Chicago over the years. I always check the rates at The Ambassador, before I book elsewhere. While this hotel has been around for many years, it is well kept and you will not find a better location. The hotel sits near great bars and restaurants, while positioned in a very nice area of... more

All staff members were friendly and helpful. The room was large, quiet, comfortable with plenty of drawers and closet space. The location was great. A lovely quiet area, but plenty of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. Just a 10 minute walk to a Red Line subway stop. It's an older, but well maintained hotel. more

In a very nice location close to shopping and places to eat and also in a beautiful neighborhood. A small hotel with a pleasant place to sit in the lobby, the Pump Room is a classic place to have a drink. We did not have dinner there so I can not comment but we enjoyed people watching while we had... more

Very noisy in the morning, could hear other guests in... more

Every thing was impeccable. Friendly service staff. A couple of them gave us some history about the Hotel and the Pump Room. Very top notch establishment. Not austentacious - simple yet elegant. more

The Ambassador East is located in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago. It is just a few blocks from the train station, so it was easy to get anywhere in town. The hotel is a National Historic Landmark so the lobby is elegant and beautiful. We loved the Pump Room bar with tons of B & W photos of celebrities.... more

The Ambassador East Hottel is located in the heart of the Gold Coast Neighborhood just seps from Michigan Avenue and great shopping. It is also located near great dining facilities and many neat pubs. The Ambassador is a Historic hotel that needs some tender loving care. This old lady could use a nip and tuck here and there. With that... more
