Third time at Hotel Burnham. It's become a bit of a birthday tradition to go there. Rooms are beautiful. Location is perfect for seeing plays, etc. Staff always attentive. Valet parking ($50/night ~ unlimited in and out) was a bit rough. Service great. Will go back there again next year! Only complaint is that the bathroom is a bit out-dated. More

Stayed two times within a 3 week period. Comfortable rooms, great Chicago architecture- but both times I was blown away but the fantastic customer service and delicious room service. Super nice staff-- and fresh and creative food that you would never get at a larger hotel. yum. More

Whenever I'm in Chicago, this is my first choice for a hotel. The staff is always welcoming and the hotel has a number of little touches that make a routine business trip special. One of my favorite things is that they don't soak you (like some other hotels) for WiFi. The beds are comfortable and the restaurant downstairs is great. More

My husband and I stayed at the Burnham while attending the annual Chicago Blues Festival in June 2011. It's a great location for the festival because it is definitely within walking distance. Our room was smallish but comfortable. The price was also good. The bathroom didn't have enough shelf space but was otherwise modern. We liked the historic nature of... More

We've stayed at The Burnham for the past few years, both when passing through Chicago & enjoying a long weekend. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. The staff is unbelievably friendly & we always feel at home here. We sometimes travel with our dog & this is the only hotel I would consider in that case. The... More

Four and half stars (I'm a very tough rater). Perfect location and a must for anybody interested in architecture. This was one of the first modern skyscrapers in the world. Maybe because this was Chicago in January, but the price (I thought) was more than reasonable for being smack-dead in the middle of the Loop. My room was very nice,... More

The Burnham is a treat, old style Chicago building in the Loop and close to businesses and entertainment. The restaurant and bar are superb (I am a fan of bloody marys and crabcakes). Its all cozy and warm without seeming small. I've stayed there about 5 times and keep going back. Superb service and...its pet friendly. Kind of nice to... More

We live in Milwaukee and have visited Chicago for decades. This is one of the best possible locations - a few minutes walk from the Art Institute and Millennium Park, across the street from Macy's (Marshall Fields), short walk from Union Station, Navy Pier, Buddy Guy's, Magnificent Mile, Theater District, the EL, etc, etc. Small 16 floor hotel feels like...

I come to Chicago once a year on business and have until now always stayed at the Palmer House Hilton around the corner from Hotel Burnham, this year it was full so work booked me into Hotel Burnham and I am really glad they did! Pros: The service was very friendly and welcoming, the hotel feels reasonably small and intimate.... More
