What a cool building. Some historic hotels keep the facade and just gut rehab the interior. Not here. They preserved as much as they could while giving us the updated comfort we need. Try for an upper floor, a throwback to a pre-war office building with marble walls, frosted glass, and thick old hardware on the doors. Extremely helpful staff... More

I recently stayed at the Burnham for a week on business and I thoroughly enjoyed this hotel. Right off the bat you notice that the decor and ambiance is unique and upscale. The more time you spend in the hotel the more you notice the small and thoughtful details throughout, which only adds to the experience. The hotel was beautiful... More

This was not my first Kimpton experience but it was my first time at the Burnham in Chicago. The location was excellent - we walked everywhere - Navy Pier, Millenium Park, Shopping on Michigan Avenue, restaurants on Hubbard but that was just the icing on the cake. Every person we encountered while staying at the Burnham from the Doorman to... More

Traveled with our Bulldog for a total of 3 nights. Only down side was that it is about 4 blocks to Millennium Park to walk the dog, which sadly is a big down side for us. Looking past that, it was very,very nice. Stayed in a king bed suite, the second part of our stay the room was spectacular. Bedroom... More

Location, service, decor, price and history too! One of the few still standing buildings by the architect of the Columbian Exposition of 1892. As good as it gets on a business trip.

One of my Chicago favorites, when I need to be close to work and feel like I'm at home this is the perfect spot. The rooms are cozy and just right. The food is to die for, a Chicago gem.

We stayed in this wonderful hotel may 2012.. If you are staying in Chicago this is the hotel for you... Charming, clean, and friendliest staff we have ever encountered. Rooms are clean and so comfy..As a kimpton member we were even given a 10.00 raid the bar coupon what a treat! So make sure you sign up to become a... More

Reconverted small office building at the corner of Washington & State, across from old Marshall Field's (Macy's). Attentive staff, charming room and great location. Used the hotel restaurant after day-long meeting and it, too, was excellent. Definitely a 'do-again' when I need to be in Chicago.

The Burnham is one of the Kimpton chain of trendy hotels. It is in a repurposed office builiding, an architectural landmark, the Reliance Building. The halls still have the feel of an old office building, with glass doors and transoms and real brass keys! The conversion was done in very good taste, preserving the old stairways and the old elevator... More
