Are there fancier hotels in Chicago? Yes. Are there pricier hotels in Chicago? Oh yes. Could there be improvements? Sure (The bathmat was a bit tattered), but the location is perfect, the staff is outstanding to a person, and for value? It simply cannot be beat. Our introduction to the Kimpton Hotel group was first at this location ten years... More

This was my first trip to Chicago and to the Hotel Monaco. I was not sure what to expect with either, but was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is a smaller hotel with lots of special things about it. Upon arriving, parking was a real issue and we found it easier to just let the valet do the parking. When checking... More

We took advantage of a winter weekend special at a very reasonable price. Even though we knew nothing about this hotel or the Kimpton chain, it sounded nice and the location was good. I was expecting to find it just a good value, but we were more than very happy with the weekend we had at the Monaco, we were... More

This is my second time staying at the Monaco in the past year, and it only gets better. I reserved a suite facing the river. From the moment I stepped into the hotel I was treated like a VIP. When I left or entered the hotel I was called by name and always asked how my day was. Anything I... More

Three friends stayed for a concert at the Chicago Theatre, just a block and a half away. We had plenty of room in a freshly carpeted room with two queen beds. Front desk service was lively and helpful as was the doorman throughout the the afternoon and evening. We ate dinner at the adjacent restaraunt, and again service was really... More

We went to the Monaco hotel for a week-end. Perfect. Nice rooms, very warm (thermosthat control in the room), nice bed, very clean. Very nice and efficient staff, very good service. I will stay there again More

Our recent stay at the Monaco, a Kimpton Hotel, was awesome. The rooms, the staff, the attached rest/lounge couldn't be better. We had a great view and a very comfortable bed. We have stayed at the Allegro, the Burnham and the Palomar, all Kimpton hotels. The Monaco was the last on our list for Kimpton properties and it was great.... More

This hotel was a real treat from the wine reception to the wonderfully comfortable rooms. It was a birthday treat. Love the bar, truffle fries are a hit, wonderful signature martinis! More

From the moment I arrived curb-side until left for the airport three days later, I was very much impressed with the hotel, location, and service I received during my three-day stay! It's always a great sign when you are greeted curbside by the doorman and he remembers your name for the next three days! This is an older Chicago hotel... More
