Looked to stay here after seeing several good reviews, and and pretty good prices on several websites, but could not find a site that didn't post hundreds of dollars in extra person fees. If you looked up a room for 4 people they would give you the price for the double and then in the summary show $300 in extra... More

Very comfortable hotel with nice view if looking out on the lake. Comfortable rooms and just 5 minutes away from Michigan Avenue. Very well located without the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Very nice buffet breakfast. More

We stayed at the Swissotel recently while attending a conference. The hotel is very comfortable and at a nice location. I would give it an "Excellent" rating if it weren't for the bait-and-switch techniques and the elevators. We arrived the day before the conference started, when all the people started coming in, and we checked in around 4:10pm, which was... More

I stayed here for a business convention and it ran at 100% capacity. Their execution was flawless. The rooms were clean, service fast. My room had a spectacular view of the lake and the Navy pier. The bath tub was comfortable and the bathrobe plush. The elevators have the new controls where you punch the floor number into the control... More

Lots of cons for this property and very few pros. Cons: run down rooms; weak Internet connection; very long delays for room service; all kinds of construction going on; not centrally located; much better hotels for much less money (we paid about $150 and the Palomar, rated #2 by tripadvisor, was $110); noisy heater. Pros: bathroom was ok. Nice view... More

I stayed at the Swissotel for one night on a business trip. Check in was fast and friendly. The room was spacious and had a great view. I stayed at other hotels in the immediate area. This room was larger for a much better price. The only facility I used was the restaurant/bar for a late night snack. Service was... More

We have stayed at many hotels in the city that are better with similar rates - we did get a very good deal for New Year's Eve ($150 per night - all in price), but I would not stay here again. The view can be quite good, although neither our travelling companions or us had a particularly nice location within... More

I loved this hotel! After searching multiple chicago hotels last month for something special, but also a rate that wouldn't prevent us from paying our january mortgage, i was lucky enough to find this hotel for a one night family getaway. They were offering a special rate for a corner suite. It was sooo nice! Room was clean (which is... More
