Just spent two nights at The James. Loved it! Let me just say that the staff are OUTSTANDING...and that is the entire staff. The location is perfect for anything that you want to do downtown. Weather was so nice that we walked down to the Theatre District...nice 15 minute walk. Just steps from Michigan Ave. Lots of restaurants close by.... More

My wife and I were just going to Chicago for the weekend. We went on Sniqueway and found a great deal for the James hotel. It is a nice, trendy hotel that is walking distance from a lot of Michigan Avenue. The doormen and check-in staff were very friendly and helpful. The room had a great mini bar (although we... More

I'm in Chicago a lot for work and I'll certainly stay here when I can. The room was very comfortable (love the feather duvet and pillows), very clean and the fitness center has enough machines that there were no lines. It's in a good location and if you don't want to eat/drink at the James there are plently of other... More

Couldn't find much fault with the James at all. Check-in was friendly and efficient and all staff I had contact with were very knowledgeable and helpful. Location was superb and it was easy walking distance to many good bars, clubs, restaurants and attractions such as Sears Tower, Hancock Tower. Rooms were surprisingly spacious with ultra comfortable bed and TV was... More

We stayed here for a weekend getaway after finding a good promotional price on their website. The hotel displays original art and has a hip, modern feel. We had one of the larger rooms facing inwards (I think the rooms with a view are smaller), and were were very happy with it. Incredibly welcoming, helpful and friendly staff. Tip: the... More

This was our 2nd time staying at The James downtown Chicago and we love it. After a difficult, slow snowy drive into the City from our suburban home, it's just so nice to pull up and the bellman greet you and make you feel so welcome. Our entire stay both times was very pleasurable. The staff is great from top... More

The James is a lovely, eco-friendly boutique hotel in the heart of the Magnificent Mile. Service was outstanding and the room was huge in comparison to other boutique hotels nearby. Decor is modern, but not uptight. Very earthy in the heart of the city. The bar is nice and the staff are very friendly and ready to help in every... More

The most obvious benefit of staying here is the location. The hotel is one block away from Mag Mile shopping, and 4 blocks away from the Red Line subway station. It's also around the corner from Pizzeria Uno, so need I say more? The hotel is about the same price as most 4 stars hotel in town. But when you... More

We stayed a week at the James in Chicago. Booked online through Hotels.ca and got a great price. The regular rates were more than double what we paid. The place was clean and comfortable. The front desk people were excellent. We mostly walked all over downtown from this location. We did not rent a car as the trains are close... More
