Last summer for my sixteenth birthday, my mother took me to Chicago. Due to a booking mishap we had had to frantically look for another hotel to stay in. The Drake was the first out of probably five or six hotels that actually had rooms available. I guess my mom had mentioned over the phone that it was my birthday... More

I've stayed in many four and five star hotels and by comparison do believe The Drake is one of the finest. Everything about it is classy and luxurious. The bed was so very comfy, beautiful linens, and plush towels. We stayed on the ninth floor, king bed, facing the lake. It was very large, spotless, and decorated beautifully. We valet... More

I lived in Chicago for 10 years and had always wanted to stay at this staple hotel. The Drake is an icon in the city, so I was excited to stay there the for a quick weekend home with my fiancé. The Drake is nice and service was good, but (while I can't be certain) I believe that I had... More

Fine room, nice dining/bar options (Coq d'Or very cool). I did have to almost resort to begging to track down an important overnight package (had to to call guest services twice and then... More

This is our third stay at the Drake. We didn't have a good start as we were getting out of our car to a woman screaming at the valets about her car. Once we got past that, we were greeted and checked in promptly. Our room on the sixth floor was a suite. However, I would not expect a hotel... More

Great location, beautiful room and wonderful restaurant and bar down stairs. This is a great place to meet friends for dinner or a glass of wine. Very friendly environment and lots of regulars. We have stayed here many times and always enjoy a nice experience!

My first visit to Chicago and extremely happy with our choice of hotels. I was worried about safety and walking the city however this area made me feel safe and I never worried even out walking by myself. The staff are friendly and helpful always greeting you with a smile. The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable we had... More

My wife and I visited and found this to be an exquisite, old world experience. From the elaborate dining hall to the stunning entryway chandeliers, we were impressed from the moment we arrived. The room was comfortable. The staff was attentive and courteous. The location was quite nice being being near shopping and within a brisk walk of Lincoln Park.... More
