Great place to stay. Old and majestic, the Drake sits on the northern end of the North Michigan Avenue "miracle mile".
The Drake probably has the best location for Lake Michigan views and Michigan avenue frontage.

I stayed at the Drake for a week in January on business. I had heard much about the historic significance of the hotel and it did not disappoint! The lobby is beautiful, with a nice, old-world style charm and the display of famous guests on the ground floor shows the caliber of quality the hotel is hoping to convey. Check-in...

Old but filled with history and culture. Half of the staff seems to have been here for decades and they really know what they are doing. You have to check out the bar. And, btw, the rates are great.
