I lived in Chicago for 5 years and recently went back for a visit with my husband. We had the BEST stay at the Talbot, and I'm so excited to make this my new go-to hotel for future visits to Chicago. The staff was really accommodating and warm, the hotel is updated and beautiful. The location is amazing. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the room service was super speedy. This is a boutique hotel with character and class...like a mini Ritz at a much better value. I would definitely recommend this hotel and can't wait to stay there again.

My husband and I stayed in a one bedroom suite for two nights over the New Years Eve weekend. Our friends also stayed in a one bedroom suite on the same floor. We all really enjoyed the rooms-from the spaciousness of the livingroom to the nice size bedroom. The bathroom was very nice with separate vanities for him and her, a water closet, separate soaking tub and shower. The doormen and baggage valet were very friendly and helpful. It's always nice to talk to locals like them to see where to eat and play!

The bar was nice and we enjoyed a few drinks there. I told the bartender how to make a drink for me and he made it perfectly. Breakfast (which was included in our package) at Bice Ristorante was good, not great. The waffles were a little bland. I would have liked to had dinner or lunch there because reviews of the restuarant from several sources were mostly very good. Oh well, next time, because all of us plan to be repeat customers at this hotel!

During a 5- week road trip, my husband and I stayed in many hotels across the US - some less fancy and some more. We still rave about the Talbott. From the excellent service, including the concierge, to the very comfy beds to the spacious bathroom to the fabulous location in the "near north" -- everything was just about perfect. We have found our Chicago hotel and will be back there on our next visit to this great city.

My husband and I chose the Talbott for an overnight getaway - our first trip alone since having two small children. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and the staff was so cordial and professional. The location was good for us, and our room was fantastic - we had a suite, and we're already talking about staying there again with our kids, as there would be ample space for all of us. The bathroom was large as well, and nice. Everything was clean, with the exception of a small amount of leftover food in the refrigerator which had apparently been overlooked. (Not a big deal to us, as we weren't planning on using the fridge anyway.) We appreciated help from the concierge downstairs, and breakfast was delicious. We will most likely choose this hotel on our next stay!
