    magical decor
    charming ambiance
    delicious food
    poor soundproofing

    Staying at the Drake with my family was a wonderful experience! The Christmas decor added a magical touch, and we particularly enjoyed exploring the trendy shops along Michigan Avenue. Dining at Coq d'Or was a highlight with its charming ambiance and delicious food.

    My kids wished the room had better soundproofing from the hallway.

    Charming Stay with Excellent Staff

    Enjoyed a cozy night in a Queen Room. The staff went above and beyond, especially the concierge who recommended excellent local spots. Don’t miss the delightful breakfast at the on-site restaurant! Parking can be a bit tricky, so consider using a ride service.

    spacious room
    great amenities
    relaxing jacuzzi
    slow elevator service

    We had a fantastic stay in a spacious King Room with plenty of amenities, like a coffee maker and a lovely view. We especially enjoyed the relaxing vibe of the jacuzzi and the beautiful decor throughout the hotel. Our only minor hiccup was the slow elevator service during busy times, but it didn’t overshadow our overall great experience! 😊

    friendly staff
    historical ambiance
    small room
    chipped furniture
    noise issues

    The historical ambiance and location were notable highlights during my stay, enhancing the overall experience. Friendly staff made the interactions enjoyable, particularly the bartender who provided a warm welcome. However, the room was small and in need of an upgrade, with chipped furniture and peeling wallpaper detracting from the charm. Additionally, the noise from adjoining rooms was disruptive, particularly early in the morning. Despite these drawbacks, the stay retained a certain nostalgic allure that I appreciated.

    My recent stay at the Drake was quite pleasant. The staff were exceptionally attentive, ensuring all my business needs were met. The King Room Lake View provided an elegant atmosphere and stunning views of Lake Michigan, which was a refreshing sight during my busy workdays. The breakfast service was efficient, and the quality of food offered a great start to my mornings.

    The elevator was somewhat slow during peak hours.

    comfortable beds
    elegant vibe
    delicious breakfast
    loud neighbors
    poor in-room dining

    The Drake is a piece of living history, with an elegant vibe that oozes charm. The comfortable beds had me sinking into sweet slumber, and the breakfast spot served up mouthwatering dishes that kicked off my mornings just right. Plus, snag those nearby gems like the Cheesecake Factory and Coq D'Or for more culinary delights!

    Unfortunately, our neighbors were celebrating a wedding both nights, and the noise kept my wife tossing and turning until the early hours. Also, it’s a shame the in-room dining options felt more like a last-minute snack attack wrapped in paper bags than a proper experience.

    i recently stayed in a king room lake view and was thrilled by the elegant interiors and stunning view of lake michigan. my previous stay in chicago didn’t quite meet my expectations, but this time the service was exceptional and very attentive. the palm court for high tea was a delightful bonus!
