The ultimate Chicago hotel experience! Once an exclusive men's club, this stunning Gothic landmark is now a one-of-a-kind hotel, blending rich history with modern luxury. From grand staircases to vintage sports-inspired décor and cozy fireplaces, every corner feels like a step back in time—while still offering all the comforts of today. The rooms are straight out of a Wes Anderson film, with warm wood accents, vintage-inspired furnishings, and plush linens that make for an ultra-comfortable stay. Historic charm meets contemporary elegance, creating an atmosphere that’s both stylish and inviting. The staff is exceptional—I even received a complimentary upgrade! The Drawing Room on the second floor, which serves as the hotel’s lobby, feels like something out of a Harry Potter movie, adding to the hotel’s enchanting ambiance. The vibe throughout is effortlessly cool, making this an unforgettable stay in the heart of Chicago, across from Millennium Park.
Mar 2025This was an excellent experience all around. It has a gorgeous design and a ton of common space, which you will need because the rooms are very compact - what you would expect from NYC. The rooms are very well appointed which makes up for the lack of real estate. The bathroom was luxurious and had sexy, moody lighting, luxury skin and hair products, and high-end plumbing fixtures. One thing I love is a hotel with lots of water pressure in the shower! The bed was very comfortable and the clever room design captured every single inch of unique storage space. I loved the room-wide upholstered window seat and windows that opened for fresh air. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. There's a rooftop restaurant (very casual) along with an elegant skylit restaurant off the lobby as well as a full bar that faces the street with window walls that open up and bring the outdoors in. Be mindful that there are extra hotel charges for the Wi-FI, city bikes, nearby gym access, etc.
Aug 2024This Kimpton hotel was wonderful and in a great location in downtown Asheville. The room size was very spacious with floor-to-ceiling windows and a very luxurious bathroom/shower area. There are tons of built-in drawers and closets. The room had very soothing hues and seemed pretty lush with complimentary WI-FI. The beds are amazing and I slept like a baby! There is a spa onsite and a large, wonderful restaurant. The area is very walkable with lots of restaurants, shops, and galleries nearby. The Biltmore Estate is close by as is the historic Grove Park Inn
