The hotel is located centrally and it was easy to get to my client. The staff was generally knowledgeable about the area and gave good restaurant recommendations. more

This month marked my 4th stay at Hotel Burnham which has given me ample opportunity to make a fair assessment. The unpretentious staff has been consistently courteous, eager to please, and seem to genuinely want guests to feel welcomed. The hotel is centrally located in The Loop with Millennium Park and the Art Institute a short walk away. The physicality... more

This hotel is styled with quicky 1920s touches such as art deco furniture, blue velvet music themed curtains/bedspreads. The beds are comfy, but do overtake the "single" king rooms. The bathrooms and rooms are on the small side - but I don't expect much larger when staying downtown in a city. The hotel is in a renovated bank building -... more

Was there for 2 nights mid-week on business. The hotel is historic and charming (real keys for the rooms!) with a very good restaurant providing prompt room service. Tho I didn't travel with a pet, I appreciate that it is pet friendly (and didn't see, hear or smell any pets during my stay). The location is ideal, Macy's, Old Navy,... more

This is a drop dead gorgeous boutique hotel with loads of thoughtful touches. The service is also impeccable. I felt like a pretty princess waking up here every morning. The complimentary wine in the evening is lovely as well. You should know that the rooms are very small, however. I didn't mind, but I am a small person used to... more

Arriving at the hotel, the exterior is strikingly ornate and beautiful. The original architecture continues inside with pretty filligree in the elevators and mosaic tile that I believe is original?? There is a unique feel to the guestroom hallways with the frosted glass 'office' doors - they are very private, though. The guestrooms are standard hotel size and comfortable. I... more

I liked the look and feel of this hotel. It's older, but it has personality. My room was clean but also a bit worn, with an older Zenith analogue TV (but a very nice new and easy-to-use Sony clock radio) next to the bed. It was a bit dark, and could have benefited from a lamp next to the sofa... more

Had to stay at the Hotel Burnham for two days of meetings in Chicago--left after the first night. Here's why. The rooms and baths aren't just small--they're tiny. No fatties! Our first room had a bathroom reminiscent of an airliner's. The front desk staff--who were very pleasant and helpful--showed us to other rooms which resulted in a room that was... more

Dear David and Family I was most dismayed to hear that our Hotel did not meet your needs and requirements. I do appreciate that it is not to everyone's taste but do hope you had a great time in Chicago, it's such a wonderful city. Our boutique hotel by it's very nature is petite and follows the original design and...

Stayed at the Hotel Burnham last weekend. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. Very cozy. Our room was small, but tastefully decorated. Location is perfect. Loved it more
