I only stayed here for one night (my last one when I was in Chicago) and got a room in this hotel for 129dollars (including cont. breakfast). I choose this hotel based on the reviews here on this site and the fact it is situated in a historic landmark in Chicago. I wasn't dissapointed! This hotel is very very special.... 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

The staff here is genuine and friendly. It's a wonderful feeling when each member greets you by name everytime you walk into the lobby. They were so accommodating to my dog and had treats for him which he really enjoyed. Also, the concierges and agents were helpful in everything from recommending the best jazz clubs to getting baseball tickets to... more

I must say staying at the Hotel Burnham really took the whole experience of Chicago up to another level. We just spent a long weekend in Chicago. As an architect, the fact that I am staying in the Reliance Building --- so brilliantly restored --- is a dream come true. It is part of American architectural history. This is one... more

We stayed at the Burnham for 8 nights as my bf works across the road and it was a GREAT place to stay...for an incredibly good price! The rooms themselves are nice,comfy beds,good views but fairly small. Bathroom wasn't too small to cope with. Nice aveda bathroom products too. We were on the top floor and everyone was absolutely lovely... more

I loved this hotel - it was charming, well-kept and located right in the middle of everything! Very easy to get to from Midway airport (just take the orange line to Washington and walk a few blocks...looked like it was also easily accesible from O'Hare too), my friend and I hardly had to use our CTA passes! The rooms are... 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

My husband had stayed at this hotel several times in the past but this was my first experience. The hotel is located downtown, within minimal walking distance to subway stops, the public Library, Millenium Plaza, and the Museum of Art. My first experience wasn't very positive. I had called to verify that a crib would set up in a room... more

Stayed there June 2008, loved every single thing about it, the service, the warm and accommodating employees, the location, the price. Lovely and special in every detail. If I ever get to go back to Chicago, I will be staying there. We never liked a hotel better. more
