This is with out a doubt the finest hotel in Chicago. Everything about it 5 star plus. My room was large, the windows opened so you can let in fresh air and hear the city sounds. The location is right on Michigan Avenue in the middle of the Magnificent Mile. There is a great reception area, a large lobby restaurant... more

Great 5 nights at The Peninsular where the service was supreme, the room great, the location perfect and the food delightful. Ate the mad 15 course tasting menu at Avenues - little bit too much food for our delicate UK stomachs though the locals seemed to fare better! Great room service food and excellent staff. Concierges were superb and really... more

You come into the hotel and come up one floor to the main lobby to register. The rooms are large and very well decorated with mood lights even in the bath room. The shower was one of the best I've had and the hot water comes on right away, with excellent pressure. The health club is well situated in the... more

My wife and I spent 3 wonderful days at the Pen Chicago. It was our anniversary so we received a double upgrade (one for Amex FH&R and one for the anniversary). We booked a junior suite so we ended up in a deluxe suite. The room was very fresh and new looking. The furniture was in excellent condition, electronics were... more

Stayed here for two nights while visiting friends who live down the street. I had grown up having tea at the Peninsula in Hong Kong and wanted to check out a Peninsula in the States. It was really just awesome. Our room was in a lovely yellow and cream decor on the 16th floor. We had a standard room so... more

Everything about this hotel is lovely without being obnoxiously so (well, ok, sending up a bellhop in an all white sailor suit with white gloves to deliver a grimy fedex package was farily silly but I'll overlook that). Had the most relaxing two day hotel stay and I'll def stay here aging if only for the assurance that a pair... more

I stayed at The Peninsula for three nights in August. The room was on the 15th floor, somewhat near the elevator, but wonderfully quiet and luxurious. The staff were exceedingly polite, but forgot to retrieve the room service cart, sometimes for hours. Having to take two elevators to get to my room was a bit of a hassle as well.... more

This hotel is completely over-rated. The staff was mediocre, the rooms had an odd odor. I've stayed at much nicer, actual 5 star hotels. This was not one of them. Maybe it works for Chicago, but I'd rather stay at the Four Seasons, Ritz, or the Park Hyatt. Really, don't believe the hype. more

Amid comments of, why are you going to Chicago in March?, I planned a short trip and booked a room at the Peninsula. My wife and I were accompanied by our two children . Our son is aged 5 and and our daughter is aged 18 months. We had never been to the Peninsula before, but its reputation convinced me... more
