I have been wary of boutique hotels in the past because sometimes I think they put the "pretense of looking cool" over service or substance. The Hard Rock Chicago, however, is a really solid boutique hotel. There is of course a rock and roll theme but it is not pervasive all over the hotel (i.e. its not cheesy)- there is... more

Hard Rock Chicago was just ok. The location (right on Michigan) is steps away from Wacker Drive, river tours, the loop, etc. We really enjoyed the proximity to everything. However, the concierge was not all that helpul. We had to request a refrigerator three times before they finally delivered it. Also, when I asked about an I-Pod docking station, they... more

Stayed at this hotel with two girlfriends - they were in a queen hard rock room, which was really cool with a hallway and a big glass shower. I got the corner suite, which was awesome! There was a squarish modern-looking couch and a big TV, and really great views. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever... more

We loved the modern elegance and simplicity of our room complimented by rock and roll art and artifacts. The service was excellent and the ambiance of the lobby coupled with a nightcap in the lounge made for an excellent end to a perfect long weekend in Chicago. I highly recommend this hotel. more

We were really excited to stay at this hotel for my sister's thirtieth birthday. The pictures looked swank and we paid $200 extra for a view of the city. First of all, the view we were upgraded to was definitely not representative of what we saw on the website, so I would not recommend upgrading over the phone. Make sure... more

I really enjoyed my stay at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago. The facilities were clean and elegant and the view of Michigan Avenue from our room added to the ambiance. The trendy lobby bar was a good place to relax, and the service at the desk was polite and timely. The highlight of the stay for me was the... more

Just spent three nights at the Hard Rock Hotel at the end of June 08. This is a nice hotel with a great location. You are within five blocks of the major subway stations and a few blocks to the art museum. We easily caught trains to Wrigley Field and the Loop. We even took the train to Ohare when... more

This hotel is great!! Love the outside. Love the inside! We got a corner room(room 1501) which had a fantastic view! So many windows! We could see right down Michigan Ave. The room was huge! Nice comfy beds, 2 chairs, a desk, a mini bar, closet storage, and cd player. Our bathroom was huge, too with a stand up shower.... more
