I scheduled a business trip into Chicago unknowingly during the Lollapalooza concert weekend, and was not looking forward to the crowds of kids, the noise and inflated prices that normally pair with such an event. I am so happy I found this little gem. The beauty of this hotel is that it is 40 floors above all the negative distractions... more

We checked in around 11:30 pm. Bathroom toiletries were not replenished, and there was no bath mat. When we went to sleep, we took the pillows out of the closet, the cases had been used. They ran out of magnetic passes. We finally got one the morning we were to leave. This created a constant hassle because the hotel is... more

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Buckingham Athletic Club 6/23-6/27/08. The El is directly outside (LaSalle Station on blue line or Van Buren Station on the orange/purple line), the beds comfortable, the rooms spacious and nice, the athletic club was fabulous (great hot tub, lap pool, and service), and the view is spectacular. We could see... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Buckingham. Room was very spacious and clean, we loved the use of the Athletic Club and did not find the transfer of elevators to be a problem. Everyone at the Athletic Club was very friendly and willing to make us feel comfortable. The free continental breakfast at the hotel was just enough for... more

This really was a cracking find. I travelled to Chicago on business from London and for a single girl in her twenties this place couldn't have been better. It's bang in the middle of Chicago's financial district. Don't expect the area to be rocking at the weekend ('though it will be during the week) - it's akin to The City... more

We stayed at the Buckingham Athletic Club Hotel the weekend of June 8-11, 2007. It was a great experience. Located on the 40th floor of One Financial Place, an office building at LaSalle and Van Buren, the hotel was clean, quiet, and a perfect backdrop to a 30th anniversary trip. Although located in the financial district, the Buckingham is serviced... more

We live in the Chicago suburbs, about 40 miles away, and occasionally spend a weekend in the city. This hotel was horrible from start to finish. We arrived at their address on LaSalle on a Sunday late afternoon, and found that there is nothing to indicate that there is a hotel anywhere. It's called "One Financial Center." So it's a... more

After asking for detailed directions from the CTA stop, the trip to the 40th floor went flawless. Using two elevators located 10 feet from each other is certainly not a hardship. The room was huge and clean, the bed was comfortable, the view towards the lake was magnificent. Very convenient to carry only the swipe card to get to the... more

Took the CTA from O'hare to Buckingham Athletic Club. Went across the street directly into the secure building, we took 2 elevators to reach the Hotel. Traveling with family we booked a suite. We contacted the Buckingham Athletic Club to alert them of our late arrival and request 2 twin rollaways placed in advance. Our suite was perfect with the... more
