First things first. The BAC is difficult to find at first. Various previous reviews have mentioned this. We arrived on a Saturday PM (when most of the loop is shut down) and even our transfer shuttle from O'Hare had no idea were the hotel was and basically dumped our bags on the side of the road when they got fed... more

This hotel was not at all what I thought it would be. I do not think it should be rated as a 3 1/2 star. The bed was rickety ane hard and also had no box spring. The bathroom was not as clean as I would have liked there was hair on the floor that was not mine. The furniture... more

I booked on travelocity so I got a really good deal on the room rate. The hotel is overall very nice. It is quiet and isolated and it does have an exclusive feel to it when you check in. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was very pretty. The view from the room was excellent with a combination... more

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
