My second stay at The James in the last year for a conference, and enjoyed my stay again. The staff is extremely friendly; accomodations minimalist yet comfortable. The Keihl's bath products are plentiful and a definite plus! The food is very good, wait staff in the hip bar/restaurant area are attentive and overall, this is a great place to stay. more

The James is a beautiful, contemporary, boutique hotel that is in a great location. All of the service; door, reception, maintenance and housekeeping; were fantastic. They have issues with the plumbing and the bathroom doors. Also there is a very large, plastic window shade that gets too hot in the afternoon sun and makes the entire room smell like burning... more

Very cool, modern hotel in a nice location. You have to walk through the bar at the end of the day and it can get techno loud and crowded with bar patrons. The room had nice amenities and was quiet, as requested. Had some technical issues with their computers and had difficulty getting assistance. During a rainy summer downpour, they... more

The James Hotel exceeded my expectations. From the moment the bellman welcomed me to the hotel, I felt like I was part of a the super chic, trendy and upscale James family. The attention to detail is spectacular. The king room was ultra cool and spacious with an abundance of feather pillows and great bedding to boot. The bathroom was... more

The rooms are CLEAN, spacious, and well-appointed. The bathroom is really nice, with a tub/shower combo and... more

Excellent location. Right in the thick of Chicago. Near Michigan, Rush, walkable to almost everything. Train station nearby, great shopping, Starbucks and Trader Joe's across the street. Over the top service from conceirge, bellmen, room service. Everyone was so nice! Hip decor in rooms - cool media pit. Comfy beds, nice bathrooms, this hotel has it all! more

I searched everywhere to find a hotel that would have everything I was looking for: a little luxury, clean and modern, close to public transportation and all of the sites for a good value. I found it with The James. The hotel is only 2 blocks from the Red Line, and just enough off Michigan Ave where you were close... more

I, along with four other girls, hosted a bachelorette party at a gorgeous little suite in the James Hotel. Prior to leaving for a night on the town, we had 20 people over for drinks and appetizers. Not only was the hotel in a great location and our suite was spacious and cute, but The James Hotel had the most... more

I live in the far west suburbs and had a number of friends in from out of town for our annual get together. We had 4 rooms at the James including a suite. To a person, we found the hotel to be excellent. The staff was very responsive to anything we needed, service was cheerful, the rooms were nice, and... more
