The Hotel: I was there for a 4-night stay which qualified me for an upgraded corner room overlooking Michigan Avenue and Grant Park on the 17th floor, plus a $50 voucher for room service or the onsite restaurant. Those were very nice perks. As for service, they loaned my friend and I umbrellas for walking around downtown and were. The... more

Was in Chicago for a long weekend and loved this hotel. Would definitely return. The rooms were spotless and nicely renovated it was contemporary with the charm of an older hotel. The staff was awesome they upgraded us to lakeview free of charge since rooms were available. We got a good deal on the room and would definitely recommend this... more

Along with a hoard of other kind folks, I stayed here for the U2 shows at Soldier Field. I can't think of anything to complain about! Everything was amazingly well done by a professional & courteous staff. The restoration is beautiful, and the employees are proud of their property (deservedly so!). ah, I thought of something to complain about: The... more

My husband and I stayed at the Renaissance Blackstone Fri-Sun of Labor Day weekend for Jazz Fest. We had stayed at the hotel the year before for the same reason, and we will come again. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the location is perfect. Their staff needs to work on a few things to be more attentive to... more

We were in town from waukegan for the U2 concert the rooms and service were definitely superior to hotels ive visited in Peoria and the Washington DC areas it was just awesome!!!!! more

The reception was terrible, the valet - that's why service is not a part of their title, the bees, not the best addition in a room with an infant. We stayed there almost a week when my wife was at a training at the Hilton. I am a Marriot Rewards member, but surely that did not do much in their... more

We stayed at the Blackstone in early August to go to the Lollapalooza Music Festival and to visit area colleges. We were really blown away by all aspects of the hotel (except for reservations but I will get to that later). The service in the hotel was really topnotch and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Room service went... more

My wife and I were celebrating our 22nd Wedding Anniversary and decided on The Blackstone Hotel on Michigan Ave. in Chicago. Before our stay we were contacted via email with a personal note regarding our arrival. This was a very nice touch. I informed them of our anniversary and when we arrived at our room we had been upgraded to... more

This historic building is absolutely beautiful. Don't let the age put you off -- the rooms have been updated and provide a perfect guest stay. Ours faced Lake Michigan so we could look out over the weekend fireworks at Navy Pier. If you need to be at the Chicago Hilton for an event, skip the Hilton and stay across the... more
