My teenage sister and I stayed at The Blackstone during American Idol auditions. It was an incredibly convenient location with in & out parking privileges which allowed us to go back and forth between the auditions with no problem. It was just across the street (a short 2 minute walk) from Lake Michigan. On the interior of the hotel the... more

We stayed at the Blackstone for 3 nights in August. Overall, we were pleased with the accomodations. The room was quite spacious, the beds were very comfortable and the staff members were helpful. We picked this hotel because it had been recently renovated and they did a wonderful job with it. It's not too big a hotel either which i... more

I travel for work (and sometimes leisure) often. I try to stay in a new place each time until I find my favorite hotel in each city. I have to say that the I've stayed in a number of Chicago hotels & I can definitely say that the Blackstone is hands down, my favorite. Here's what I like about the... more

I have to say this is one of the better hotels we have stayed in in awile. I am started to think custoner service and proper cleaning was a thing of the past but the Blackstone met all of my expectations. We reserved a King size room so we had no problem like the previous posters with bed size. The... more

My wife and kids and I had a very disappointing experience at the Blackstone this past weekend. I had booked two rooms for two nights at the Blackstone 6 months ago for Lollapalooza this year, and it turned out to be a very poor choice. When I had tried to book the rooms on the Blackstone's website, it would only... more

We stayed at the Blackstone over Memorial Day weekend and it was a really perfect stay. Beautiful property in a great location. The bathroom was gorgeous and the bed super comfy. The room was compact but had just about everything you'd need, though no mini-fridge. The biggest con is the exhorbitant parking rate, but I s'pose that's to be expected... more

The Blackstone has to be one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at, period, end of story. From the extremely comfortable feather beds, to excellent customer service, to turn down service with chocolates, no detail is overlooked at the Blackstone. The staff is very friendly and helpful; the hotel is as clean as any hotel I have ever... more

Hotel staff went out of thier way to take care of our room no matter what the request. Maids were excellent. Houskeeping very well organized. Check in was fast. Sodas available in lobby for purchase. Valet Parking is expensive, but there are much cheaper lots all around the hotel. I usually see lots of things that need to be fixed... more

I stayed at the Blackstone for two nights while attending a conference at the mammoth Hilton next door. The Blackstone is a lovely hotel - a much nicer place to stay than the impersonal, rather tired Hilton. The welcoming, helpful staff really set the Blackstone apart. From the bell staff who rush to help you with your bags or hail... more
