I stayed in this historic hotel from 8-11 sept. (3 nights) by myself, booked at Expedia. It's located in the Gold Coast district of the city just a little north of the Magnificent Mile. This area is quieter than the River North district and the Loop area, because of the Old Money that there used to be (or in fact... more

My wife and I spent our 3rd wedding anniversary at The Ambassador East. Our arrival and check in Friday went flawless. Everyone was helpful and curteous. We upgraded to a suite (for $69.00/night) and the suite was "nice" -- I've stayed in nicer. When I made the reservations I told them it was going to be our anniversary and when... more

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights Sept 8, 9 and 10th. Before we even came to Chicago, I had correspondence through e-mail with the concierge of the hotel and the head of reservations. I got this hotel through Priceline for $70/night, so I asked the head of reservations for certain things. I asked for a room on a higher... more

This is a great location. Everyone is exceedingly pleasant. The rooms need an updated TV, new carpeting, drapes and bathroom tile. The beds were comfortable and the rooms quiet. It likely would meet your needs. But, you hate to see a great older hotel showing its age. more

I stayed at the Ambassador East for 3 nights before joining my parents at the Intercontinental when they arrived in Chicago. I can honestly say that I just looked for somewhere cheap to stay to do this, rather than on service, quality etc. I was hugely surprised then when arriving at the Ambassador to find such a beautiful hotel, wonderful... more

This is a beautiful historic hotel, older but well kept and clean. Service is an art form here. We were treated with 4-star service everywhere in the hotel. So there are a few things that need updating (chipped bathtubs, ripped curtains) but who cares! There are so many options right outside the door that if you spend that much time... more

The service at the Ambassador East from absolutely all staff was top notch - without exaggeration the best we have experienced at any five star hotel in all of North America. Although the hotel may be attracting less "moneyed" guests with their specials, all guests are treated to high class service. At our request, we were upgraded to a wonderful... more

This is a beautiful historic hotel, older but well kept and clean. So there are chipped bathtubs, who cares. It was clean with great service and excellent location in a quiet residential street 2 blocks from restaurants, train, beach and short distance from downtown and Navy Pier (the fireworks can be seen from the end of the block of the... more

I recently had a bachelorette party at the Ambassador East in one of the large suites with balcony and adjoining room, and the rooms were just PERFECT! We had plenty of space to hang out, and we utilized the balcony for games and goofing off! The girls and I all had more than enough beds to sleep on, and the... more
