We got a Super deal from hotwire, at first I was concerned because of the other reviews on tripadvisor, but it was a great stay. The location of the Drake is awesome if you are coming for shopping and to see the North Shore. It is a little ways from downtown, a few blocks from the red line. The first... more

Definitely a Chicago classic with arguably one of the best locations in the city. We came in for a wedding, rates were still about $250 a night with group discount. I hadn't been here since my H.S. Prom in 1990. The lobby and common areas are still elegant, and classic. Staff is efficient and professional. Room was really dirty, dumpy,... more

Given The Drake's reputation and having read some reviews on this site, we were unsure whether we should be excited or not. We were bowled over with the quality of the hotel, the helpful staff and the tastefully decorated room. We have stayed in many places in many countries and would rate The Drake as one of the best hotel... more

I was so excited when i knew that our bid landed on The Drake. My expectations went through the roof given its reputation. When we first arrived, I was impressed with the nice lobby and grande ambiance in the lounge. But once we stepped inside the rooms, our feelings turned into disappointment. The room was very small.

My husband and I dined in their cocktail room, Coq d'Or. Beware of the bar tender, he will slip in more drinks in the check without you noticed and the manager just think you are an idiot and lied to your face. more

I am a suburban Chicago resident and had a last minute invite to a conference at the Drake. Since we were meeting for early breakfast, we decided to come down the afternoon before and live it up a bit. The hotel did not dissappoint, but i was upgraded upon arrival to the 6th floor. Our room was very nice in... more

This hotel is fantastic! Close to everything, beautiful. Attentive staff. Rooms well appointed, and prices very reasonable. more

My first trip to the Drake was 32 years ago when a college friend and her boyfriend picked me up in his Rolls and took me to the Drake for Sunday brunch. I was wowed then and I told myself that some day I would stay at the Drake. I have made many trips to Chicago over the past 32... more
