My wife and I recently stayed here for two nights as the base for our first real vacation in some time. I booked our room on Priceline.com ($129), and we were given a nicely renovated room on the 7th floor (703), albeit with a fire escape/city view down to N. Michigan Ave. below. The room itself, however, was quite large... more

This place does not dissapoint, upgraded to a room with a view of the lake - amazing... Seems like there has been some refurbishment since the last time I was here... All and all - great! more

The Drake is a elegant hotel that you better bring your money too. The room we had was nice and elegant. We avoided the snacks and the mini bar since who can afford any of that. We never did eat at the Hotel since it was too price and not worth the value with so many restaurants near by. The... more

The hotel was nice and very elegant. We booked a room on priceline and when we got there they had no standard rooms with two beds (even though we requested) so we had to upgrade.

When we arrived early after our flight, we were allowed to check in early, but... more

We stayed at The Drake for our 5 year wedding anniversary in August 2009. The hotel is located just north of The John Hancock building on Michigan Avenue. The hotel is very grand and charming. They recently went through an extensive remodeling project and everything looks great. They even upgraded our room because of our anniversary. Our room was perfect... more

Gracious, lovely semi-restored grand hotel in a spectacular location near where Michigan Ave becomes Lake Shore Dr. Lobby is elegant, Elevators are fast but small, and there is no indicating light to indicate which of the 6 has arrived at one's floor, until the door opens. My guest room door did not properly close and I had to pull or... more
