If you're searching for a fine hotel in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago, don't look further than the Belden Stratford. The price of a night's stay was more than repaid by the hotel's proximity to Lake Michigan, The Lincoln Park Zoo, and Lake Shore Dr (affording quick access to Shedd Aquarium, the museum, Soldier Field, etc.) As other reviews... more

We arrived at the Belden and were very pleased. It looked very nice like it did in the pictures. We tried checking in at about 1:00pm-because our flight arrived into town at 12-and were told our room wasn't ready. We weren't real please but it's understandable. We left our bags there and came back at 3:30. At this point there... more

We had a big family event in Chicago, with people coming from all over the country. My wife booked two suites and two regular rooms three months before the event and paid for the rooms in advance. When we arrived at the hotel, the receptionist told us there were no rooms available and we would have to wait for the... more

My husband and I have stayed here many times because it is in close proximity to things we need to do in Chicago, and the price is right. I enjoy staying in a neighborhood-style hotel away from the downtown area. But, I would have to agree with many of the things I have read in the other reviews. Our experience... more

When we decided to try a new hotel in Chicago, I was a little worried. I have always stayed at the same hotel because I knew what to expect. I can't begin to describe how wonderfully surprised we were when we pulled up to The Belden-Stratford. The hotel is gorgeous. And the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I have... more

After booking three nights at the Belden-Stratford, my wife and I found several bad reviews of the hotel online that made us question our sensibility in staying there. We kept our reservation, however, and were extremely happy with the hotel. Many reviews claim disinterested staff and out-of-date rooms; we experienced the complete opposite. Our room (a suite) overlooking the Lincoln... more

We stayed in a "Presidential Suite" for one night. First the good news: the lobby is lovely, and the restaurant (in the Lettuce Entertain you chain) Mon Ami Gabi, is quite good - nice menu, waitstaff and children's menu, pretty Parisian decor. The location is superb to enjoy the Lincoln Park Zoo or walk to some shops. Our room on... more

These are not hotel rooms, but spacious apartments. Ours was a one bedroom (two double beds), one and a half baths, large living room, dining room, kitchen, multiple closets including a huge walk-in off the bedroom. Beautifully furnished. Lovely view overlooking Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan. A short cab ride to all Chicago attractions and shopping; cabs readily available outside... more

Our son's wedding reception was being held at Cafe Brauer at the Lincoln Park Zoo and so we decided to stay at the Belden-Stratford, which is directly across the street from the zoo. We found the bellmen and doormen extremely friendly, however, the main desk staff (all shifts) were very unfriendly and at times, rude. The night of our son's... more

5/5 found this review helpful

The Hotel is in a great location and has a nice lobby. That’s about it. The rooms are very tired and really felt more like a motel then a hotel. Everything inside the room was dated and many things were broken. Worst of all the room was just not very clean. About 10% of the staff were cheerful and helpful.... more
