We have a corporate rate with this hotel and I can't be happier. It's an ideal location to our office (3 blocks away) and it's got great decor. Everything feels like its brand new yet looks antique. The huge windows afford a great look of the area outside and checking in and checking out is extremely easy and painless. The staff here is always trying to make my stay better than the previous one, which is great. Checking in at most other hotels is about as exciting as going to a bank and you get treated like a chore.

There is construction going on across the street at a 24-hour pace. Surprisingly, it has yet to disturb me or disrupt my sleep.

The Kimpton Hotel Group runs this place. If you're not familiar with them, get to know them. All their properties are very nice and Hotel Burnham is no exception.

It's a great renovation of a classic downtown Chicago office building. It's incredibly charming and doesn't fit your normal Marriott/Hilton/Hyatt property mold.

Staff is great, rooms and nicely decorated and very comfortable.

Location is definitely the best. You're across the street from Marshall Fields (Macy's) and a 1 block walk from a major "El" stop where you can catch any of the trains. Beyond that you have all the shopping on State St and an easy walk to Michigan Ave.

The only downer, hardwired internet only (no wireless) and it's pretty slow. Faster than dial-up but not by much. And that was the case during my entire week stay.

Other than that, book it!

My significant other and I stayed here this past weekend and had a wonderful visit.

The rooms have tasteful decorations and adequate room to move about and stow luggage. The service / concierge offered appropriate helpful dining suggestions and walking directions. The rooms were immaculate and the turndown service is a nice touch.

Hotel Burnham, in some ways is a destination in itself. Definitely recommended.

I have just come back from a 5 night stay at the Burnham and can only say positive things. I booked a double double deluxe room for myself and friend and altho' the room was compact (a bit short on space for all our clothes!), the room was very clean and comfortable with excellent bedding. The 'turn over' service and the addition of classical music awaiting our arrival back after a hard day's sightseeing was a nice touch too. All the staff were helpful and welcoming and I would recommend the Burnham ONCE the construction work over the road is completed. The only downside of our stay was that it was noisy even through the night. If the other Kimpton hotels are of this standard in Chicago I would definately book with them again.
