My 16 year old daughter and I were on a 2 day layover, from traveling to The University of Notre Dame, and I searched the internet, looking for locations near "The Drake" Hotel. The Millennium Knickerbocker is a "gem" in the precious city of Chicago. The rooms are clean, modern, good lighting, great and comfortable bed, very contemporary bathroom, flat screen TV, coffee/tea in room, and very pleasant and courteous staff. I received an anticipatory email before our arrival and the concierge had everything ready for me when I arrived that I had requested. The emails were returned in 24 hours with each correspondence. I also was treated like royalty when I was checking out and needed to take a cab to O'Hare, and asked the bell men to get me a responsible and mature cab driver that would not be a maniac driving us to the airport and they did this expeditiously to the point that I was happy to tip each of the men involved. Restaurants are close by as are shopping and jogging along the Lake. It is 1 block from The John Hancock Building and across from The Drake and Spiaggia, my favorite restaurant in Chicago. We are going back in 2 weeks for the 4th of July and I am so happy to have found The Millennium Knickerbocker.
