The hype
Travelers adore the spacious rooms and central location but are divided on the noise levels.
Silversmith Hotel Chicago Downtown
$150-250/ noapte
Rezervă dacă You want a spacious, historic Art Deco hideaway in the absolute center of the Loop, and you prioritize high ceilings over silence.
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- Unbeatable Loop location steps from Millennium Park and the Art Institute
- Soaring 12-foot ceilings that make even standard rooms feel massive
- Hidden gem vibe tucked away in the historic Jewelers Row District
Privire rapidă: A beautiful architectural time capsule that unfortunately shares its address with the screeching 'El' train.
Evaluat de @thehonestpassport: My husband and I needed a Chicago escape, and this suite at the Silversmith was perfect. We loved the Adamus Lounge cocktails downstairs, and being just steps from Millennium Park made sightseeing so easy. The romance package with the game box was such a fun surprise!

- You love historic architecture and 19th-century Art Deco charm
- You need to be within walking distance of the Art Institute and theaters
- You appreciate a boutique feel over a generic mega-chain atmosphere

5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci
💡The lobby is on the second floor, not street level.
💡The elevators require a key card, adding a nice layer of security.
💡Some 'views' are just the brick wall of the building next door (which is quieter!).
💡The hallways can feel a bit dark due to the historic lighting style.
💡The 'Pure Wellness' rooms actually have medical-grade air purifiers.
