The hype
Travelers adore the spacious rooms and central location but are divided on the noise levels.
Silversmith Hotel Chicago Downtown
$150-250/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a spacious, historic Art Deco hideaway in the absolute center of the Loop, and you prioritize high ceilings over silence.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- 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
Resumen rápido: A beautiful architectural time capsule that unfortunately shares its address with the screeching 'El' train.
Reseñado por @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!
