Cleo and Leo, the resident robots that deliver room service and shimmy for 5-star reviews
The Albert restaurant's stunning library aesthetic with 12,000 books and glass 'infusaries'
Unbeatable Streeterville location steps from Michigan Avenue shopping and Northwestern Hospital
クイックテイク: A visually clever art-meets-science concept that can't quite engineer away the ambulance sirens from the nearby ER.
@sowheresnate によるレビュー: I stayed here for a weekend trip and was obsessed with the science theme. The glass shower is wild—definitely for couples or solo trips! The gramophone speaker on the desk actually works, which was such a fun surprise. It’s moody, stylish, and totally unique.

The hype
Guests adore the quirky science theme and friendly staff, but often mention the rooms feel tight.
Reality check
The 'city views' are often just views of the building next door unless you are on a very high floor.
You are a tech/science geek who appreciates a hotel with a distinct personality
You are traveling solo or as a couple and don't mind an intimate room layout
You need to be close to Northwestern Hospital or the Mag Mile
清潔さと保守管理
8.5
Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests report missed dust on the dark furniture.
Bathroom hygiene: The glass showers are kept sparkling—critical since they are the centerpiece of the room.
Maintenance: Modern and well-kept, though the high-tech features (automated curtains, lights) occasionally glitch.
Linens & towels: Crisp, high-quality linens. Towels are standard Marriott Autograph quality—plush enough.
Odors & scents: Lobby has a signature fresh scent; rooms are generally neutral but can smell musty if the AC filters aren't fresh.

知っておくと良いこと
Valet parking is steep (~$65/night); use SpotHero to find a garage on Ontario St for half the price
The 'destination fee' status fluctuates; check your booking summary carefully for a ~$25 daily charge
Breakfast at The Albert is excellent but pricey ($20-40); grab coffee at Cupitol nearby for a cheaper start
持ち物
Earplugs (non-negotiable due to sirens)
A white noise machine if you are a light sleeper
A swimsuit if you plan to visit the nearby Ohio Street Beach (seasonal)

“I would love a high-floor room (15+) away from the elevators to minimize street noise. If available, a corner room with a city view would be fantastic.”
FAQ と隠された便利な使い方
ご予約前に本当に知りたいことすべて
Do the robots actually work?
Yes! You can text the front desk to have Cleo or Leo deliver water, towels, or snacks. They even do a little dance before leaving.
Is the glass shower really see-through?
It's a glass cylinder in the middle of the room. There is a curtain you can pull around it, but it's still very intimate.
How bad is the noise?
It's significant. You are blocks away from a major trauma center. If you need silence, this is not the hotel for you.
Is there a pool?
No, there is no pool on-site. There is a 24-hour fitness center.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, dogs are welcome for a non-refundable fee of ~$125 per stay. They get a bed and bowls.
What is the check-in/out time?
Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 12:00 PM.
インサイダー情報
✨
Spin the antique zoetrope in the lobby—it's a working animation device from the 19th century.
✨
Ask the robots for a 'Bot Shot' (if available) or just a toothbrush to see them in action.
✨
The 'Archive Lounge' on the second floor is a quiet spot to work if the lobby is busy.
行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと
💡The 'infusary' in The Albert isn't just decor; they actually use it to infuse vodkas and gins for cocktails.
💡The elevators are named R, G, and B (Red, Green, Blue) as a nod to the color spectrum.
💡There is no dedicated concierge desk; the front desk handles everything, which can lead to lines.
💡The bathroom sinks are located in the main room area, not inside the toilet closet.
💡You can stream your own content to the TV, but the system can be glitchy with some Android devices.
