  • Direct indoor access to The Shops at North Bridge (Nordstrom)
  • Rooftop terrace with fire pits and winter curling
  • Stunning 1930s Art Deco façade and interiors

Γρήγορη Ματιά: A gorgeous hard product that sometimes feels like a really nice Westin in a tuxedo.

Αξιολόγηση από @worldviewsandwonderlust: I stayed in the Gwen Lux Suite and honestly, it felt more like a luxury apartment than a hotel. Having that massive private terrace right on Michigan Avenue was a total game-changer for my trip. Absolutely worth the splurge for the space alone.

The hype

Travelers adore the location and the rooftop vibe, but many feel the service doesn't always match the 'Luxury Collection' price tag.

Reality check

Multiple guests note that while the rooms are beautiful, amenities can be sparse—empty mini-fridges and no coffee makers in some base rooms.

  • You are planning a shopping spree on the Magnificent Mile
  • You appreciate Art Deco design and history
  • You want a lively rooftop bar scene right upstairs

Δαίμονας Δωματίου – αντιγραφή & επικόλληση

“I would love a room on a high floor (10+) facing away from the elevators. If available, a room with a view of the architecture rather than the opposing building wall would be appreciated.”

Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές

Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.

Is there a pool?

No, there is no pool at The Gwen. If that's a dealbreaker, look at the InterContinental nearby.

How much is parking?

Valet is steep, around $79-$84 per night. SpotHero is your friend here.

Is it pet friendly?

Yes, but it costs ~$125 per stay plus a daily fee. They do provide dog beds and bowls.

What is the 'Tipsy Tea'?

A boozy high tea served on weekends with cocktails and DJ sets—definitely not your grandma's tea party.

Can I get to the mall from the hotel?

Yes, there is a direct indoor connection to The Shops at North Bridge.

Is breakfast included?

Generally no, unless you have specific Marriott status or booked a package. It's à la carte and pricey.

Εσωτερικές Συμβουλές

  • ✨

    The 'Prohibition Porter' cocktail service brings a bartender to your room.

  • ✨

    Use the $12.50 daily credit for a morning coffee or an evening nightcap; it doesn't roll over.

  • ✨

    Ask for a room with a 'city view' to avoid staring at the beige wall of the InterContinental.

5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε

  • 💡The building was originally the headquarters for McGraw-Hill and features panels by sculptor Gwen Lux.
