The hype
Guests rave about the spacious rooms, incredibly comfortable beds, and breathtaking views, but frequently complain about the expensive parking and extra fees.
Swissotel Chicago
$115-$275/ nuit
Réservez si You want stunning views of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan from a central location near the Riverwalk, without paying ultra-luxury prices.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Stunning panoramic views of the river and lake
- Extremely comfortable beds that feel like sleeping on a cloud
- Prime location near the Riverwalk and Magnificent Mile
En bref : The views and location are spectacular, but you'll be nickel-and-dimed with a mandatory resort fee, expensive parking, and no pool despite what older photos show.
Évalué par @_bellabliss: My stay at the Swissotel in downtown Chicago was top-tier. The room was incredibly spacious for my group of three, and the unobstructed city views were unreal. I loved the strict elevator security, the amazing food, and working remotely from the rooftop Vitality Lounge.
