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

Przejrzane przez @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

FAQ i ukryte porady

Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.

Is there a pool?

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

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.

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.
