The hype
Travelers adore the location and the rooftop vibe, but many feel the service doesn't always match the 'Luxury Collection' price tag.
The Gwen, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Michigan Avenue Chicago
$250-450/ 晚
如果以下情況適用，請預訂 You want Art Deco glamour attached to a mall so you never have to brave the Chicago winter.
為什麼人們喜歡它
- 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
快速概覽： A gorgeous hard product that sometimes feels like a really nice Westin in a tuxedo.
由 @worldviewsandwonderlust 評論: 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.

“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.”
常見問題與隱藏小貼士
預訂前您真正想知道的一切。
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.

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.
