  • No-tipping policy (mostly) makes service feel effortless
  • Huge rooms (starting at 480 sq ft) often feature gas fireplaces and terraces
  • The 'Vi-Spring' mattresses are legendary for sleep quality

Краткий обзор: A stunning chateau-style fortress where the rooms are bigger than most Chicago apartments, but the pool is more 'refreshing' than 'relaxing'.

Подтверждено @Nolimitem29I checked into the Junior Suite and was blown away by the fireplace—it makes the room feel like a luxury apartment. The night views of the Gold Coast are stunning, and the staff spoiled me with macarons. It’s the perfect spot for a cozy, upscale winter weekend.

The hype

Travelers are obsessed with the huge bathrooms and fireplaces, but mixed on the 'no tipping' execution.

Reality check

While the hotel says 'no tips,' the restaurant adds an automatic 18-20% gratuity, which confuses some guests.

  • You crave privacy: the courtyard entrance feels like a fortress
  • You love a long bath: the soaking tubs are massive and standard
  • You want a walkable Gold Coast base near Oak Street shopping

Чистота и уход

9
  • Housekeeping: Twice-daily service is standard and generally flawless. Turndown includes water and slippers.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. Marble is kept polished, grout is white. No mold reports found.
  • Maintenance: Excellent condition, though some guests noted minor wear on carpets in older rooms before the refresh.
  • Linens & towels: Plush, heavy, and crisp. Robes are a highlight — thick and soft.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh flowers and a subtle signature scent. No musty odors reported.

Перед бронированием

Полезно знать

  • The 'no tipping' policy applies to bell staff and housekeeping, but check restaurant checks for auto-gratuity.
  • Spa access (sauna/whirlpool) often requires a treatment booking or Diamond status.
  • Complimentary house car (often a Mercedes or Lexus) drops off within a 2-mile radius — first come, first served.

Что взять с собой

  • Swim cap and goggles (the pool is for laps, not floating)
  • Smart casual dinner wear (Gold Coast is dressy)
  • Walking shoes (you are steps from the Lakefront Trail)

Номера, которых следует избегать

I would love a room on a higher floor (15+) facing the courtyard for maximum quiet. If available, a corner unit with a fireplace would be ideal.

FAQ и советы

Всё, что вы действительно хотели бы знать перед бронированием.

Is the pool warm?

Not really. It's a lap pool kept at a cooler temperature for exercise, often described as 'chilly' by guests.

Does the hotel really have a no-tipping policy?

Yes, for hotel staff (valet, housekeeping, bellman). However, the restaurant Brass Tack adds a service charge automatically.

Is breakfast included?

Not standard, but Hilton Honors Gold/Diamond members get a daily credit (usually ~$25-$50/person) which covers a main dish.

Can I park my own car?

No, it is valet only ($89/night). Self-parking garages are available a block away for half the price.

Are the fireplaces in every room?

Most rooms have them, but not the entry-level 'Superior' rooms. Book a 'Deluxe' or higher to guarantee one.

Is it pet friendly?

Yes, dogs are welcome for a $150 fee. They even provide pet beds and bowls.


Советы инсайдеров

  • The 'house car' can drop you off at dinner, saving you an Uber fare — just ask the concierge early.

  • You can order the famous 'chocolate cake' from the room service menu even late at night.

  • There is a secret 'courtyard' entrance that makes you feel like a VIP avoiding the paparazzi.

5 вещей, которые нужно знать перед поездкой

  • 💡The 'no tipping' policy can feel awkward if you're used to tipping — staff will politely refuse cash.

  • 💡The pool area is surprisingly small and narrow compared to the photos.

  • 💡The in-room Nespresso machines are sometimes 'on request' rather than standard in all rooms.

  • 💡You might hear the 'L' train faintly from certain north-facing high-floor rooms.

  • 💡The lobby bar 'Peacock Lounge' is often very quiet — great for work, bad for a party vibe.
