The hype
Guests love the historic charm, the prime South Loop location, and the friendly staff, but warn about the nickel-and-diming.

Смело бронируйте, если You want a historic, art-forward stay right across from Grant Park with easy access to museums and a killer on-site tapas bar.
Почему людям нравится
- Stunning views of Lake Michigan and Grant Park from east-facing rooms
- Beautifully preserved 1910 Beaux-Arts architecture mixed with modern art

Краткий обзор: It's a gorgeous historic property, but the $72 daily parking and $29 nightly destination fee will quickly inflate your bill, and the street noise on lower floors is no joke.
Подтверждено @curatedtravelbyem: My stay at The Blackstone was like stepping into a time machine. Hanging out in the grand lobby where Al Capone used to roam was surreal. I highly recommend requesting a high-floor room—falling asleep to that glowing Chicago skyline was the highlight of my trip.
