This hotel was wonderful and of course I'd stay there again. The rooms are well appointed and the little details that the staff left were wonderful and unexpected. The bows around my power cords and slippers by my bed were unexpected and thoughtful. The bed was very comfortable and big fluffy pillows too! I liked the dressing area that was... More

Despite our room not being ready when we arrived at check-in, the rest of our stay more than made up for the minor inconvenience. The rooms are immaculate, decorated tastefully and loaded with all of the tech. accessories you normally do without at other hotels. The dining area in the lobby is a grand room with enormous windows overlooking Michigan... More

We loved our few days at the Peninsula. Special details and amazing service were the hallmarks. Our room had an excellent view; at first I was concerned about street noise, but this was unfounded. The cleaning was exceptional with little bows tied around all charger cords. Great hotel bar too!

Wow! What an experience! I feel like a judge who has rated the contestants and used 5 on several...then all of a sudden someone does an over the top performance and all I have is a 5 when their performance was definitely a 6. This is the way I feel about this hotel. I have given several hotels a 5... More

Birthday trip to Chicago! Yay! The Peninsula was my hands down pick. I love this hotel, the service is perfect, the location great and if you do a bit of searching on the website you can find a deal. We chose the Midwestern Retreat at The Peninsula. Daily continental breakfast for two daily complimentary parking, our room was upgraded, a... More

Great location within walking distance of Michigan Avenue shopping, Field museum, Millenium park, and numerous fine restaurants, etc. Pricey, but the room and service were outstanding in both luxury and comfort - well worth the money. Didn't use the spa, but will have something to look forward to on the next visit.

This hotel experience was such a disappointment. I was very excited to meet up with girlfriends from college for a fun weekend in Chicago. We had booked the hotel well in advance, paying a premium rate, but based on reviews assumed it would be well worth the extra money. We also considered Trump, Four Seasons and Ritz where each of...

If you want it all - service, comfort, class, location, choose the Peninsula Hotel in Downtown Chicago. Restaurants are wonderful. Staff helpful. Rooms have great beds and comforts you wouldn't have thought of. Furnishings are class, class, class. Quiet. Can walk everywhere. Unfortunately seating in outdoor roof restaurant and near pool was very very limited.

Travelling for a living makes you appreciate the little things that the staff at the Peninsula do to make you comfortable and the things others forget. Luxury, comfort and style. I will definitely return.

Seriously this is the best hotel ever. Check with your employer to see if you can get a corporate discount or search online for the best rates, but even if you do pay more you won't be upset. The service is terrific, the rooms spacious, and just overall the best hotel EVER! Check out the fitness room and the exercise... More
