As one would expect, the InterContinental on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago is luxurious. However, unless you book in a deluxe room or suite, expect the rooms to be small, as with many older city hotels. The location is the best and the staff and amenities were very nice. I did not give and "excellent" rating for the rooms, due... More

I just spent ten nights here and, overall, had a good experience. The location is excellent and the building is magnificent, and I have no complaints about the service. For the high price that you are paying however, it was astonishing that a) internet is not free and b) costs at least $15 a day and c) does not work... More

We stayed here in July 2011 for 3 nights. This hotel is in a GREAT location. The room was small and stuffy. The staff was difficult and there was no free wifi. I have experienced more luxury in a Holiday Inn. More

I would say that the hotel was very nice, but nothing really made it stand out. The really cool thing about it was that it offered for free a basic internet service where you can look up places to eat and other basic info around the area and the hotel. I thought that was a nice touch. Also, you are... More

This hotel is right across from Nordstrom on Michigan Ave, so a fabulous location for access to shopping and restaurants. But at $300 a night, I expect a more luxury experience. The decor is dated and the rooms have year 2000 technology: cheap hairdryers attached to the wall, no easy way to plug in phone and laptop chargers, powdered creamer... More

I stayed at the InterContinental Chicago last month for business. The room was spacious and had everything you expect form an InterContinental Hotel. The staff at the front desk, bar, restaurant and concierge were very friendly and helpful. Our company also hosted a luncheon in their banquet space; the room we used was perfect for our needs and the banquet... More

This is really an ideal hotel location, right in the middle of Michigan Avenue. Totally convenient to everything you would want to do downtown! I found that the rooms are quite a bit smaller than comparable hotels in the area. You definitely wouldn't be able to do yoga in the room :) The bathroom in particular is incredibly small. That...

I enjoyed the InterContinental because of it location, friendliness of staff, food during meetings and meals, amenities are nice. With that being said what left a bad taste in my mouth and my colleagues was the poor (not an exaggeration) wireless internet. Premium internet is $17.95 and it was so slow I got very little computer work done unless using... More

A great hotel in a great location. The service was exceptional from start to finish and the concierge team were always happy to help. Great gym and pool, however only the pool is free. 8 of us stayed for 4 nights and were still expected to pay extra for use of the gym! The only other problem was the $17.50... More
