My family and I visited Chicago over Spring Break. We spent the first 5 nights at another hotel on Michigan Ave. After deciding to stay an extra night (so much to see and do!), we walked into the Intercontinental. Great decision! The staff was friendly and helpful. We were given two adjoining rooms on a high floor...what a view! We... More

Perfect location for business or shopping. Service was excellent throughout with genuine smiles from all the staff. Stayed for 4 nights and have only 1 complaint - $17.50 for a nights wifi access. If these hotels do actually incur any costs in providing wifi then include it in the rates, seems to be an easy way to rip customers off... More

We stayed at the InterContinental for an anniversary weekend away & LOVED it! We arrived a few hours ahead of checki-in but Patrick was able to check us right into our room, even gave us a room with a King bed instead of the double they had us in originally. Every one of the staff we met was very friendly... More

Loved my stay at the Intercontinental Chicago: The room in the historic tower was wonderful, the history of the building is intriguing, and the location is hard to beat. What really stood out was the customer service ... always smiling, always friendly, always helpful. Very impressed. More

When ask for a room change, the FD responded that those are the standard double beds. We have stay in dozens of hotels in the USA and Europe. Never a... More

We stayed at this hotel initially because we used hotwire, and this is the hotel it gave us. We loved the experience over all. The location is amazing located right on Michigan street, and a very short walk to State street. The room was very nice and clean, with a very nice lcd tv. The pool is absolutely incredible, and...

The elevator threshold was my first indication that maintenance might be a problem. At the Four Seasons the thresholds are clean and polished. These are pitted, rusted and dirty. Exiting the elevator I notices the worn and dirty carpet. Oh, oh I started to think. The carpet on the 16th floor at a minimum needs a good cleaning but really... More

Great location on the Magnificent Mile along Michigan Ave. Rooms were clean with plenty of space, and the staff was especially kind and helpful. Starbucks conveniently located in the lobby with free Wi-fi. The hotel charges $14/day for wi-fi. More
