Peninsula Chicago Review

Peninsula Chicago 
$$$$, Near North
User Rating: ***** 4.6
Fodor's Review:
On weekend nights the Peninsula's soaring lobby lounge becomes a chocolate fantasia, centered on an overflowing chocolate buffet. The hotel, committed to keeping its guests well fed and well rested, is also home to one of the city's most creative restaurants (Avenues) along with a lavish and popular afternoon tea. One of only three branches in the United States of the venerable Hong Kong-based Peninsula chain, its comfortable rooms feature plush pillow-top beds, Wi-Fi, and state-of-the-art bedside consoles that control both the TV and "do not disturb" light. The rooftop lap pool is enclosed in a Zen aerie offering stunning views over the city. Make time to enjoy the property's award-winning spa.

Once In A Lifetime
Posted by bradlg2525 from Monterrey, Mexico on 5/31/07
If you're in Chicago & want a 'once in a lifetime' experience then don't look at the cost and stay at the The Peninsula Chicago. From the room to dinner at Shanghai Terrace to the Spa - it was perfect!RATING: 5.0

Expensive, but worthy it

Yes, it's expensive, but you get: a large and comfortable room with all the amenities, access to a beautiful roof-top pool with an incredible view, and attentive service (maybe even TOO attentive).RATING: 5.0
Treat yourself to a stay at the Pen
Posted by Patricia from Chicago suburbia on 3/31/06
Maybe the best hotel we have ever experienced. We stayed in a standard room, but it was roomy enough for 2 and the sofa was especially welcome. The room and light controls are ahead of any other hotel--the mood lighting is fantastic. Every staff member we came in contact with was efficient, friendly and working to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We ate in the Lobby and Shanghai Terrace and had take-out from Pierro Gourmet--all were excellent. We loved everything about the Peninsula.RATING: 4.8
One of the World's Best Hotels
Posted by Brenda from Phoenix, AZ on 1/31/06
I had a wonderful six day stay in a Grand Luxe King overlooking Michigan Avenue. The room was immaculate, and it had a wonderful bathroom with deep soaking tub and glass enclosed shower. It ate room service three of my five nights at the hotel and it was some of the best food i've had in quite a while. All in all, worth the hefty $590.00 a night rate.RATING: 5.0
Perfection at a price
Posted by David from Virginia on 1/21/06
I have been to the Peninsula over the course of the last two years more than I care to admit. We do love the place. The location is perfect. I even have a room I request each time we go, with a great view overlooking Michigan Ave. The service is outstanding with great attention to every detail. The staff seems to remember you as you come and go, alwqays greeting you with a genuine hello or welcome back. Granted the rooms are not huge ...but that is part of the charm. It is an inviting and warm hotel oozing with luxury. Very efficient staff attend to any request. Our son who is a student at Chicago uses the concierge for reservations even when we are not guests. Definitely a nice and gracious touch. While it is not inexpensive, it has begun to feel like home away from home. So I guess it is worth the extra bucks.RATING: 4.8
