I was visiting Chicago for the first time and had heard so much about the Drake hotel. I told my boyfriend that I had wanted to stay there so he surprised me and booked us a room there. I must say the service was excellent. The check in went very quickly and smoothly. The staff was very helpful and considerate.... more

What a gorgeous hotel! We love places with a story & try to stay at member hotels of the Historic Hotels of America. The Drake lives up to its reputation. From the building itself, the linens, the service, to the couch in the elevator, everything was beautiful. The hotel thankfully was up to our cleanliness standards. We've found sometimes the... more

Recently stayed at the Drake in Chicago while attending a conference. the staff from top to bottom was polite, cheerful and attentive to our needs. The room was well appointed and maintained, quiet and comfortable. The in house restaurants are pricey but comparable to others in the area. The combination of a delightful staff with this grand dame hotel made... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Drake Hotel. The facility is in impeccable condition, and the service is top notch. We both agreed that the bed was the most comfortable we had ever slept in! As a suggestion, park in the Drake Tower Garage to the East of the main entrance for $30/night. more

The Drake Hotel did not disappoint! We felt like home from check-in through check-out. The staff is extremely pleasant, friendly and helpful. We got a Junior Suite with a Lake view. The room was huge, well appointed and well maintained. The bathroom was really nice as well. The room was cleaned twice a day but we were never disturbed. The... more

I stayed at the Drake last week for a conference. I went there with certain expectations, as I had stayed at a modern near-by property a few weeks earlier. Although I had confirmed by Hilton preferences in advance, the first room they tried to stick me in was on a low floor. The second room was a smoking room that... more

My mother and I booked a 2 night stay at The Drake. What can I say? First off, the hotel is right off of Lake Shore Drive, conveniently off of I-55, Michigan Ave. is just blocks away, close to a wide variety of shopping and restaurants, (We ate at Mike Ditka's place only 7-8 blocks away. Wonderful food!) The check-in... more

This is one historical hotel and a great place to stay if you want to be in the Miracle Mile. The Drake is a Chicago landmark. Our room was a handicap access room and nicely appointed (our room was on floor 1 and had two bathrooms with a large living area). This is an older property, so keep that in... more

I attended a conference at The Drake and reserved my room several months prior. The hotel is beautiful but I requested a non smoking room and guaranteed my late arrival. When I got there at midnight (! travel delays) I was told there were only smoking rooms available--nothing else. I was assured I would be moved first thing in the... more
