    I spent here 1 great day and will come back. The property was glamorous with absolutely kind staff who really understand customer service, I loved the stay. Fantastic central location near to all the wonderful restaurants as well as all downtown locations including Rush Street and Hancock Tower. King room I stayed at was unique with a view other than the hvac.

    magical decor
    charming ambiance
    delicious food
    poor soundproofing

    Staying at the Drake with my family was a wonderful experience! The Christmas decor added a magical touch, and we particularly enjoyed exploring the trendy shops along Michigan Avenue. Dining at Coq d'Or was a highlight with its charming ambiance and delicious food.

    My kids wished the room had better soundproofing from the hallway.

    The hotel offers updated rooms with a soda, overlooking Michigan Avenue, random selection. The breakfast options are delicious and satisfactory with good varieties and custom omelettes, for example.

    The manager on staff for saturday and Sunday 9/4-9/5 was very personable and went the extra mile to meet our needs. The entire staff provided quality service.

    The room had a musty odor and the bed was uncomfortable. Onsite parking is very expensive. No free wifi available.

    We loved the old world charm of this landmark hotel and if there is a better Chicago location I can't imagine where that would be. The staff were very helpful and most courteous at all times. Thanks Drake staff for a wonderful weekend!
