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 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.
