Description


Location. The Swissotel-Chicago soars 43 stories alongside the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, Ill. This property is located three blocks from Lake Michigan and the Lakefront Running Path. An underground passageway connects the hotel to the urban Illinois Center and Michigan Avenue, both located less than four blocks away. The Tribune Tower and the Wrigley Building stand four blocks from the hotel.
Hotel Features. The triangular glass-enclosed Swissotel-Chicago was specifically designed to offer, from every angle, panoramic views of the Chicago skyline, Lake Michigan and Navy Pier. Sharing the view are dining options including The Palm restaurant that serves steak, seafood and Italian specialties, and Geneva's Restaurant, known for its buffet-style breakfast. The three- story lobby features a bar with a double-sided fireplace and a veranda. A fully-staffed business center offers a range of shipping services, plus fax, photocopy and print services. The 2,500-square-foot fitness center contains cardiovascular and weight-training equipment. Fees apply for use of the fitness equipment. Use of the indoor pool, dry sauna and spa tub is complimentary.

Guestrooms. The 43-story Swissotel - Chicago offers 632 smoke-free, contemporary guestrooms decorated in autumn colors. Beds are draped with 300-thread count cotton sheets and duvets. Cushioned armchairs are paired with ottomans. Italian marble-clad bathrooms offer bathrobes and contain separate showers and bathtubs. Minibars are stocked with treats. Rooms include flat-screen televisions and high-speed wired and wireless Internet access.

Expert Tip. Guests may choose to begin mornings in the Penthouse Health Club with workouts accompanied by 42nd-floor Lake Michigan views, and complete their days poolside gazing upon Chicago's illuminated lakefront vistas.

Very very good!

100% excellent. I suggest internet to be complimentary for guests and not to be paid additionaly, expecially taking into account the executive class of the hotel. Furthermore, wireless was unstable and slow, so I had to use cable internet. Besides this, absolutely fantastic!

A fine hotel in a fine city

We had booked evening restaurant reservations for each night of our stay but decided we were too tired one night and opted for a local take out. Bottle of wine, TV movie and cosy relaxation..perfect!!

Great Location

The corner rooms in this hotel are fantastic and can be had if one knows to ask. A good corner room allows you to have views of both the river and Lake Michigan.

Worst Experience I've Had in a Long Time

The hotel is in desperate need of renovation. The staff is unfriendly and uncooperative. I ended up checking out and going to another hotel.

I'd stay there again

This hotel was a treat for me. The room was spacious and comfortable. The only complaint I have is the lobby area which has no atmosphere.

Great location, great service

Swissotel is our favorite place to stay in Chicago. It's location is near Navy Pier, Millenium Park, and a short walk to the Gold Coast shops. The rooms are impeccably clean and the service is wonderful. We highly recommend this hotel.

Comfortable but not over the top

The hotel is in a great location and generally everyone was nice. There was a long line for check-in/check-out due to only 2 people behind the counter. The room was fine, not really anything special but the bed was great! The concierge desk was less than helpful, luckily we were already familiar with the City.

Awsome View

Classy and clean. Fantastic views of the lake and Navy Pier. Ask for a lake view room. Since the hotel is triangular, "corner rooms" offer good views too. Good work out area on top floor (more great views)and a nice 45 ft. pool. "The Palm" restaurant is top notch. The underground mall is on it's last legs. Desk staff should learn how to be more friendly. Overall, beautiful hotel!
