Top Gold Coast Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great views!"

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

10/10 Excellent

"The art deco design of the hotel is lovely and the location is perfect for exploring the Loop. But the staff are the reason we will come back! After we checked out we realized that we left food in the refridgerator - leftovers from a restaurant that makes the most amazing mole. I called the hotel and thankfully our room had not yet been cleaned, so the staff kindly held our food at reception until we could come back to pick it up. The also graciously did not make fun of us for being that obsessed with mole."

Eurostars Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Hotel room was nice, not very big but still had everything that was needed. AC worked just fine as well. The area was great, lots of things around. The subway is about a 4 minute walk which makes using public transportation a lot easier. Most tourist areas are about a 20 minute walk from this place!"
