Contemporary luxury on the Magnificent Mile
The Conrad Chicago hotel might be a shopper's best-kept secret, like a Chanel bag on sale. Removed from the crowds, the 17-story Conrad maintains a strong city presence with rooms that look out across twinkling lights and landmark buildings. Touches of elegance dominate, but not in an old-fashioned way. Look for the bold and understated to work together, like an oversized mirror against a neutral-colored wall. Don’t miss the rooftop bar for breathtaking city views.
Highlights
  • Stunning city views from the seasonal rooftop bar and 24-hour fitness center
  • An eclectic menu featuring seasonal, local ingredients at The Restaurant at Conrad
  • Just an elevator ride away from the Shops at North Bridge on the Magnificent Mile
Rooms
The rooms and suites at the Conrad Chicago hotel ooze a sophisticated style. Find 500-count linens, pillow menus and chenille arm chairs. Natural light from the windows fill the rooms by day, while recessed lighting creates a sultry feel at night. Fresh-cut flowers and plants bring extra joy and greenery to suites. Enjoy nightly turndown service.

For there tech-savvy traveler, each room features free wireless Internet access, an iPod alarm clock with charging/docking station and 42-inch plasma flat-screen TVs.
Features
The Restaurant at the Conrad Chicago hotel puts a Midwestern spin on Asian cuisine. The Restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, relies on seasonal organic ingredients to create dishes with flair. Tufted banquettes and striped wallpaper lend a loveliness to the dining space that transcends time.

For cocktails or date nights, head to The Terrace at the Conrad Chicago hotel, a seasonal rooftop lounge that could easily double as a South Beach haunt in warmer months. Day beds and chaises with oversized pillows provide a casual contemporary backdrop to that stunning skyline. Pull up a chair at an umbrella table to soak in those views.

The large fitness center features state-of-the-art cardiovascular and strength-training equipment, as well as stunning city views.

Love the Conrad, Don't bother dining

Perfect location, at southern end of the Mag Mile, that way you can walk (or cab) all the way up and back and not worry about missing something or needing to back track. Also, it's connected to a smaller mall (Shops at North Bridge) which includes some good stores. So if you aren't really interested in doing a lot of shopping or if the weather is bad, you have this readily accessible alternative. Everything else about the hotel was great, except they were in the middle of renovations on the lobby floor so it's not the most esthetically pleasing but it didn't affect any other floor that I could see. NOW, my biggest complaint...the dining option(s) in the hotel are an absolute disappointment!!!!! Overly-gourmet menu selections, in cuisine-sized portions at obnoxious prices. Even the cocktail menu at the bar was ridiculous ($14-16). And it has nothing to do with it being a 4-star hotel. I have stayed at the Indianapolis location which is attached to an upscale restaurant, but from room service to seated dining, the menu is more diverse and portions are filling. The prices are still relatively high but are justified. Fortunately there is a decent food court in the connected mall and other nice restaurants in the immediate area. Point is.....DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY OR APPETITE ON THE HOTEL'S FOOD SERVICE:(

Fantastic Hotel

Hotel is ideally situated: access to shopping mall within hotel and close to all downtown attractions. Room was perfect - just if i am picky i would say that a light in the middle of the room in the ceiling would be a good add on. Staff were really professional and helpful, friendly... Great hotel to stay at. A bit pricey but if you want to treat yourself then don't hesitate.

Awesome 48

I took my husband to Chicago to celebrate his birthday. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was amazing. The location of the hotel is great, right in the middle of everything. The concierge that works in the morning is the best. She referred us to fantastic restaurants to dine on some great food and the customer service representative that worked in the evening advised us on transportation and the architectural/historical tour on the river. We had an amazing time and would definitely stay at the Conrad the next time we come to Chicago. Don't forget your Garrett's Popcorn and a lovely steak at Gibson's .This was a great 48 hours for us. We loved every minute.
