Roaring 1920s meets the rockin' present
Towering 40 floors above the Magnificent Mile, the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago was an institution long before celebrity guests like Dave Navarro passed through its black polished granite and terra cotta walls. The Carbide & Carbon Building earned landmark status in 1996 for its designóa champagne bottle with gold-foil top bubbling over the Windy City. Today, the property takes on rocker appeal and remains a popular place to stay. Room walls are covered with rock-n-roll memorabilia and hip room decor to keep the party going all night long.Highlights
- On the Magnificent Mile, near Millennium Park and Grant Park
- China Grill Restaurant
- 10 free iTunes downloads
- Gibson Guitar rentals
- Staffed business center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Great view
It was a good time. They were delayed a bit in giving us our room but they upgraded us and gave us complimentary breakfast. What I liked most was the location. It was downtown close to the Navy pier and the riverwalk.

Birthday mother
Interesting
It was my son's birthday-the front desk was great and provided a complimentary guitar rental and popcorn. When iwas in the lounge gum got stuck on my pants and the bartender gave me my drinks on the house.THE room was dark, small, and the room next door had guests that could NOT have been louder if they tried. When I complained the next morning, I was told nothing could be done because I had prepaid and I should have said something during the night- I really didn't want to move all of my belongings in the middle of the night once my 10 year old FINALLY fell asleep???? Great bray perks from desk for son. Rooms are not impressive, paper thin walls.

One night stay at Hard Rock Chicago
Our one night stay was as expected. The hotel was very nice, modern with a bar and restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We ordered room service which was overpriced (expected) but convenient, as it is available 24 hours. The room was nice, clean, & modern (new flat screen tv) with a view of Michigan avenue, the river, and building, but also small. There was not much room between the beds and dresser/tv. Good location on Michigan ave and the parking garage around the block is cheaper than valet if you do not need your car until you leave.

went to chicago for New years the hotel pictures on the website were nothing like they looked. the carpet was old and dirty, the lighting was so dim we had to go to the fitness center to put make-up on. the room was extremely small had two queen beds but no where to put anything. the decor was outdated. the only rest in the hotel was a chinese rest that didn't even smell inviting. had to call the front desk three times to get a lightbulb for the lamp. would not stay again...

Fantastic Hotel!
The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. The first night, we were unfortunately roomed next to partiers that woke us up at 3 AM. The hotel staff was very accommodating, handled the concern, and transferred us to a suite for the inconvenience. Overall it was a great stay, and I will definitely be back.

Great Location for the price.
We went to Chicago to celebrate a birthday and took in a play at the Cadillac Palace. It was walking distance from the hotel. The location was perfect. It was close to great restaurants, shopping, and attractions. The hotel was well kept and the people who worked there were very pleasant and helpful.

beware of ice machine
When booking I requested two rooms near each other. We arrived around 4:30 and were given two rooms with adjoining numbers so we thought, no problem. That is until we got to our rooms and one was around the corner and the other was right next to the ice machine. We went back down to the desk and asked to switch rooms and were told they were 100% booked for the night. (Bon Jovi concert and Rock-N-Roll half marathon) Clearly not everyone had checked in but they still would not switch rooms, told us to check back in a couple of hours! [...]We checked back later that evening and were told there wasn't anything they could do for us. Front desk staff were very rude and could have cared less about helping us.
