The new Hotel Lincoln is a window to the most dynamic part of Chicago's North Side, Lincoln Park. Like the neighborhood, the hotel is historic yet fresh, fun though eccentric, active but relaxed. It's where the energy of urban life meets 1,200 green acres and Lake Michigan. All of which makes the Lincoln that unique place where the rhythms of a great city can be felt, savored and adopted as your own. The Lincoln's 184 rooms are classic Chicago seen through an eclectic, contemporary lens. They're on the preppy side, designed and furnished with modern and vintage details, including original art from local artists. Rooms on the highest floors - 9 through 12 - feature the hotel finest views, especially when facing east toward Lincoln Park and the lake.

Onsite parking $44.00 per night Offsite parking $25.00 per night

It was...okay.

Overall, the hotel is nice but it lacks any sort of remarkable qualities that provide for an abiding impression. The lobby was quite unique, and the attached coffee shop was perfect. The hotel hallways and rooms, however, left much to be desired. As with many things Chicago, it just didn't quite hit the mark. I will say, though, that the customer service experience was superb and they went out of their way to make me feel welcomed. I live in Chicago and wanted to have a short "stay-cation" (I hate that made-up word!), but I'm not sure I got my money's worth (I especially wouldn't have if the room hadn't been discounted 30% through a travel website!). Check it out...but don't expect to be dazzled.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

I lived in Old Town for three years and most of the dining experiences are lackluster and overpriced (not to mention the wretched aged frat boy clientele). Skip the reservations, grab a gigantic slice of pizza at Bacci (on North Ave between Wells and La Salle) and head back to the hotel room. In the morning, grab a great breakfast sandwich and pastry from Twisted Sister Bakery and enjoy alongside the fountain next to the Chicago History Museum.

Very Accommodating

I am an observant Jew, and this means that I have certain restrictions on our Sabbath. Not only was the hotel nice, but the staff was very accommodating to all of my needs. The location was perfect, as well. I would recccommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in Chicago!

Great Lincoln Park hotel

Very nice rooms, although they are small, and the hotel's restaurant and rooftop bar are each pretty special! If you want the Lincoln Park/Old Town Chicago experience, this is the hotel to stay in!

Visiting daughter in Old Town

From the minute we walked in to the hotel we absolutely loved it! From the front desk staff, to the maid service, to the fabulous coffee shop in the lobby-we loved it all! Enjoyed the wall of ugly pictures on the staircase-somehow i think i painted a couple of them doing paint by numbers! The toiletries in the room were fabulous, my husband even asked the maid for extras. Now, lets talk about the bed. Can honestly say had 2 fabulous nights of sleep! Best bed I have slept in in a hotel EVER. Now, lastly, went to the rooftop bar which was a blast. Can't wait to go back in the summer to sit outside on the deck!
