Gold Coast boutique meets 1920s charm
The Whitehall Hotel manages that rare combination of location and ambiance. The hotel is situated one block from the Magnificent Mile and Rush Street nightlife district, but tucked away from the tourist fray on a residential street. One of Chicago's oldest luxury hotels but certainly no slouch, the Whitehall brims with 19th century elegance -- imagine chandeliers, wood paneling and tufted leather chairs, all restored to match the original European grace and grandeur of this Gold Coast gem.

Chicago Girls Weekend
Great downtown Chicago hotel
The location is very central and walking distance to many Chicago attractions and train access. Great value for the money. Very clean, spacious rooms with comfortable beds. Probably my only complaint was that an elevator was down, so it took quite a while to get up or down. The staff was very friendly and helpful from the door men to the front desk clerks to the concierge. I would definitely stay again at this hotel.

Nightlife tip:
Short walk from hotel
The Back Room was suggested by the hotel concierge and has great live music in a fun and intimate setting. Very enjoyable R&B bands with minimal cover. Walking distance from hotel (2 1/2 blocks).

Great location and staff, not much else.
Our room was small and a bit musty and our bath even smaller - very difficult for two women. No space on vanity for toiletries, safe did not work, TV was an antique with very few stations, and only one outlet. Location was great and the price a good value, but, would not return here.

Losing its Status
Small old fashioned room TV with a fuzzy picture. Setting room correct room temperature involved setting the temperature controls at least five degrees above or below the temperature you want.

Pathetic
Poor lightnening in rooms. Front desk staff could not find my reservation even though I had a hotel reservation number and asked me to call this website. It happened to another guest while I was there.

Great staff and location with few frills
The Whitehall is in a great location on the Magnificent Mile. It's just across the street from the Hancock building and in a fairly prime location for lots of downtown touristy activities. However, amenities are definitely lacking. Internet is $10/day for guests in the room or business center and our TV (and reception) was from 1985. Good, given the price.

Great location
The lobby is very small but everyone was more than friendly and helpful. The location was fabulous. Our room was somewhat small, but adequate. We would stay there again.

I fely very comfortable in and around your hotel
I only spent 84 a night. I was unfamiliar with your establishment. I drank a few cups of coffee in the mornings. I liked the margarita pizza. I received a USA Today paper the first morning and then nothing. I could never get one downstairs either. But ...Hey. Everyone was very helpful and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
