This apartment was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. Having the Jewel food store AND the Red Line station right literally next to the Grand Plaza was so handy! We were in touch with the owners and they were very responsive and helpful during our visit. We have never stayed in a high-rise (much less a 50th floor apartment) and it gave us a feeling of what city life would be like. We had a great time, saw a Cubs game, went to Museum of Science and Industry, took the Architectural Boat Cruise on the Chicago River…this trip was phenomenal! If you’re planning a trip to Chicago, this Penthouse is very conveniently located and everything you’d need is within steps or a short walk. Thank you again, James and Jeri-Lou!

The penthouse has everything thing you need and the view is the cherry on top. You have to get the parking garage pass it's a little expensive but it's a great luxury to have. Parking in Chicago is hard to find. The penthouse is walking distance from everything. The 9th floor gym is very nice and it was fun to be able to shoot the basketball around. Would stay again for sure.

Not sure why this place was referred to as a “penthouse” - while it’s on the 50th floor - the layout is more of a junior 1 bedroom. Pros: The view is nice, but it’s facing the city side versus the Lake. Nice comfortable living room with desk, so you can work and good WiFi. The gym facilities was nice and we used that nearly every day of our 8 day stay.Cons: While the bed was comfortable - it was hard getting in/out of the bed if you’re sleeping on the side closest to the wall. As a 6’ 2” guy - it was a struggle, since I sleep on that side of the bed. The towels provided were like “cotton blankets” - after a few days we end up using the beach towels. The toilet paper provided was cheap single-ply that you would find in a public restroom. We went down to the grocery store below and bought better toilet paper. The checkin process was interesting. We got there 10 minutes before our check-in time and was told to wait on the 9th floor since it was quite 4pm. It would have taken us 10 mins to get from the lobby to the apt with our bags. When I asked if the front desk was staffed 24 hours - the front desk person responded, “did you read the email” - like wow!The constant messages from the owners about checkout and penalties was annoying at best. There was no warmth or welcoming spirit - seemed very transactional. While the location of the building was fine - close walking distance to many popular attractions - there were homeless people were outside the building constantly.

I would go back for the towels alone!!! Yes, the space was great - well laid out, plenty for 2 adults, THAT VIEW is even better than the photos show, ease of local transit, so many good food & drink options literally within a 10 minute walk - but those towels!!!!!!! I dream about them……. ;)

My 11 year old grandson and I loved the unit and the location. We arrived on train from Philadelphia. We could tour the entire city by walking or short Uber/Lyft ride. We shopped at Jewel Oscoda just below, had a great selection of fresh foods. Had a great time, Views are fantastic!

You pay for what you get- the view was spectacular ✨️. Grocery store downstairs next door to the property. The penthouse had everything I needed, well stocked up, From paper towels, detergent,dishes to food plastics storage bags. You name it, pretty sure it had, if not the owner was just a call away.

Grand Plaza Penthouse Apartment

Grand Indeed! James and Jeri-Lou’s attention to detail and commitment to providing their guests a positive experience, coupled with the outstanding unit 50 floors up, made a memorable stay. The detailed instructions they provided about picking up “The Bag” and how to use its contents were VERY helpful. The doormen were friendly and knowledgeable. As we entered our romantic retreat, we were greeted by a personalized message on the TV screen welcoming us to this paradise in the sky. Nice touch! The unit was clean and fresh smelling. The furniture and furnishings were as advertised, with the appliances, cookware, dishes, linen, silverware, etc., all consistent with a unit of this caliber. The location, near the Chicago River, made it easy for us to get out and explore and indulge in famous eateries, like Gibson’s Italia and Robert’s Pizza Company. All in all, it was exactly the home we wanted for our stay. Very pleased. No complaints.

Fabulous!!

We had an absolutely fabulous experience!! The view was even better than in the photos… with an amazing sunrise, sunset, view of the city, and view of Lake Michigan. The apartment was immaculate and very well stocked….. from spices to tissues to Q-tips. We did plenty of walking in the city, but if you needed more of a workout, the building was equipped with a gym, a swimming pool, and an outdoor track. It also had a library and complimentary Starbucks. It was within walking distance to all the attractions Chicago is known for, and the street was lined with wonderful restaurants/entertainment. We would definitely stay here again!!

My 16 yo daughter and I loved staying at this apartment. It was nice and close to restaurants and many of the things we wanted to see and do. Right next door to Jewel Osco which was very convenient. I loved how well stocked the apartment was. Everyone in the building was super nice and friendly. The gym, library and pool were great! Also, the night time view of the city was unmatched. Great communication with the owners. Would absolutely stay here again.

This place was great! We enjoyed our stay here which is located in a central location for all attractions. The unit was clean and well stocked. The amenities were excellent. So many restaurants to choose from and there is an excellent grocery store in the building. But the best thing was the view from the balcony!

Amazing Penthouse Property!!

The penthouse exceeded our expectations! We were able to check-in quickly upon arrival and felt right at home when we entered the apartment.

We enjoyed the ability to use the 9th floor level amenities during our stay and were pleasantly surprised by how close the building is located to the activities we had planned. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful View and Great Location

Would 100% recommend! Communication with the owner was easy and instructions were clear. The property was exactly as described and immaculately clean. The neighborhood is wonderful, and we felt completely safe. We walked everywhere and enjoyed many of the nearby restaurants and pubs. Although it was cold in Chicago during our stay, we loved standing on the balcony to watch the beautiful sunsets. Actually, we spent a lot of time on the balcony, despite the cold, because the view from the 50th floor was so fabulous. But if you like to sleep in, either bring a mask to cover your eyes or book one of the other apartments with a fully separate bedroom. As shown in the photos, this is more of a studio with a doorway but no door on the bedroom. There is a wall of windows in the living room, and the blinds do not block the light fully, which makes the bedroom bright.
