Beautiful property, stunning decor, clean and modern. Amazing staff, so kind and always ready to accommodate any request. The restaurant is also fantastic, had brunch there and it was great + the amazing service continued from the hotel. Oh and the rooftop was such a nice vibe, literally can’t say enough good things about our stay.

A rooftop lounge with views of the city skyline, on-site modern restaurant and a large indoor lap pool highlight the Loews Chicago Hotel. Located near the Chicago River, the hotel with free WiFi access is 10 minutes’ walk from Navy Pier.

This is a wonderful hotel! The room and the entire property are spotlessly clean, well designed and the lobby was so welcoming. In fact, it was the first hotel that made me want to spend time just sitting by the fireplace. We had the opportunity to eat at ETA (the hotel restaurant) for dinner and breakfast a few times and the food was excellent. Finally, the staff, with the exception of one team member was very kind, helpful and friendly.

Kasa Magnificent Mile Chicago is well located in the centre of Chicago, and provides a fitness centre and free WiFi. The property is close to several well-known attractions, less than 1 km from 360 Chicago, a 8-minute walk from Shops at Northbridge and 1.7 km from CIBC Theatre. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.3 km from Oak Street Beach.

The apartment was fantastic. It's conveniently located almost next to a metro stop on the red line, making it easy to get anywhere. While it's not in the Loop, you can reach it in just 10 minutes by metro. Additionally, the Magnificent Mile is only about three blocks away. There's a Whole Foods right across the street, and plenty of restaurants in the neighborhood for dinner options. Despite being centrally located, I didn't notice any noise during my stay. This could be attributed to the fact that I was on the 20th floor of the building, where street noise is minimal. The place itself was incredibly spacious and clean. Everything operated smoothly with Kasa, from getting the keys to entering the room. The apartment is well-equipped with amenities such as a kitchen, ironing facilities, laundry machine, and dishwasher, all of which functioned perfectly.

    Excellent location near to navy pier and Ohio street beach. Views were very nice from living area and all 3 bedrooms. Coffee provided. Bryan,our host, gave us some insightful information. Beds were comfortable. Having three bathrooms was great for the six of us. Does not have televisions in the bedrooms, which wasn’t important to us but might be to others. Plenty of closet storage space. Parking is available nearby in several locations and was cheaper than downtown hotels charge.

    We had a lovely Queen room, with a nice big bed, sofa, TV and lovely bathroom. Plenty of room for two. The location is fantastic, right on the end of the magnificent mile, and close to the beautiful beaches. There were just a few touches missing for it to truly deserve its four stars I'd say, but we did have a wonderful four night stay regardless.

    Amazing location. 3 mins walk to Ohio Street beach and the lakeside route, 10 mins walk to 'Downtown'. The Streeterville neighbourhood is very safe and very laidback. It was a treat having an outdoor pool in such a big city, although the weather was amazing and we swam in the lake and lazed on the beaches.

    Well-appointed, nicely decorated apartment with comfortable living room and luxurious king-sized beds in a well-maintained, easily accessible building. Perfect location close to the L. Street parking was not a problem and nearby beaches were a delightful discovery. The apartment was clean as a whistle on arrival and hosts provided supplies so we could clean up behind ourselves too.
