Not a 4 star.
Pros:

If you are looking for a "4 star hotel" with high level accommodations and excellent guest service, just stay somewhere else. This hotel is not 4 star. It appears 4 star, as the lobby is gorgeous and the building is historic, but it does not operate as a high level hotel should. Wifi did not work in our room, our guest room phone did not work and was disconnected, food is overpriced, elevators are slow, check-in process was slow and they had so many people waiting in the lobby. If this is booked with fine hotels & resorts through American Express then DEFINITELY avoid - you do not get nearly any of the amenities they say they can/should provide.

Ehhh / Nothing to Brag About / Expected More From Pendry & AMEX
Pros:

Hotel was a bit outdated, breakfast service was horrible. Hostess had a major attitude and the food and waitress took forever to come. Hotel room was noisy.

Family Visit
Pros:

The Hotel Pendy's prime location is conveniently close to Michigan Ave which is perfect for a lovely walk to shops and food. We were very pleased with the room which was well kept, clean and comfortable. The Verteux resturant on site was excellent, we loved the oysters! Bar Pendry was nice to stop for a drink and relax. I would definitely return for another stay at hotel Pendry.

An unforgettable first Chicago stay
Pros:

My stay at the Pendry Chicago was truly exceptional and made my first trip to Chicago incredibly memorable. From the moment I arrived, the level of service stood out. Every detail felt thoughtful and elevated.

A special thank you to Dolapo, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was seamless and enjoyable. That kind of genuine care and attention makes all the difference and does not go unnoticed.

The hotel itself is beautiful, perfectly located, and has such a great atmosphere. Everything, from the rooms to the overall experience, felt refined yet welcoming.

I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Chicago and I’m already looking forward to my next stay.

Luxury and location!
Pros:

The Pendry was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The hotel itself was very well maintained. I loved the blend of design between historic Chicago with modern upgrades. Small touches like refilling glass waters in the room each day, to bathrobes, to quality linens really elevated the stay. My room was beautiful. The room service was top quality. I ordered breakfast in every morning. The lattes and chia seed pudding were delicious. The location of this hotel is perfect, I was able to walk everywhere. I would absolutely stay here again.

Exceptional hospitality at the Pendry
Pros:

I recently stayed at the Pendry Chicago for a quick trip, and while the property itself is beautiful and well-located, what truly stood out and what will absolutely bring me back was the level of service.

Muriel and Michael, along with the entire bell staff, went above and beyond to make me feel genuinely welcomed from the moment I arrived. Their attention to detail, warmth, and ability to personalize the experience with great recommendations based on my reason for visiting did not go unnoticed. It’s rare to encounter a team that strikes such a perfect balance between professionalism and authentic hospitality, but they absolutely delivered. I travel a lot, and this was a standout service experience.

Because of them, I would not hesitate to return to the Pendry Chicago and would confidently recommend it to others looking for both a beautiful hotel and truly exceptional service.

The AC does not work
Pros:

My room never got below a very humid 71/72 degrees the entire night. I was unable to sleep the entire night. A fan was provided but this was zero help… I have never been at a “luxury” hotel that did not even have functioning AC. I was extremely disappointed by this “2 key Michelin star” hotel… I would have rather stayed at the Citizen’s M across the street.

Cozy!
Pros:

Our stay in the city was absolutely amazing, and a big part of that was thanks to Pendry!

From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel so welcome, and every stay here continues to feel special. Pendry truly has a way of making the city feel even more enjoyable, and this hotel always feels cozy.

A very special shoutout to Muriel Tan, who has been consistently wonderful during each of my visits. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication always stand out, and she has a remarkable way of making every stay feel personal and memorable. It is rare to come across someone who delivers such genuine hospitality so consistently, and she is truly one of the reasons I always love coming back. A true professional!

The location is also one of our favorite parts of staying here, absolutely beautiful and perfect for walking to so many of the city’s best spots, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Pendry has made our stay feel like home once again!

Great Hotel Deal
Pros:

Excellent location. We have gone a couple times to this hotel and is not overcrowded. It is charming, calm, and easy going. We like it every time we have stayed here. We feel relaxed and almost feel like if we were staying outside the city. And the price is great for the amenities you get and the location.

Fantastic stay - highly recommended!
Pros:

We had a great two nights at the Pendry. It's an awesome location - walking distance to Millennium Park and the Art Institute and much more. We used the Chase Sapphire Edit credit to stay and received an upgraded room, free breakfast, and $100 property credit. The room was amazing, breakfast was so filling and delicious (we chose room service) and the Venteux Restaurant was wonderful to use our property credit. Lariza at the front desk was so friendly and helpful. I would stay again without hesitation. One minor downside was some street noise/sirens, but it wasn't terrible. Definitely consider this hotel for your next Chicago stay!

THE Best Hotel Stay
Pros:

My mom and I stayed at the Pendry Chicago, and it was easily one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had.

From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Our stay was truly unforgettable thanks to Muriel's exceptional service. She went above and beyond in every interaction—welcoming, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our stay special. It’s rare to come across someone who brings that level of care, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail, and it made a lasting impression on both of us.

The hotel itself is beautiful, comfortable, and in a great location, but it was the personal touch that elevated the entire experience. Thanks to Muriel, what could have been just a nice stay turned into something truly memorable.

I can’t recommend the Pendry enough and I hope Muriel gets the recognition she deserves. We’ll absolutely be back!

Expensive but good
Pros:

Bar area and rooms are nice

Cons:

The man at the concierge desk I heard him talking to a woman that was needing to order balloons and I overheard him telling the check in staff that he had already talked to the woman so when he called her and then hung up he made a face of annoyance. I was waiting for my car to pick me up and I observed it all ….he was bothered and annoyed…not good
