Guest Reviews
Luigi helped us at The Gwen and thank goodness he did! Upon arrival he made sure our check in was seamless, and gave phenomenal recommendations — even was able to secure last minute reservations! Beautiful hotels, beautiful rooms, and exceptional service
Nice space, friendly staff quiet room
Walking into The Gwen, I was already impressed by the building itself. Art Deco facade, Michigan Avenue address, nearly a century of Chicago history holding the whole thing up. But what made the check-in experience genuinely memorable was Luigi.
He got me checked in early, which already sets the tone for a trip, but it was the way he did it. Warm, genuinely hospitable, great personality. The kind of person who makes you feel like the hotel is happy you’re there, not just processing your arrival.
That warmth carried through the entire stay, and I think that’s exactly why this property holds a Michelin Key. It’s not just the address or the architecture. It’s the way the people here make you feel.
My room had a view of Michigan Avenue and a soaking tub I did not want to leave. Upstairs at The Gwen is where I’d tell anyone to spend their first evening. The cocktail menu is lovely (they have many options for Mexico lovers with tequila and mezcal). That plus fire pits and a city skyline - yes please.
The gym matters to me more than most things when I travel. I’m a health coach and I work out every day, so a fully equipped fitness center isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s non-negotiable. The Gwen’s gym had everything I needed without having to improvise or skip anything.
If you’re booking Chicago, start here. Thank you for a lovely stay!
We stay at The Gwen whenever we stay in Chicago. The location is perfect for sightseeing and visiting favorite restaurants and bars.
All staff members, from the servers in the restaurant to people at the front desk, treat us with the utmost professionalism and care. The rooms are gorgeous, with large, luxurious bathrooms, and the beds are extra comfy.
Good food is important to us, and every meal we've eaten at Upstairs at the Gwen has been outstanding. The menu is seasonal, with a wide selection of entrées. The atmosphere is festive, with a lovely bar, and comfortable seating.
During a recent visit we enjoyed drinks and snacks in the evening at the bar where Claudia took great care of us, and we had a delicious breakfast the next morning, served by Meredith. The Belgian Waffle with fresh berries and citrus mascarpone was delightful.
We're already looking forward to our next visit to the Gwen!
The staff, more specifically Judy and Sarah, were amazing and very helpful!
We love the set up and attentiveness.
Would be back!

This is surely the loveliest hotel I’ve been to thus far. The entire staff has been extremely pleasant. I came here after an unpleasant hotel experience, trying to escape home for a bit and Jafar especially, has been very thoughtful and accommodating. May this hotel continue to thrive and be great.
The lobby is amazing so beautiful! And I love how it is connected to the parking garage across the street! It’s in a great location. Lugi at the front desk was AMAZING!
Amazing vibes, 10/10 aura, luxury and beauty all around! No detail is missed in this place and people like Davielle, Judie, and their manager (was his name Max??? I can’t remember!) Go way above and beyond to take care of you!
Great location, friendly staff, good restaurant,
Rooms need updating. The carpet in my room was stained and dirty.
We had a great experience there. The food was excellent, and our server, Davi, was attentive and took great care of us. A special thank you to the receptionist,Judie, who was kind to my niece. My niece even wrote a thank you note to Judie before we left. I would recommend the Gwen’s restaurant for any family gathering.
We were at a different hotel and immediately checked out due to a horrendous experience. My husband called Jafar the The Gwen and Jafar took care of us. We had the most amazing experience, I can’t even explain how incredible our room was. Jafar made our experience so incredible and I will never ever forget it!!
Judie was so great that my young daughter said she wanted her as part of our family so needless to say, the service was phenomenal. The tea was delicious and the sandwiches and treats were wonderful.
Judie is amazing!! I’ve been here twice and she’s always super kind, understanding, and accommodating. My friends and I were cold at the rooftop and there weren’t any fire-pits available so she gave us blankets! We love the food and the atmosphere already but she makes it more personable and fun!
Great experience Jude was an amazing host . Very communicative and helpful
We were so lucky to have had Daviel as a server, and Judie was absolutely amazing. I came with a friend who had just recieved their Ph.D. in Physics, and Judie was just delightful in celebrating their accomplishments. The drinks were delicious, the fireside comfortable, and my friend just felt so seen. Thank you!
Luigi and Alex were very welcoming with lots of great recommendations for our birthday weekend.
This is a gorgeous hotel in a great location. The staff, particularly Luigi and Alex, are excellent and go out of their way to make sure your stay is perfect.
We stayed at the Gwen in order to celebrate our son‘s graduation. We were here for three nights . Luigi checked us in and was so friendly and personable. We enjoyed everything about our stay. The room, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere and staff.
