Fun and different hotel. Pricey for one night but great location.
Pros:

The view from the room is nice. The roof is covered in greenary and was better than just a roof with vents. Also able to see train from room, but did not hear it at all.

Cons:

The app for hotel made it seem you could add on additional items pretty easily. I tried to opt in for early check in, and beverages, but neither of those we were able to do. We were able to drop our bags, but I would not have come straight to the hotel if we knew we could not check in.

Very luxe, very relaxing.
Pros:

A very comfortable, inviting stay. I love the Le Labo bathroom products! The room smelled great and was very cozy. Cafe food delivered right to the room. Temperature adjustments to the rooms were easy and quick. All of the employees were very nice and helpful. Loved that there was a noise machine provided as well.

Cons:

The TV was lagging when trying to use the streaming services, but I just put the TV on to fall asleep, not my main point of focus for my trip!

Empfehlung!
Pros:

Die Lage in Wicker Park ist zwischen O‘Hare und dem Loop, also gut überall hin. Direkt an der Blue Line Damen (ohne Aufzug, aber das Hotel hilft freundlichst. Ich finde den Bau einfach besonders - und den Blick vom Dach oder einem der Eckzimmer auf Downtown atemberaubend.
Café Robey im Erdgeschoss ist gut (guter Kaffee), Service insgesamt war bei uns sehr zuvorkommend ohne aufdringlich zu sein.
Bloomingdale Trail zum Laufen ohne Straßenverkehr ist zwei Blicks gen Nordrn - auch klasse.
Eine Empfehlung!

Cons:

Wer nur den Loop erkunden will und öffentlichen Nahverkehr scheut, für den ist es vermutlich etwas weit weg.

Pros:

Loved the art deco building, the location, the rooftop bar, and the breakfast. The room was small, but clean and comfortable.

Cons:

I felt the front desk staff were a bit snobby, particularly the person who checked me out.
