I liked how everyone who worked at The Drake were kind, caring and very helpful. They explained any questions I may have had. The rooms were beautiful, clean and had extra towels in the rooms. The valet service was also wonderful! We parked in self parking to save some money, and it was only a block away!

Excellent experience… A wonderful and historic place to stay… unfortunately, our view was of a fire escape, and a brick wall! But that did not deter us, made it all the more “Chicago”! Go to the bar and get the Caprese ravioli… Just do it… Best pasta I’ve ever had!

The Drake Hotel is a wonderful Chicago landmark with timeless elegance, beautiful architecture, and exceptional service. Its location on Michigan Avenue is outstanding, placing guests close to the lakefront, shopping, restaurants, and many of the city’s best attractions. The rooms are comfortable and full of historic charm, and the hotel’s public spaces feel grand and inviting. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend The Drake to anyone visiting downtown Chicago.

This hotel is 106 years old, expect the musty smell. The A/c kept us up all night, every time it would click on it made some kind of rattling noise like paper was stuck in the vent. If you don’t mind some inconveniences and want to be downtown for a reasonable price, this is a good place to stay. The staff are friendly and there’s history here, literally.
