I wouldn’t stay here if you are looking for a 5-star hotel experience. Amenities were lacking on the property and in the rooms, service was mediocre-poor and the rooms are fine but slightly run down. Feels more like a basic, massive chain 4-star hotel than a “luxurious” experience. Wouldn’t stay here again, unfortunately - completely overpriced and I’m surprised that this is considered to be in the 5-star hotel category.

The Gwen was a really lovely hotel with great vibes in the lobby and bar area, too. The concierge helped us with balloons and champagne in our room as we were celebrating a birthday, and the employee who checked us in gave us two drink vouchers when our room wasn’t ready right away. Overall, it was a great stay and location and I’d stay here again!

This was our 3rd stay at The Gwen. Check-in, room, comfort and staff all great as they’ve been in the past. However, our brunch on Sunday was very overpriced relative to what it was, and it seemed hard to get a reservation despite the fact that it was almost empty when our time came. I tried on a Couple of occasions over the weekend to get drinks at the bar and gave up due to a long wait. I’ll maybe return not sure yet.

The Gwen is our favorite hotel in Chicago. The location is fantastic with easy access to dining and shopping options. We also enjoy the convenience of the public parking lot across the street

Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025

6/10

Overall highly over rated hotel. I had hoped for a much nicer experience given the local options at comparable costs but was let down tremendously. I highly regret not booking elsewhere. Interactions with staff were cold, unfriendly, uninviting and the several I interacted with during my stay were combative or down right hostile. Hotel claims to be “luxury” but there’s really nothing luxury about it except perhaps the bathrooms.

For our first time stay we had a wonderful time. You can’t beat the location, it was so easy to get to Magnificent Mike, River North and Gold Coast. Easy parking and nice, attentive staff.
