When we arrived at check in time, we were informed that our room was not ready but that we could upgrade at a discounted additional cost to a suite. At first, we didn't want to do that and decided to wait. The host provided complimentary round of drinks and meal for the wait. We decided to upgrade and I'm so glad that we did. The room was incredible and the service, from concierge, staff and valets, here is top notch. We ordered the Waldorf salad and Waldorf chocolate chip cookies because you have to if you stay here. Loved this place and will definitely return.
We had a devastating family emergency and the staff handled everything for us. They were so kind and compassionate. I don’t know how I could have handled getting to the airport and returning the rental car without them.
Wonderful stayca weekend! If you can handle to splurge yourself for a weekend, the Waldorf Astoria Chicago will not disappoint! Drinks on property are phenomenal, the services offered are impeccable. We'll return!
