Mag Mile hotel close to Grant Park, Museum Campus and Lake Michigan
Hilton Chicago guests have the lake and Mag Mile outside their windows and at their front door, an enviable position for the many conventioneers and tourists who flock to the Windy City every year. Across from Grant Park, the 1,544-rooms retain a traditional look, but are equipped with modern conveniences like flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi. Kitty O'Shea's, the on-site Irish pub, makes for a cozy spot to indulge in shepherd's pie and a pint of Guinness.
Highlights
  • Mag Mile hotel across from Grant Park and other Chicago landmarks
  • Ample convention space
  • 1,544 traditionally-styled rooms equipped with Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs
  • Kitty O'Shea's Irish pub
Location
Perched on the Mag Mile -- Chicago's famous boulevard for shopping and landmarks -- Hilton Chicago maintains a high-profile presence and instant access to Grant Park, Lake Michigan, Museum Campus, Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago. Guests simply have to walk to some of the city's best shops, restaurants and bars from the property or take advantage of ample bus and train lines nearby.
Rooms
Hilton Chicago rooms embody traditional sophistication. Neutral colors complement heavy wood furniture, from gold-trimmed nightstands and headboards to handsome media cabinets. Guests have a choice, too, thanks to an inventory of 1,544 rooms -- ideal for conventioneers and tourists looking to stay on the Mag Mile. Crown molding and valances in some rooms add extra touches of elegance. Windows have city or Lake Michigan views. Standard amenities include La Source from Crabtree & Evelyn bath products, European linens, 27-inch flat-screen TVs and wired or Wi-Fi access.
Dining
Hilton Chicago brings a taste of Ireland to Chicago with Kitty O'Shea, the resident wood-heavy Irish pub, where diners wash down Celtic favorites like shepherd's pie and fish 'n chips with creamy pints of Guinness. For a hearty breakfast buffet, patrons visit The Pavilion, which dishes up 40 items on the stations. The restaurant is open all day.

nice hotel

There was a huge disgusting bug/insect/creature in my room the first morning, but they were quick to offer me a new room (upgraded complementary) to compensate for the nasty creature being in my room. The hotel seemed a little run-down compared to my original expectations of it (and the price), but overall it was nice.

Hotel quality

We attended the Chicago blues Fest, and have stayed at the Chicago Hilton hotel each visit (fourth). However, the last two visits have been met with dissatisfaction. Complaints consisted of broken heater in room, shower heads not working properly, being charged for services not rendered, no mat in shower (husband slipped in tub while taking shower. The rooms are always nice and clean, but we seemed to have to always change rooms because of something not working.

The Chicago Hilton is across the street from Grant Park, venue for the festivals, which makes this hotel in a prime location, however, the quality of the hotel is slipping.

Ok Overall

I was there on a business trip over the weekend. The hotel was fine, however I would say that the cleanliness of the hotel could have been much better. I did not like walking into the bathroom and seeing clumps of hair on the floor that were not mine. The walls were also splattered with stain marks. Just not a very pleasant thing to walk into right away.

Disappointed with the basics

After returning to our room after a full day of Christening activities for our grandchild around midnight, we found our room exactly as we left it... no housecleaning, no fresh towels, etc. However, we did have a new $6.00 2 litre bottle of water waiting for us. With a call to the front desk we were told no adjustment could be made to our bill because we dealt with [...]! A day's parking was removed as well as the $6.00 bottle of water. Not good enough... No more Hilton and no more [...]for us!!

Historical landmark needs some updating

I was in town for the NRA Show, and the Hilton was one of the most reasonably priced hotels available. The location is great - very scenic as it's situated across from Grant Park and a short cab ride away to many landmarks and neighborhoods. I enjoyed learning about the interesting historical facts about the hotel during my short elevator rides, and there is definitely an air of old school glamour. If you're looking for modern and hip, this is not the place for you. The rooms were quite outdated in terms of decor and my room had a strong musty smell which I eventually got used to. It also would have been nice to have free WiFi and free access to their gym. Ask for a room facing the park and a non-smoking room.

Hilton Chicago Executive Floor

Spent 2 nights on the executive floor at the Hilton Chicago. Very beautiful and the concierge lounge has a fantastic view of the lake. Room was clean and nicely appointed. This location is very centrally located. Would definitely stay again.
