The drake has been a family tradition when in the city. My grandparents stayed there, my parents would stay there, my wife and I have My wife and I could stay anywhere but the Drake is special to us. One of the reason for that has been the service and quality of the Coq d’or. The chowder, the cocktails, the atmosphere, the service… all of which has been missing since shortly after COVID. I’m not sure if they brought in an “efficiency” expert to manage the place, or if their long present quality staff has retired, but it’s changed, and not for the better. The chowder is still decent, but quality of service, craftsmanship of the cocktail and the food quality has significantly declined. Our room was great! Hotel staff friendly, but there’s a hundred hotels, all with Chicago’s historical pedigree that have great bars. The Coq D’or has broken our heart and it’s very questionable if we will give it another shot.

I’ve always wanted to stay at the Drake since it’s an iconic hotel. It was a fun overnight. It’s an older hotel but still charming. The staff was great. The day was very nice.

Beautiful historic building and great location. Have been coming here since I was a little girl. While everything is clean and staff is wonderful, everything is old and showing wear. Not talking about fixtures and furniture - towels were threadbare, bedspread shabby, carpets worn. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will be back.
