Top Chicago Children's Museum Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful hotel. I loved that it has some history in it. Staff were very kind, friendly and helpful. The rooms were also very clean. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back. If they could add some more elevators that would be awesome."

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff was excellent on both overnight and day shift. Friendly and competent. I enjoyed chatting with them. 🙂"

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Both guys at the front desk were very friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed the historic vibe of the hotel, but the room itself was a little smaller than I expected. I also didn’t like that the iron and ironing board were located in the hallway on each floor instead of inside the room. The bed wasn’t as comfortable as I’m used to at a 4-star hotel, and the room could use a little TLC and a few upgrades. I stayed in room 1007, and although I love being on a higher floor, I would probably choose a different room next time. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again because I loved the historic charm of the hotel."

Swissotel - Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"First solo birthday trip and the staff was so accommodating! The room was very clean and comfortable. The location is the perfect spot to sightsee. The only downside was my iron didn’t work and the hallways were very hot."

Sable at Navy Pier Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Arrived to a confusion about the room and pricing through Expedia. Staff was helpful and took care of it! Got the pricing we were promised and had a great stay! Me and my fiance had a great time!"

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Me and wife stay 3 nights is Hampton Inn from Aug 31 to Sept3 2026.It is 40 stories hotel. The hotel location is excellent, beautiful in Chicago, very close to Michgan Ave Magnificent Mile, the most beautiful area, high rise buildings and shopping stores. Close to Lake, close to chicago River side, close to Millennium park. Breakfast was ok, not high level, just so, so, Baggage in and out room service was not available when we reached we took our own bags to room. No swimming pool was available. Close to hospital block, .For food Asian food Indian restaurant available on walking distance. I recommend this hotel to tourists coming for Chicago buildings, and other attractions. Mahboob Mian Canada."
