Recently stayed at the Intercontinental for a weekend birthday get-away. We stayed in the Historic Tower (31st floor, far east side) with an unbelievable view of the Chicago river and Lake Michigan/Navy Pier. Room was very clean and quiet. The front desk was extremely helpful in providing local maps, calling restaurants for reservations, and answering all questions. The treatment we... more

If you want to stay in a hotel with an entrance on the Magnificent Mile, I would recommend this hotel. My husband and I booked our room on hotwire.com and got a wonderful rate over the 4th of July holiday. We had probably the smallest room in the hotel, but it was clean and extremely quiet. The bathroom was a... more

Well located hotel (on the Magnificent Mile). Nice building -- at least the old part, which was built in 1929 as the luxury 'Medinah Athletic Club'. The hotel also has a 'new' wing (built in the early 1960s), which is much less of an architectural highlight. My room was in the new wing -- there seems to be a premium... more

Nice location, right on the Magnificent Mile in the midst of all the stores and action. Walking distance to the Navy Pier (about 15 minute walk). Down the street from Millenium Park and the Art Institude. Right outside the door is the trolley and bus stops to get anywhere you desire. Couple blocks from Grant Park and river cruises. Lots... more

In celebration of my granddaughter's 6th birthday, we enjoyed a special weekend in Chicago. Having never stayed at the InterContinental, we were initially concerned that this hotel would offer what we were hoping for to enrich our time together and our celebration. There were certainly no disappointments. The hotel is beautiful, rooms are clean, hotel personnel are professional and willing... more

This is a hotel that, for the most part, provides the standard 4-star experience. Rooms, in the more modern tower where I stayed, are presentable and dependable, but unremarkable in most respects. There's little sense of luxury about the place, although that might not be the case for rooms in the historic tower. Some might find them a little on... more

If you are looking for a hotel that is truly in the best location, the Intercontinental is it--right on the Magnificent Mile, next to the Chicago River, across from the Wrigley Building. My daughter and I stayed here for a getaway, and quickly were able to get to Milennium Park, shopping, Navy Pier, great dining, exploring festivals and strolling through... more

We had a superb suite in the Historic Tower, it was extremely spacious and comfortable. The staff, from the trainee check in clerk onwards, were very helpful. The buffet breakfast was extensive and of good quality and was easily the best we had on this visit to the U.S.. The location at the south end of the Magnificent Mile was... more

The Intercontinental Hotel is centrally located in dwontown Chicago. It was walking distance to Navy Pier, Grant Park, Rush Street, and of course is located right on Michigan Avenue. The staff was extremely friendly and the rooms were clean. The valet parking was also very convienvent. For our next trip to Chicago we plan on staying at the Intercontinental. more
