"A Parisian-inspired Gold Coast address refreshed with a bright-white palette and magenta accents, greeted by a Swarovski chandelier, herringbone wood floors, and black-and-white pinstriped stone. Public spaces include the Peacock Lounge and a nearly unknown sister bar—an intimate champagne-and-cocktail boîte—while guest rooms feature oversized headboards and marble bathrooms. For a lavish experience, the newly redesigned Astoria Suite and Presidential Suite deliver sprawling, Parisian pied-à-terre–style accommodations with features like a fireplace in the primary bedroom." - Heidi Mitchell
"You'll feel instantly transported to a French chateau upon arrival at this Gold Coast retreat with all of the comforts of a luxury hotel with a personalized, boutique feel. A sleek charm and upscale amenities (most of the rooms have fireplaces and terraces) evoke a fairytale kind of feel year-round. Dedicated service, alongside a notable spa, restaurant, and cocktail lounge, all draw an array of travelers checking in for an elevated escape, from families to couples seeking romantic retreat. For sunset views over Chicago neighborhoods, opt for a West-facing room, while those jonesing for Lake Michigan views will do well with a room facing North or East. And if you’re looking to experience the property in big ways, consider one of their six residential suites, each boasting a fireplace, marble bathroom, and floor-to-ceiling windows." - CNT Editors
"Awarded one Michelin key as a property providing a very special stay, this Chicago Waldorf Astoria is recognized for classic luxury design, consistent high-quality service and comfort, and a distinguished character." - Stacey Lastoe
"One look at the huge English courtyard, or the museum-like marble lobby, and it’s clear that this is a full-scale luxury hotel all the way — especially since all this black, white, and polish gives off a dazzling Art Deco vibe. Fortunately, the hotel undercuts its potentially chilly elegance with outstanding service, for which no staff person is allowed to accept a tip." - The MICHELIN Guide
