The Drake is a wonderful hotel with tons of charm. The staff was always very friendly and helpful providing tips for getting a bus card or an umbrella when it was raining. It was a wonderful location, not far from the metro and very close to the bus stop I needed to get to my conference. It’s also right next to the water.

This hotel is relatively classic. Some people may think it is old, but in fact I like it very much because the scenery and location are very good, and the hotel has a very historical background and the overall atmosphere is very good.

This is an old-money style hotel. I like the style of the lobby. It is located near the Magnificent Mile, so it has a great location.

The Drake is a Grand Dame venue: wide hallways, spacious rooms, upscale toiletries, smooth sheets, vast lake views, gracious staff, sparkling chandeliers, burgeoning floral arrangements. Just a few feet off the Mag Mile, The Drake has the best location for shopping: steps from Bloomingdale’s, American Girl, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany’s, Nordstrom.
