Our second stay here - not disappointed We thought that the $90 breakfast was a bit too high to pay for what we got for two people. We saw other plates delivered about 15 minutes after ours were more substantial. The offerings on ours were pretty thin. The service and every single staff person that we encountered were top drawer. The room was immaculate. Definitely would come back here again.

one of the best hotels I have stayed at in Chicago. Great staff. Great restaurant and rooftop bar on the fifth floor. Location is within walking distance of most everything on Michigan Ave. Room was great , bathroom great, beds great. Would and have already highly recommended this hotel to several people. The only suggestion I have is with the shower products. Accessibility to the pump on the shower products is difficult to pump . If the bottles were a little higher in their holders you could pump the soap out easier , but all of the guests in our room had the same issue with the soap dispenser. Its a small critique , but you should know , thats why you are asking. Great job Gwen

Gwen stayed at The Gwen Loved this hotel!!! I picked this hotel because I needed a place to stay in Chicago and because of its name. My name is Gwen and I loved staying here. I loved the rooms, location (it is walkable to everything even the water taxi on Michigan), and the easy access to parking. I can’t wait to stay here again.

I wouldn’t stay here if you are looking for a 5-star hotel experience. Amenities were lacking on the property and in the rooms, service was mediocre-poor and the rooms are fine but slightly run down. Feels more like a basic, massive chain 4-star hotel than a “luxurious” experience. Wouldn’t stay here again, unfortunately - completely overpriced and I’m surprised that this is considered to be in the 5-star hotel category.

This was our 3rd stay at The Gwen. Check-in, room, comfort and staff all great as they’ve been in the past. However, our brunch on Sunday was very overpriced relative to what it was, and it seemed hard to get a reservation despite the fact that it was almost empty when our time came. I tried on a Couple of occasions over the weekend to get drinks at the bar and gave up due to a long wait. I’ll maybe return not sure yet.
