The Four Seasons Hotel Chicago occupies the 30th through 46th floors of a Gold Coast high-rise, placing guests high above city noise with panoramic views of Lake Michigan. Rooms deliver classic luxury with plush pillow-top beds, neutral decor, and marble accents, backed by attentive service. However, some guest bathrooms feel tight on space, and room rates are among the steepest in the neighborhood. 2161712

Value5 mentions
- “I have stayed at both the Peninsula and the Park Hyatt and really like both. The PH can be a real bargain.” 8
- “The elevators were just upgraded, and they're fast, worth noting, because that's not always the case in older high-rise hotels.” 21
- “I stayed for three nights in late-November 2020. This is a great location to be based at when visiting Chicago. The hotel is located a half block west of Michigan Ave with easy access to transit, restaurants at all price points, shopping, museums, the lakefront and Navy Pier.” 23
- “During my stay I received dining credit by booking through American Express Fine Hotels and Resorts. As expected it wasn't cheap but it was excellent.” 23
- “While the Premier Suite might only make sense for a special occasion given its price tag, the Lake View rooms are not exorbitantly expensive (especially when compared to hotels in cities like New York or San Francisco), and I'd definitely opt to stay there in the future.” 20
Food26 mentions · 1 filmed
- “I was very impressed with their customer service during our most recent stay. We loved our room, the restaurant, the location - all was fabulous.” 21
- “And don't worry - for those with picky eaters, there is a nice children's menu with familiar comfort foods they will love.” 13
- “Pendry Chicago - Stylish and welcoming, it blends historical architecture with modern comforts, communal lounge areas, and standout dining including a rooftop bar.” 1
- “I'll say it right away - the dessert sampler awaiting us in our suite was a very welcome (and delicious) sight - and delayed dinner by several hours. Each treat was carefully chosen to balance each other out - from macarons to cupcakes and more.” 19
- “Don't miss the chance to dine at Adorn, an elegant room just beyond the lobby where the team serves a menu rooted in wellness (e.g. heirloom salads, sustainable seafood, grilled meats-plus the occasional indulgence found in truffle fries or prized desserts from pastry chef Yudith Bustos).” 9
- “Peninsula is the go to option. Great location, accommodations and dining.” 8
- “Kids Eat Free and Don't Forget the Tea: Reagan dined with us at the hotel's restaurant, Allium, gratis the entire weekend during meals. Although the service was slow at times, the food was very good and the children's menu was accommodating.” 4
- “Recently completed a stay at the Pen Chicago, but prefer the PH Chicago (post reno). Better rooms (although that's quite subjective), excellent service and great breakfast.” 8
- “The Peninsula Chicago - A luxurious choice featuring a lakeside pool, rooftop ice rink (in winter), sky lobby, and excellent dining and spa facilities.” 1
- “Food We didn't eat at Adorn (the hotel's restaurant), although I did grab a coffee there with the GM and the service was great. We mostly did in-room dining, and it was good: arrived quickly, nicely presented, and nicely done (I may have eaten most of my son's french toast sticks).” 21
- “The Four Seasons Hotel Chicago is directly attached to one of the larger malls on Michigan Avenue, the 900 building, that houses an anchor Bloomingdales among several other restaurants and shops. The hotel has direct access to the shops from the lobby elevators, so even on a blustery day you can still shop with ease.” 4
- “Suites have doors that separate living from sleeping quarters, but even the smallest rooms have a residential feel with armchairs, matching ottomans, and circular dining tables.” 9
- “Before you call it a night, previous guests highly recommend sitting down to a meal at Adorn, where diners are treated to fresh, farm-to-table Midwest cuisine.” 3
- “In contrast to the plating at Adorn on our first morning, the room service cart was picture-perfect. Most was tasty (though I don't know why I keep ordering bagels outside of New York City or Montreal) and provided a solid start to our last day in town.” 18
- “Located on the seventh floor of the Hotel, the chef-driven new American restaurant has secured accolades for its standout fare and curated five-course tasting menu.” 17
- “speaking of room service you can also order ice cream directly to you all delivered in a cute ice cream cart allowing you to make take your very own sunde thank you so much you're welcome this looks amazing” On camera148:52
- “On that note, let me give Adorn Restaurant the credit it is due! We enjoyed dinner and brunch at the restaurant and were absolutely blown away by the food at both.” 5
- “Chef Richard took us into the bustling kitchen to a counter specially prepared for her to create her pizza. There were toppings galore and a friendly chef to supervise. We ate the pizza the next day for a late breakfast, and it was delicious.” 19
- “During my stay I received dining credit by booking through American Express Fine Hotels and Resorts. As expected it wasn't cheap but it was excellent.” 23
- “The weekday à la carte breakfast was not mind-blowing. I ordered the wagyu hash and found that - I can't believe I'm complaining - there was too much wagyu (it was also somewhat soupy). The presentation was surprisingly lackluster for my wife's bacon, eggs, and mushrooms, which had been simply tossed on one side of a too-large plate.” 18
- “There was a fitness center and a gym within the hotel, several large ballrooms (perfect for weddings!), and an incredible restaurant called Adorn that is absolutely going in my Best of Chicago Restaurants guide.” 5
- “The weekend buffet was spectacular, one of my favorites so far ($49 for adults, $26 for kids 12 and under, and kids under 5 free).” 18
- “Well, Four Seasons Chicago hits a home run by serving Intelligentsia coffee, a local coffee roaster that is a known near and far. In the lobby, choose from coffee or a fresh espresso in the machine - both were welcome additions to my morning.” 19
- “I had breakfast there every morning and its comfortable and good food.” 8
- “I personally have always preferred the Peninsula for the aesthetic, service and breakfast.” 8
- “With views over the lake, you can enjoy a meal of gourmet farm-to-table regional fare in an elegant location.” 10
Bathroom8 mentions · 1 filmed
- “The bathroom at this hotel was still miles better than 90% of the hotels I've stayed at, but there were a couple of nits to pick. It always took a couple of minutes for the water pressure to build up enough for a shower, perhaps because we were on the 38th floor in a nearly 40-year-old building.” 18
- “Spacious bathrooms with marble counters, Le Labo amenities, and plush terry cloth bathrobes to wrap up in post-shower.” 9
- “Finally, perhaps related to the water pressure issue, we discovered that the toilet didn't always flush fully, leaving occasional surprises for the next person.” 18
- “this is their bathroom right over here they do have a combination of the tub and the standin shower so right over here and of course their bath robes they luxurious bath robes right over here” On camera154:34
- “Guest rooms also flaunt stunning marble bathrooms, offering Le Labo bath products for you to use during your visit.” 22
- “The Executive Lake View Suites feature a separate soaking tub and glass enclosed shower, which I appreciated.” 25

- “I'm starting to think the bathrooms are the weakest part of a Four Seasons experience. The bathroom at this hotel was still miles better than 90% of the hotels I've stayed at, but there were a couple of nits to pick.” 18

- “The main bedroom has a comfortable king-size bed and gorgeous desk that stretches along the entire wall opposite the bed.” 13
- “One morning, we invited our friends and their baby to the suite for a decadent room-service breakfast. The French toast was to die for, and later that night, we dined at Adorn and enjoyed the melon and burrata salad and double wagyu cheeseburger.” 20
- “The rooms were everything you'd expect with the Four Seasons name: luxurious, spacious, and stunningly decorated. Our room faced west and we thoroughly enjoyed the view at all the various times of day.” 5
- “Previous guests love the elegant decor, which combines contemporary fittings (like flat-screen TVs) with 20th century-inspired design accents and spacious marble bathrooms.” 3
- “The suite itself was also an ideal place to get ready for the festivities, with two gorgeous bathrooms outfitted with Le Labo products (my favorite).” 20
- “When it's time to bed down, this Four Seasons hotel's well-appointed accommodations provide a comfortable escape.” 3
- “For stays that exceed three days, we highly suggest booking one of the hotel's suites, particularly a Deluxe Four Seasons Executive Suite. These elegantly decorated, 575-square-foot spaces are located between the 32nd and 45th floors, providing optimal views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan.” 22
- “Still, as with most Four Seasons, you could be in Chicago or Toronto or Boston. That said, the property is beautifully maintained, with massive fresh flower arrangements, lots of marble, and sleek, contemporary decor throughout.” 21
- “The beautiful furniture, crisp linens, colorful art, marble bathroom, luxurious robes, and (Malin + Goetz) amenities were perfect accoutrements to a cocooning getaway.” 19
- “We all know that attention to detail means nothing is left out - and indeed, we wanted for nothing. Our room was a corner suite with incredible views, from Lake Michigan to the ball park to city streets as far as the eye could see.” 19
- “I was very impressed with their customer service during our most recent stay. We loved our room, the restaurant, the location - all was fabulous.” 21

- “Stylish furniture meets classic and contemporary with graceful lines that complement the hotel's architecture.” 12

- “I knew we'd be in a prime location for much of what the city's known for, especially for a first-timer like our son.
