I stayed one night at the Fairmont at the end of Oct., 2008. For the price I found it to be a pretty average hotel experience. I booked a superior room and I did have a view of the lake. As it was an especially mild night and day for autumn in Chicago, I appreciated being able to crack open... more

A fine property with staff offering excellent hospitality. A kiss away from Michigan Avenue, in a peaceful location. Great city views, beautifully appointed, good choices of places on property to enjoy food and beverage. Especially loved Aria's eclectic menu (the Pacific cod was my favorite) and pampering service, and ate there two nights running. Fairmont Chicago proved a fine place... more

We traveled to Chicago on October 23 - 28, for a conference/vacation and were overwhelemed by the choices of hotels in the downtown area. After reading alot of reviews we selected the Fairmount and are really glad we did. It is in a great location for seeing Navy Pier, museums and other attractions. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and... more

We loved the San Francisco Fairmont and now we also love the Fairmont in Chicago! A big THANK YOU to the Chicago hotel for terrific service, lovely accommodations, and excellent location. From start to finish -- the stay was great. We had a very nice room on the 9th floor where it was quiet -- the floor plan places rooms... more

I stayed at the Fairmont during a professional conference. While I have to say that for a conference, some of the meeting rooms were too small, in terms of traveler's comfort the hotel is exceptional! I can't think of a single thing about my room that wasn't perfect. The accommodations were luxurious and the hotel is conveniently situated within walking... more

I would agree with all the positive recent reviews. We stayed here in July 08 and were very happy with the hotel. The room was well appointed, clean, spacious,and quiet. When traveling as a family, we are often staying in family hotels but decided to splurge a bit while in the city. However through joining the President's club, I was... more

The concierge was so helpful. Without hesitation they had the best recommendations for restaurants and attractions all turning out to be wonderful. They even gave us business cards for restaurants that did not take reservations so we could obtain preferential or immediate seating’s. Loved the health club at the back of the hotel. By joining the presidents club, it only... more

I was in Chicago, staying at the Intercontinental on Michigan Avenue, and had to change hotels abruptly when the Intercon lost my reservation for the last night of a conference I was attending. My secretary got me a standard room, last minute, at the Fairmont. I was skeptical and in a bad mood anyway via Intercon experience, but was very... more

Having stayed at other Fairmont's recently I was curious to see how the Fairmont Chicago stacked up and it passed the test without breaking a sweat. Unlike many others in the Fairmont chain this hotel isn't a heritage or historic landmark and so has a more modern feel. The design is somewhat retro 70's chic and at times it tries... more
