My husband and I brought my mom to the Drake in March of '08 to celebrate her 60th birthday. The great thing about The Drake during the winter, is you're able to get fantastic rooms for unbelievably reasonable prices. I believe our two club-level rooms overlooking Lake Michigan were less than $200 a night. The rooms were de rigeur for... more

There are so many problems with this hotel it's not even funny. First, the rooms are horrendous. They're lime green with wallpaper from the 70's. Not at all what you see on the website. It's like checking into the Four Seasons and then staying in a room at the Motel 6. The room that they show on their website is... more

We chose this hotel because there was an online special from hotels.com. What a surprise to find such a fabulous hotel with character and elegance for such a small price. Our room was on the 7th floor which we were told had been recently renovated. It was very nicely furnished and had a large flat screen television. There was a... more

Stayed here 5 nights while in town for a convention. This is a lovely old-school hotel with large guest rooms and plenty of history (see the press kit on the hotel website for a list of past guests).

I was visiting Chicago for the first time and had heard so much about the Drake hotel. I told my boyfriend that I had wanted to stay there so he surprised me and booked us a room there.

From the building itself, the linens, the service, to the couch in the elevator, everything was beautiful. The hotel thankfully was up to our cleanliness standards. We've found sometimes the... more

Recently stayed at the Drake in Chicago while attending a conference. the staff from top to bottom was polite, cheerful and attentive to our needs. The room was well appointed and maintained, quiet and comfortable. The in house restaurants are pricey but comparable to others in the area. The combination of a delightful staff with this grand dame hotel made... more

This is a lovely hotel, I was here on business, and will go again some time in the future. I was a single female alone, and nothing was too much trouble, staff were attentive and rooms were lovely and clean, well located more

We had a wonderful stay at the Drake Hotel. The facility is in impeccable condition, and the service is top notch. We both agreed that the bed was the most comfortable we had ever slept in! As a suggestion, park in the Drake Tower Garage to the East of the main entrance for $30/night. more
