    A short guide to Magnificent Mile - River North

    Magnificent Mile, a part of Michigan Avenue from the Chicago River to Oak Street, appeals to tourists because of its flashy department stores and fancy restaurants. Several of the Windy City’s architectural wonders are here, including the John Hancock Center and the Old Chicago Water Tower. Just north of the Chicago River, River North is home to the city’s shopping, design, and gallery districts.

    The Public was one of the best hotel experiences that I have had. A friend had planned a birthday trip for me and had originally booked another property. However, at the last minute, a great price on Public popped up and the switch was made. And what a fortuitous switch it was! To start, the lobby is amazing, both architecturally and owing to the hot […] vibe of most of the people in it (the energy on Saturday night was infectious). The room was even better. It was quiet, comfortable, incredibly roomy, and the epitome of sleek and modern artistry. The lighting could be set to be soft and romantic or highly functional. The bathroom was so big that you could almost get lost in it! The crisp "whiteness" of it was stunning. In truth, this place is too nice to be "public" and should be limited to being "private"! We had wanted to try it for years...we will definitely go back whenever we can! Read more

    Nice clean modern hotel. The cheaper room lack comfort. Restaurant and bar is crowded and very noisy, but the food is good. This hotel attracts the younger crowd and is not a quiet place, parties in the rooms go the entire night. I had to change my very nice room, because of this issue, but was given a beatiful and quiet suite. Even in the suite no […] robe, slippers or shower gel. Read more

    As one would expect from an Ian Schrager hotel, the service was excellent and the attention to detail was superb (down to the way the continental breakfast was delivered in the morning and the availability of warm cookies and milk in the afternoon). While the lobby and restaurant bars are beautiful, the rooms lean toward minimalist. Clean and nicely […] appointed but minimal. A very hip looking and feeling hotel. Read more

    Had a wonderful stay at Public - I've been in the hotel when it used to be The Ambassador and I am blown away by the amazing renovation and redesign of the lobby, Pump Room and guest rooms. We used to live around the corner, so it was perfect for our return stay in the city. Concierge was very accomodating and drinks at the Library bar can't be beat. […] Guests should remember the hotel is an older building so rooms are on the smaller side, as are the bathrooms. Definitely comfortable, worth the stay. Read more

    The Public Hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Chicago for shopping, trips to the Museums, and great dinning! Dinning in the Pump Room is not to be missed.

    The Public Hotel is one of the hidden gems of Chicago. My wife and I booked this hotel using Expedia's Unpublished Rates. In the past we have had good luck and bad luck in the hotel that was chosen. This time around I think the Hotel Gods were shining upon us. As you first walk in the lobby there is an air of sophistication that envelops you, from […] the visual appointments to the hotel staff, the hotel gives off this vibe. The Public Hotel being one of the older historical hotels, there was a little trepidation that the rooms would be shoebox size. Upon approaching the room I noticed there wasn't a key slot for the room key. Instead of your traditional key slot the lock is operated via RFID. You just hold the key within close proximity of the sensor and the door unlocks. As my wife and I first walked in the room both of us were taken aback. This couldn't be the room that an Unpublished rate provided, we both thought to ourselves. We hurried inside before we thought anyone might catch the mistake. The room was a suite, with a very chic living area completely styled in all white. Next to the living area was our sleeping quarters equally decked out in all white with LED accent lighting. Upon checkout the next morning I didn't want to leave. I was ready to spontaneously book another night.....than my wallet quietly reminded me to sit down. Read more

We had […] great drinks (and some of the best calamari I've ever had) at the Pump Room on the ground floor, and coffee in bed first thing in the morning...overall the service and accommodations were excellent, and the best I've ever experienced in their price range.
