"Still the best"
My first stay at The Drake was in the 60s with my family. Today, the service, cleanliness and location are still the best in Chicago. My only gripe on this stay was the slow drain in the bathroom sink. The Drake is a Chicago landmark for good reason!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Reasonable"
Very nice stay. Because of bad weather we were forced to extend our stay for one night and were given a very reasonable rate for the additional night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Got a great rate in fantastic hotel"
Very prompt and courteous front desk service, beautiful room with wonderful furnishings. Only drawback is no free wifi. This is something most people come to expect. Even though I have a smartphone, it's nice to look at some things on a bigger screen.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"When in Chicago I always stay here"
1. One roll of toilet paper, is this bring your own? 2. Bathroom needs updating, old fixtures 3. Still the grand old dame, but agingGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"noisy employees"
The hotel was perfect...very clean&very comfortable...except for the fact that the employees were very loud&inconsiderate in the storage room next to ours which wasn't great for sleeping in....especially on Valentines Day weekendGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"40th wedding anniversary"
Wonderful time. Please give our special thanks to Sharon at the HH front desk for making the weekend getaway special.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A classic!"
From the benches in the elevators to gift shop, The Drake's ambience, service and attention to detail harken back to a time when nearly all were full-service hotels. Its location on Michigan Ave. at Lake Shore Drive has it perfectly positioned for easy access to the rest of the Gold Coast. A joy of a stay!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
Have stayed here on every trip to the city. Can't beat the price and location. Service is excellent. Will be a repeat customer.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Classy hotel"
Great location. Concierge desk was great as always. Everyone was nice and helpful from the doorman to the cleaning staff. Will be back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"it was worth the stay - I'll be back to the Drake"
I liked staying at the Drake because the sheets are comfortable, rooms are beautiful and clean, location of hotel could not be better plus the employees were very nice. The only problem was my room was next to some sort of utility room that buzzed all night. I was too tired to request a new room because I had a late check in anyway and didn't notice […] it until I was in bed. The noise stopped during the day but in the future, I would make sure I'm not in that room or request a room change. Being located next to an elevator or utility room is not uncommon for me when booking a room on hotel websites for a reduced price but it's usually not a problem when I ask for a new room.

Love this hotel..have always been pleased. The staff was so friendly and polite. However, bathroom floor dirty as well as carpet in room. Also..parking for one night at hotel costs were excessive!..Seems high for hotel patron. Good breakfast!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It's a good hotel to stay,very comfortable.I have a very bad experience with drinking water,i spent $25 for water over 18 hrs stay.It's very funny.Make money on something else like wine whisky or any other.Thanks.No more drake hotel for me.ThanksGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"We stay once per year"
We always enjoy staying at The Drake Hotel. This year we only had one washcloth, and the tub drained very slowly. Otherwise, we had a great time. The shops in the hotel are fun, and it is close to everything.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We had a good stay. But we had two rooms and they had not been properly cared for. One room was not completly cleaned when we checked in. Used shampoo bottles were still on sink. Hair in sink. TV changer did not work. Made the room feel unclean. In the second room one of the lights was burned out but when we called for maintenance it was taken care […] of. We still like the hotel and will return. We hope more attention will be given to the small details that make a big difference. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Drake . . wonderful for a couple nights stay"
Wonderful experience . . . much history here . . . room was fine . . . this is a charming place to stay. . . enjoyed in-house restaurants . . . definitely recommend for a 2 or 3 night stay . .. parking expensive at $56 per night. . . breakfast buffet exquisite, but not cheap . . . just a lot of memories here with celebrities . . . . but, wi-fi needs […] to be improved to be free and effortless. .... but truly enjoyed and would stay again.

"Great, classic, the way hotels should be."
Grandeur and comfort, all good. A classic, beloved landmark for all Chicagoans, and with reason. Oddly, good prices available, too! I mean, I paid $119!Genuine Expedia guest review
"perfect location"
It is always a treat to stay at the Drake!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel, odd breakfast"
The Drake is one of my favorite hotels in Chicago. Great location, staff, rooms do vary but generally more than adequate. My only complaint lies with the restaurant. I always look forward to eggs benedict, you always had the best. This time instead of being presented on an English muffin, it was on bread pudding. A most odd pairing. I will continue […] to stay at the Drake but will find another restaurant for breakfast. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Classic Hotel in a Great Location"
Room was very clean and spacious - staff was supremely helpful and responsive. If you are looking for a classic hotel with all the elegance and style, this is the place!Genuine Expedia guest review

"a beautiful room with a view"
I surprised my husband for his birthday and we stayed at the Drake. It is such an elegant and classy hotel! The staff was extremely friendly and gave us suggestions for restaurants and shopping. Our room had a view of the lake and at night it was beautiful. The Drake is close to all the shopping and restaurants you could want. Plus the band at The Palm […] Room was outstanding. This will be our hotel of choice for all future visits. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Couple's weekend"
We had a wonderful time but there were a few issues I would have called about had we stayed more than one night. The thermostat in the room was not working properly and the room was too warm. I tried to take a shower and there was more water coming out of the spout then the shower head. The tub filled up quickly and there was little pressure for my […] shower. But we had a beautiful view of the lake and Lake Shore Drive. I would give this hotel another try but make sure those few things are working properly before I settle in.

"The Drake is still the Drake"
It has been 20 years since we have last stayed at the Drake and the Grand Dame of Chicago Hotels hasn't lost any of her charm. The hotel is situated at the north end of the Magnificent Mile and our 6th floor room overlooked Michigan Avenue with easy access to shopping. The north side of the hotel faces the beach and Lake Michigan. Our kingbed room was […] large, spacious and comfortable. Tea and cocktails are served in the upper lobby in the afternoon. We spent time everyday in our favorite bar the Coq d'Orr with its warm wood and subdued lighting. Food is avilable here also. If seafood is your pleasure, the Cape Cod room is located at the northwest corner of the hotel. I don't think we'll wait another 20 years to visit again! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"five star experience for a fraction of the price"
We had such a romantic night at the Drake. We started out with tea at the Palm Court (pricey but very fun). Our room was lovely and huge. And our dinner at the Cape Cod room was like going back in time to another era. The prices are a fraction of the price of the Ritz but every bit as good service and ambiance. The staff was very friendly too.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Grande Dame of Chicago"
I loved the Drake. It is one of the few hotels left anywhere that is ideally situated, possesses all the amenities and has the ambience of a more genteel and classier era. If you like modernist boxy architecture, inadequate "minimalist" furnishings and bizarro cuisine this place isn't for you. The Drake is a classically beautiful and wonderful place […] to relax and enjoy a great city. Extra bonuses - great seafood restaurant, awesome bar, walking distance to fantastic restaurants, shopping and Northwestern University downtown campus. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
