Silversmith Hotel & Suites - Chicago

Loops trains run by the building at the second floor, so make sure you ask for a room on the upper floors of the front or on the back. Simple, quiet hotel, and well located in the Loop.

Everyone was very friendly at the hotel, and the amenities were very good. The televisions were a bit archaic and the room service was not the most savory I've ever had in my life, but service was prompt and everything was clean, spacious, and inviting. Overall very comfortable and enjoyable stay!

I loved everything about this hotel; it is quaint but the staff friendly and helpful. The rooms are good sized and the windows are HUGE. I plan to return to Chicago with my family and we will stay here.

The online review misrepresented the hotel. I would not classify it as high as it is.

Enjoyed it very much. Everyone was very attentive and courteous.

Friendly staff; fantastically comfortable bed and attractive Prairie style decor throughout; appreciated having free computer access in lobby and copies of TimeOut to check events, etc. Convenient location with easy access to art museum, theater, music events, and to public transport which is frequent, easy to use. Liked upper floor location to avoid […] public transport noise Read more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Silversmith last week and hope to return.

The room was very comfortable. We had a problem with the refrigerator freezing our fruit, which they immediately handled. Locater ten feet from the four trains on the Loop. Wonderful to walk in downtown Chicago. Very good value. Extremely accomodating staff both in reception and in maid service. We will stay there again.

The Silversmith is a great Chicago hotel. Its' location is super convenient to Millineum Park and some great Michigan Avenue restaurants. It's clean and quiet. My only complaint is that I booked a double room MONTHS in advance, but got to my room to discover it was really a King Suite. We were traveling with a large group and this happened to most everyone […] in the group that booked a double room. However, some people were told at check-in they were getting a King Suite and were provided free breakfast to compensate for the change, while others did not discover they were given a King Suite until they arrived at their room, and they did NOT get the free breakfast vouchers. That's an issue with inconsistent service. Also, I called a week in advance to verify I'd be getting a double room, and I did not get one. My choice was to share a bed with someone I didn't know very well, or to sleep on a pull-out sofa. Several in our party were not happy. Read more

Very nice and clean room. Large bathroom area. They wouldn't allow a late checkout but would check your luggage after you do check out. It is next to the "L" train, but the sound is quite muffled. It sounds like strong wind. Could use updated TV's. I would stay there again.

Dont let the front door confuse you. This is a great place to stay. Very good service with nice staff. Good location with most services within walking distance. Safe at night when walking when going out to eat

This hotel is smack dab in the middle of nearly everything you would want to do when staying in Chicago. Shopping, Restaurants, the Symphony, Millenium and Grant Park, the Sears Tower. We walked to all of these with no problem. Walking to the museum/acquarium campus was a little far, but certainly doable, and you can walk right by the river most of […] the way. Every hotel personnel I met greeted me friendly, from the front desk clerk, to the valets, all the way to the maintenance guy I shared an elevator with. If you ask the front desk, they may give a free upgrade to a suite, which they did to me. The only negative things were the quality of the sofa and bed. I can honestly say they are the same quality beds you'd find in a Best Western or Super 8, which disappointed me. Also, the TV was a 27" tube tv, which surprised me. Only 26 tv channels were available when I was there, but I suppose that wasn't too bad. Bathrooms are spacious and clean, water flow is good with good shower heads. There was no noise from the El Train because we asked to be put in the back of the hotel. You cannot bring any outside alcohol into your room, or they will charge a fee for each bottle they find. I'd definitely stay here again, but it's just too bad the beds aren't softer. Read more

Best time and service. Location is just perfect. I would def come back

The staff is friendly and easy to communicate with. The room was very clean and reasonable for the price. We were there for the weekend, and found some of the restaurants nearby were closed on Staturday night because of the office building area.

This is a wonderful gem in Chicago! It is right next to the "L" and within walking distance to The Art Institute. This boutique hotel is a historic landmark. The staff was incredible.

Location, location, location-perfect small hotel near Millenium Park, CTA stations, with great reastaurants in the Loop area. Spacious, clean tastefully decorated rooms. Great staff-helpfull and accomadating. Highly recomended.

Nice hotel-would stay there again.

Great location. Right in the Chicago Loop area. The subway was practically next to the hotel's front door.

We spent four nights at the Silversmith and had a very good experience. The staff, the room, the location, the lobby all were perfect. I most definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to have a comfortable stay in a beautiful hotel near Millennium Park, the Chicago Art Institute, Soldier Field, the Field Museum, et.el.

Enjoyed my stay. The room was clean and comfortable not the greatest views but then again you're sleeping. Agree with previous review to try to get room as far away from elevated train if you like things a little more quiet. Biggest problem is finding this place because it is essentially just an entry way with a relatively small sign on the left heading […] south. I think they will need to solve this problem for infrequent visitors. Read more

I found the room to be very tidy and quiet. I could not hear surrounding rooms. The museum was very close to the Art Institute and other museums. I would stay there again when I return to Chicago.

Great location, fantastic people at desk and out front. There were at least 2 staff people out front at night to offer assistance. Room was clean and very comfortable, a great find in Chicago!!

Walking distance to shops, food, fun and theater. Right by the train but could barely notice inside. Room comfortable with Large bathroom . The staff is great. It was hard to find because the entrance is Just a door. Had to go around the block 2 times to find. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back here to stay.

Great hotel! Very friendly, helpful staff. It was within walking distance of most must see places. We will definitly stay here again!

Only real drawback, no Fox News Channel.

Stayed at the Silversmith overnight for a Blackhawks game. It is in a perfect location, a block away from State Street, walking distance to many many other attractions. It was a nice room with a comfortable bed. I would go back.

Awesome hotel, great location- in the center of everything that a tourist would want to do! The only complaint I have is that you can hear the L but we were so tired, it didn't really make a difference. On the positive side of that, the L stop is RIGHT there so you can get anywhere in no time. The price was amazing. Check in on foursquare and upgrade […] to a suite! Absolutely staying here again.

We had a perfectly pleasant overnight stay at the Silversmith. The room comfortable, quiet, and in fine condition, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the hotel's location is an easy walk to the Art Institute, Symphony Center, Millennium Park, Goodman Theatre (among others), the Lyric Opera, and the train stations. Breakfast at Ada's (adjoining) […] was also AOK, incl. great service. Read more

The room and service were lovely; however, my window faced the elevated railroad which made it noisier than expected. Lovely service in the downstairs restaurant (Ada's) too, and not expensive.

Be sure and ask that you are not on the street side. The"L" was noisy and annoying. Otherwise it was a nice hotel with friendly service. I would stay again, and ask to be in a room further from the street.

We will definitely stay here next time we're in Chicago. This was a fantastic hotel. The service was top notch, the room was spotless and VERY big, the shower had great pressure, it was quiet, and overall we were extremely pleased with our stay.

Staying here was a good experience. I would say the best aspect is the location of the Silversmith; it's very close to Millenium park and the trains. Its a straight shot from O'hare to the hotel on the train....and I think that during rush hour it takes about the same amount of time as a cab. Also, the room was very spacious and clean. Pretty modern […] look, no frills. Internet worked well. The bed was just ok. Read more

This was my first time in Chicago and I couldn't have asked for a better hotel! I am in law school and was traveling for a moot court competition at the 7th Circuit...talk about convenience! Blocks away from everything you could need/want, located in a fantastic part of the Loop, and extremely close to public transportation. Room was so nice and the […] staff were incredible! Thank you Silversmith!! Read more

This is one of my favorite hotels for Chicago. The redesign of this fabulous hotel back to original with some modern upgrades we absolutely beautiful. The room was very comfortable, the staff extremely helpful and friendly. I would recommend the Silversmith to all.

We we very pleasantly surprised at how beautiful and comfortable this hotel was for the price. We booked last minute to attend the Midwinter Dental Convention at the Mcormick. The staff was very accommodating and very nice.

Outstanding, beautifully restored 19th century historic building by premier Chicago architect David Burnham! Even with the elevated train next door, we didn't hear a thing from our room. Staff was very warm, excellent location, it is a gem we will book again! Palmer House a block away, lots of self-park garages (expensive but expected).
