Recommended Trip type: All Others "Spectacular"

Reviewed by Richard of Ft. Thomas on Nov 15, 2009

Can't say enough good things about the Peninsula Chicago. Our room was perfect and we had a beautiful view of Michigan Ave. Everyone at the hotel was extremely nice and several knew us by name, which I was impressed with since we were there only three nights.

Not recommended Trip type: Family "Too expensive"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 31, 2009

The Peninsula is an older hotel that is much more expensive than other 5-star hotels in the area. It combines a classic and Oriental style. The service is very good, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The tub and shower were luxurious. For the price, I was surprised that they have older Sony Trinitron CRT TV's in the room.

The Peninsula Chicago is a top notch hotel and you pay top notch prices to stay there. I would recommend it to anyone who will take full advantage of the spa and other facilities. The location just off the Miracle Mile makes it convenient to shopping and numerous restaurants.

When we booked, the Peninsula was rated as a five star hotel. Our experience there showed us exactly why the hotel has received that rating. If ever a hotel deserved five stars, the Peninsula in Chicago does. Absolutely marvelous.
