Expert reviews
“The 247-room Thompson Chicago has a Gold Coast address with the casual opulence and views — of both city and lake — to match. A stylish, splurge-worthy hotel with an excellent location, thoughtful perks and destination-style dining without having to leave your room.”
“Surrounded by historic mansions and top-shelf designer boutiques, Thompson Chicago is a cozy, stylish getaway in downtown Chicago. From the first step off the tony Gold Coast streets and into the industrial-turned-chic lobby, you are enveloped in an atmosphere that feels unmistakably cool.”
“The 247-room Thompson straddles the gap between trendy and cosy, opulent and relaxed. The superb onsite restaurant and location in Chicago’s historic Gold Coast district woo stylish types in town for nightlife, entrepreneurs in town for business and couples in town for a kid-free weekend.”

The location was absolutely perfect! Everything about our stay was perfect, especially for the cost of the room. We would definitely revisit and recommend this hotel!
We were not expecting to have to pay for the valet parking which was a little upsetting.

Our stay was good,
Great location, clean, functional
Since Hyatt bought this boutique hotel, they now charge $50 for early check-in (what??) and they no longer have coffee in the lobby in the morning. That was disappointing as we have stayed here many times. It doesn’t quite feel like a boutique hotel anymore.

A very enjoyable stay
The Thompson was recommended by a friend and we were happy we followed his lead. The location was brilliant, one block off Lake Michigan and Mag Mile. Bus stop nearby, Red line two/three blocks away. The room was generous, the interior modern. Really great bathroom. The staff was very friendly.

A lovely stay with a just okay sleep
Location, location, location AND staff
With the price of one nights stay, beds should be minimally Queen size. Over $500 night for two full-size beds.

Very good
We have stayed here a number of times! We love the location and the bar is always lively and fun! We will be back!
Unfortunately this stay we didn’t get the most desirable room. We had a view of the rooftop, air conditioner, etc. Since we only stayed for one night, we didn’t bother to ask to be moved. First world problems is how we felt. It is still one of our favorite places to stay in Chicago.

Awesome staff, cozy lobby vibes, clean stay.
We had a big hiccup with our air bnb and last minute had to change locations for our entire family but upon arrival the staff was incredibly professional and so helpful. They made our last couple days in Chicago a dream. We cannot recommend this hotel enough.
Breakfast at the Nico restaurant was sub-par. Food was not the best quality, staff was helpful and kind but for an $18 eggs dish I expected fresher eggs, potatoes, general quality for the price I was paying.
