Fabulous

Bed was so comfy, room size was perfect but that bathroom was awesome! Loved Miss Rickys and we enjoyed the happy hour in the bar. Noise level was pretty nonexistent other than the train in the morning. But did not hear neighbors above or next door. Will be back for sure!

The bed was very comfortable and I appreciated the bathroom vanity

The noise from the El train was distracting and kept me up but otherwise the location was great

Great place to stay in Chicago

The location is great, in the heart of Chicago, very close to all the main attractions. The hotel is awesome, very modern, and with all that you need from cafès and restaurants to room site in place. The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. I highly recommend it.

Had a wonderful stay at Virgin Hotels Chicago! We were celebrating my husbands birthday and the staff went out of their way to make it extra special. Great location, clean and comfortable rooms, would definitely stay here again.

We were on one of the upper floors and the music from the rooftop bar could be heard at times. Not a huge deal, but just something to keep in mind.

Great hotel, great staff!

The bed was comfy and the room was a nice size. The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance to many attractions. The staff are very service oriented which made our stay enjoyable.

The train track was near our room and it got very noisy.

Fantastic location, luxury accommodations.

Perfect location and if you drive, there is a parking garage next door at 60 E. Lake St. Couldn’t be more convenient! Very well-appointed accommodations. Appreciated the cotton balls, bathrobe, and yoga mat. The sliding door closes without a sound to separate sleeping area from bathing/dressing area, and the view of the Jewelers building is stunning.

You may need a white noise machine to block the sound of the L train breaking and making its way around a corner. But one in our party did not notice it.

My stay was perfect!

The location was perfect, just a short stroll from numerous attractions. The staff was exceptional, providing outstanding service throughout my stay. As a Christmas lover , I thoroughly enjoyed the Mariah Carey pop-up—it was an absolute delight! Overall, an amazing experience. Food was amazing as well.

I’d never stay with Virgin hotels again

Love the restaurant in the Virgin Hotel and love the coffee shop. Front desk was very nice.

The room was not worth the money. The bed was very uncomfortable the shower the water ran out and ran into the toilet room. The floors were soaked every time you took a shower.

We will definitely be back

The hotel is in the middle of everything and is a short 10min to the Starbucks Roastery! The rooftop was nice, the staff was friendly and the room and room view was amazing.

Clean and Cute

I loved how clean my room was upon arrival and how clean it even smelled. I also really appreciated the kettle in the room. The layout of the room is so cute and great for a solo stay. Oh and the bathrobe was a very nice addition!

At certain points in the middle of the night it would get pretty hot so I don't think I slept my best. The train was also by my window so a bit loud at times. Rooms could use an exhaust fan. The drinks at the bar on the 2nd level were super expensive and I missed out on the complimentary drink. A little voucher ticket for this would be nice to have upon arrival. I didn't get a restock of bath cloths during housekeeping. Overall just minor inconveniences.

Great first experience at Virgin hotels, will stay again

Good central location, close to everything and easy access to transportation, attractions, food, shopping. Well designed, cosy and comfortable rooms. Helpful friendly staff from front desk, housekeeping, concierge and valet. Well stocked toiletries and towels. No issue with downtown/train noise. Strong water pressure for shower. Comfortable bed and many pillows (both on the soft side though).

Cramped sleeping space. Not much room to maneuver or open suitcases. Lack of flat surface area to place items in the sleeping area. Inconsistent air conditioning temperature. Took a long time to adjust water temperature. City view was only the back of some buildings. TV channels could be improved. Could not find preloaded streaming apps on the TV.

Good hotel conveniently located

Friendly staff, small but ok gym, conveniently located (close to metro, shops, magnificent mile).

Booked room with breakfast included. However breakfast is not completely included as you get a 25 dollar voucher. Breakfast in general is more expensive than 25 dollars at this location.
