The hotel

Step inside Virgin Hotels Chicago and find your new favourite space - where the doors are never closed and the minds are always open to surprise and delight. Offering home-from-home comfort, guest rooms are of the utmost importance, divided into two separate areas – a dressing room and sleeping lounge – and packed to the hilt with mod-cons, including complimentary unlimited WiFi. Eating and dining is something you’ll want to make the most of whilst on holiday and at the hotel we’ve got a variety of restaurants to tempt you. Soak up the private members vibe at The Commons Club, home of the hosted cocktail hour or catch your breath over a coffee at TwoZeroThree, a Euro-style coffee house. Stargazers should make a beeline for the Rooftop Bar Cerise and indulge in craft cocktails and small bites. If you want some inspiration for your trip, the hotel app shares locals’ favourites (and allows you to control the thermostat in your room, order room service and more).

I arrived extremely ill and jet-lagged, so grateful for an extraordinarily comfortable room and bed. Antoine took care of my luggage and recommended the nearest place to buy new pajamas, while LaTisa cheerfully stayed past the end of her shift to ensure that I could book an addional night. Their kindness, care, and friendly attitudes went well above and beyond my expectations, ensuring that I'll highly recommend this hotel to any friends visiting Chicago. The place is great, but it's always the people who make the difference. These folks are exceptional. Read less

Nice hotel, food isn't that good and expensive and they don't give you water you must bring your own or buy it. Otherwise it was a good stay, I felt safe in the hotel and the staff is nice. IF they can fix my above comments then i would rate them higher

The staff is kind and accommodating and will you out of their way to ensure you are taken care of. Chad, at the front desk, even went out of his way to trade in my cocktail voucher for a breakfast voucher when I missed the open course of the lobby and rooftop bars. Will definitely be staying here during my next trip to Chicago! Read less

The shower was horrendous. Water was either cold or scalding hot. I called guest services and they said they would send someone up to address the issue but nothing improved. I was in town for work so was out all day and couldn’t hang around to ensure that the issue was addressed. I stayed for three nights and the shower was absolutely awful every single time I used it. Will not be staying here again. Read less

We loved our stay here. The hotel has plenty of options for food, drink etc. and ambiance is comfortable and calming. We found the staff to be especially friendly and helpful. Danny and Darrell at the front desk personally helped us out with a room upgrade. Highly recommend staying here, great location in downtown..very walkable to many things.
