My teenager's summation of the Whitehall was that it reminded him of the Tower of Terror -- which is perhaps appropriate since we were using DVC points to stay here. It is a historic property -- and as a result the halls are narrow and dim, the lobby is small, the elevators are very small (but fast), and the rooms... More

We stayed at the Whitehall for one night while attending the Chicago Symphony. It was the perfect hotel for our needs. The renovation was very impressive and the rooms were great. Not huge, but for downtown Chicago, very nice. Beautiful bathrooms with high end care products. Having 2 restaurants on sight was very appealing also. The staff was welcoming and... More

The hotel is not new, but it sure looks that way: all the furniture and bathrooms are gleaming. Half a block from the Miracle Mile and a short walk to the Loyola Water Tower campus (and the Water Tower). Our room was luxurious, though not overly large (which is not a drawback -- it's comfortable enough and certainly a fine... More

I took my husband to Chicago for his birthday thinking we'd spend a great weekend on the Magnificent Mile in a nice 4 star hotel with some old character. We were shockingly disappointed upon arrival. The hotel was so bad that we called Expedia 5 minutes after making it to our room to tell them to get us out of... More

I was only in Chicago for one night, and this was my first stay at the Whitehall. While the room was newly redecorated and very comfortable, it was the staff that made the difference.
