Ordinarily I book the W hotel whenever I travel to Chicago on business, but this time I wanted to try the James hotel, this time I was traveling on a mini break with my partner. I actually booked the room on Hautelook.com and got a great offer. The Hotel is very conveniently located and hosts a David Burke's Primehouse. I... More

Really enjoyed our stay at the James. It seemed thoughtfully designed throughout, and most everything was pretty top-notch. The lobby is comfortable, although the bar there was a little understaffed and closed relatively early for a weekend. Our room was very nice overall, with wonderful touches throughout, such as a very-nicely-upholstered chair and a really cool alarm clock and nicer... More

My friends and I spent a weekend at the James. It was a perfect location one block from the magnificent mile where we did a lot of shopping and right near many restaurants. The concierge staff was helpful in all ways, finding restaurants and suggesting how to get around during the NATO summit. The desk also let me into our... More

Stayed here in May 2012 and we loved it, The location is fab, just a few short steps from the Magnificent Mile where there are loads of great shops. There are also a wide selection of restaurants within walking distance (Asian restaurant Sunda is only a few blocks away and was definitely the highlight for me). We received a very... More

Great location on the river north side of the city. Only had on eproblem with service which was corrected. We arrived in the city for a convention around 930 am and our room wasnt ready(understandably), but the front desk clerk had a bellman check our luggage in and off we went to work. When we returned around 430pm, our room... More

Upon check-in we were upgraded to a "larger room"...great! However, we found that our upgrade was actually a handicapped room. First of all, not being informed or not stating this upon check in is one of my peeves. Some probably like getting a larger room no matter what. Handicapped rooms are arranged differently (rightly so) with wheelchair access into showers... More

The James is a 5 min walk from Michigan Avenue and the nearest underground station. The room was beautiful & luxurious, it had a large bathroom, the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. We returned from a hard day shopping with achy feet and beyond exhausted, to find our bed turned down, the radio on and the lights... More

Great location, lovely staff. I always stay here when in in Chicago
