I would definitely recommend a stay at the Blackstone. The staff and service are simply wonderful. The hotel is in a great location. I was upgraded to a huge suite overlooking Lake Michigan. Be sure to ask for a room on the side of the hotel that will give you the best view. I'm typically into more modern decor, but... More

I stayed here for four days while attending a conference. The hotel is striking in design and character. The room was spacious and comfortable. The bed was great and the linens soft and comfy. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. But . . . those towels! Sorry designer or fancy decorator but those things were stiff and scratchy... More

Great appointments throughout--large mirrors with embedded TV and large showers with rain shower heads are a nice touch. Very comfortable beds. Clean and very spacious. Lobby with pool table is a relaxing space as well.

I stayed here because it had a special rate for a conference I was attending nearby - and after checking out their website I was really looking forward to my solo stay in what seemed like a luxurious & arty hotel. The hotel is definitely arty and visually stunning, with quirky furniture and modern rooms. They've done a good job... More

We stayed 2 nights on a weekend and had a great experience. The staff was very helpful and friendly on all occasions. The room was very nice with marble tiling throughout and a very comfortable bed. We were told the hotel was completely upgraded in 2008 and it certainly shows. We had a 7th floor room with a view of... More

Love/hate here. Gorgeous and recently renovated. Looked great. Enjoyed looking at the building. The bed was superb. The linen and towels were dingy. Holes in the linen. I wouldn't stay away because of this--everything else made up for it. Maybe they were trying to stay away from chemicals in the wash cycle, but I do at home and my linens... More

Be ready to pay for everything coming to this place, or any other 4-5 star hotel. We stayed for 3 nights. I came here to be close to a venue I needed to attend for a Real Estate Class. I've learned that staying in many 4 star hotels, you pay more, but you get much less. I'm going to start... More

I stayed here 4 nights for a workshop/conference and had a good experience overall. The hotel is a little bit far away from the action, but Grant Park is right across the street. However, I was on the 8th floor and could hear the train every night so it was somewhat difficult to sleep. The hotel decor is very unique.... More
