Old school, absolutely gorgeous building located at the bottom of the Magnificent mile. Just a short walk to the lake and minutes from the Magnificent Mile and fantastic shopping, it was ideal. The staff was wonderful and recommended a great family friendly pizza place in the nearby Gold Coast neighborhood, Lou Malnati's. The rooms where small but impeccably stylish. The... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night during May 2012. The hotel had a lot of old charm, such as the mail slot on each floor that you could drop letters in and they would slide down to the first floor, like a laundry chute! The lobby was a bit awkward because I am used to the modern... More

I went on a vacation with my mother on the weekend of 5/19 and stayed at the Knickerbocker for 2 nights, the rooms were super cute! very modern, but I had to give the hotel a 3 out of 5 because the customer service was less then okay. The bartenders ESPECIALLY were rude, unprofessional, and I would go as far... More

I stayed at the Millennium Knickerbocker for one-night in February. I live in Lincoln Park, but I wanted to have a "staycation". We arrived and were greeted by a fantastic front desk staff. They got me checked-in and gave me my room key promptly. We stayed in one of the hotels suites and it was fantastic. I loved the "older"... More

We just got back from our week of r n r in the "Windy City" and I am so glad we stayed at the Millennium Knickerbocker! At first I was kinda leary and unsure if I made the right decision of picking this hotel as it is our first time in Chicago, but all that changed when we saw the... More

Good city location, and although the service was very good, the hotel was only so-so.

Older landmark hotel with updated rooms. Very pleasant stay last Thurs and Friday nights. I was very comfortable and saved nearly $400 compared to the Drake across the street in just 2 nights! With that $$ saved I can buy my kids an iPAD! Food was good as well with room service. Better than I expected and I'd stay again... More

The hotel was lovely but the way the bathroom was designed was terrible, especially for women! The lighting in the bathroom was terrible. I would have had better luck putting my makeup on in the elevator, which was well lit. Also, the counter in the bathroom was very high, making it difficult to put makeup on from 3 feet away.... More

Traveling to a big city with young kids can be very difficult, but Millennium Kinckerbocker Chicago made it a little easier. Classic old hotel that has been updated very nicely. The one bedroom suite works great if you want a seperate area for the kids to sleep. (BEWARE OF THE ELEVATORS!! Tiny old elevators that have NO room for larger... More

We had a great 4 day stay over Mother's Day weekend. The hotel has great comfy beds and pillows. Our room was super quiet, which was great. Our view was not wonderful, but the friendly staff made up for it. It was a great location for walking. It was a great value in a sea of big chain hotels.
