Reviews for The Gwen, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Michigan Avenue Chicago
Can’t say enough about the amazing staff
Had an amazing week at the Gwen and can’t wait to go back. The hotel is perfectly located and very nicely designed and blends in perfectly with the Chicago architecture and aesthetic. Lobby has a nice energy to it and good dining options. Service from Ramon at the concierge desk may be the best I’ve ever experienced at any property. He’s a Chicago native whose love for the city shows and he kept our family perfectly scheduled with activities and insider experiences throughout the week. Luigi at the front desk also went out of their way to address all our needs and provide concierge level service. Room was nicely designed and service was smooth and seamless throughout the stay.

Great Bday Experience for My Mom!
Today is my mom’s birthday. We’d done some shopping and wanted a quick drink. Well, she specifically wanted a margarita. The team at Upstairs was phenomenal. Judie found us a place to sit when it was clearly packed and they had reservations. Mayra took 100 pics of me and my mom, and ensured we had good lighting, and Cecil brought my mom the best birthday treat. Overall, this team is thoughtful, kind and accommodating. I’m so grateful to them for a wonderful time. Thank you! Come here if you’re looking for a good atmosphere and great service!

Amazing Experience, Five Stars!!
I loved my experience at The Gwen! It was only my second time in Chicago, and first time on a personal trip. Luigi, the staff member who checked me in, was extremely welcoming and helpful, recommending amazing local places to visit. The location was prime, with shopping and food all around and the train nearby. The room was absolutely gorgeous, clean, and quiet despite being in a popular area. When I visit Chicago again, I would book at The Gwen in a heartbeat!

Great service and friendly staff
Marla and Judie were wonderful! Very friendly and great at what they do. Marla even helped me figure out how to get my phone charged that was about to die. And Judie was super on top of handling our large group.
