Loved this hotel! All the accommodations were top notch. Centrally located. The “Upstairs at the Gwen” bar was great. Judie was especially lovely. She helped us feel welcome and answered all our questions. Her bright hospitality was a highlight of our stay!

Meredith literally made my stay! The first day I came to the lobby restaurant for lunch and got a last minute call that made have to take my lunch with me. She immediately offered to box it, had it done in one minute with separate boxes for the fish and the salad, and all the extras separate. The next morning I came down for breakfast and was trying to decide what to order and she patiently explained what came in each plate, asked me for my preferences and asked me if I needed to rush the order (she remembered me from the prior rushed day!) It came right away and again, with the best service I’ve had at a hotel. 5 stars!

I would just like to mention my sales contact at The Gwen, Katherine Ramos. We had our host hotel for a leadership meeting sell out their hotel without contacting me and I was desperate to put 6 employees traveling from all over the US into a close hotel so they had a room and Katherine went out of her way to help me get them rooms and was the most helpful hotel sales person I have ever dealt with so our next meeting is going to be held at The Gwen, not only a beautiful hotel but great employees to make meeting seamless so I highly recommend this hotel for large events or a beautiful place to stay while visiting Chicago.
