The Gwen is a beautiful hotel. It was beyond comfortable and the staff was very attentive. It is perfectly located on the Magnificent Mile and is attached to the Nordstrom’s. I have to give a shoutout to Luigi at the front desk he was super helpful and incredibly kind.

What a DELIGHTFUL experience! Judie greeted us so warmly and could not have been more attentive and lovely. She genuinely made our experience a 10/10 and we can’t wait to come back. Juan was attentive and so friendly. Amazing experience for first rooftop drink of the season! Can’t wait to come back

Absolutely lovely experience! Rin (Catherine) our server and hostess (Judie) were so kind and helpful. Great HH deals, love the rooftop view and fires to keep ya warm when it’s still a bit cool. Only reason not 5 star is because the sauv blanc bottle we ordered was not very chilled when we received it. But on ice it was fine after a glass :) got charcuterie and Brussels…. Delicious appy vibe! Thank yewww!!

My husband and I came to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Immediately upon check-in, Luigi at the front desk greeted us with red carpet treatment. He upgraded us to a bigger room and gave us a voucher for a free breakfast (which was delicious!) He also gave us many restaurant recommendations and offered to make us a reservation. He was generous, helpful and so nice! We so appreciate his hospitality and enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room itself was spacious and very comfortable and clean.

Checking in was an absolute pleasure and Luigi was a phenomenal host. This is the first time that my lady has been to Chicago and he made her feel extremely welcome. In fact check-in was a lot of fun.
