Reviews for The Gwen, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Michigan Avenue Chicago
Excellent hotel and location worth the money for couple treat getaway
Amazing hotel for couples getaway. Rooms are large and spacious. Very clean and well designed. Staff were Friendly and helpful in all our requests. Location is amazing when visiting downtown with all the key places walking distance. Millenium park, navy Pier, shopping district. All 15-20 walk away. Getting to street is a little inconvenient having to take 2 elevators.

Best check in experience
Luigi at the front desk was the perfect balance of friendly and speedy check in. He made me feel so welcome. The hotel and room are beautiful. Could not ask for a better start to a stay. Was even able to get into my room early which was an unexpected surprise.

Excellent stay at The Gwen
Everything about this hotel experience was excellent! From the bellman to the front desk staff to the concierge, everybody was incredibly helpful and friendly. I arrived around 8 PM and was told that I had food and beverage, credits and free breakfast included in my rate. They upgraded my room, which was beautiful and left a bottle of wine and some cheese for me, which was a surprise! The room was very well appointed and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. I just wish I had an opportunity to stay longer because I was only there for one night.

Awesome Customer Service
Jeremy and Luigi was great. Customer service was awesome which made my stay wonderful. Definitely will return in near future. The rooms were well clean as well as the property. From time I checked in until the time I checked out, my experience was amazing. 5 star rating!

Nice hotel, perfect location
We stayed at the Gwen for my birthday trip to Chicago. It was the perfect location and the hotel and staff were all great. It was very clean, modern (but not ultra modern) and functional. I had some of the best french fries I've had in a long time there. It's a block from Michigan Ave and an easy walk to many places downtown, and an easy pick-up point for ubers (other than on the weekends when traffic is a little crazy). I would definitely go back again.
