Named one of the Best Hotels in Chicago 2016 by Travel + Leisure, The Gwen, a Luxury Collection Hotel is located on the Magnificent Mile in the landmark McGraw-Hill Building within walking distance to many of Chicago attractions and the Loop. The reimagined icon is adorned with panels created in 1929 by sculptress Gwen Lux, the hotel's namesake. Embracing her artistic spirit, the 311-room hotel, featuring 32 suites, also celebrates the energy and glamour of Chicago in the 1930s.

Luigi did a fantastic job. We appreciate his courtesy and professionalism very much. We made a series of complicated reservations and he straightened it all out efficiently.

Service was excellent. Hotel is amazing. Food is elevated and the drinks are unique delicious and some modern takes on classics. Our hotel ambassador LUIGI was sooo helpful even though he is a Packers fan. Highly recommend a visit. Thx

Very comfortable property. All the staff were very nice. Great location for shopping and seeing the sites. Complimentary tickets to John Hancock 360 experience was a huge plus. Really enjoyed that. Restaurant, bar and lobby area were nice place to hang out.

The Gwen is a lovely hotel in a fantastic location, just off Michigan Avenue, just north of the river in downtown Chicago. And if the high-end North Bridge Mall is open, you can walk through to get right onto the Magnificent Mile. More than the beautiful atmosphere, spacious rooms and sumptuous bathrooms, though, are the dedicated and helpful staff. At our recent stay, Darcel, Judie, Annabelle, and Juan were attentive and personable—making our stay above and beyond. We will definitely return on our next trip.

Luigi and Jason were very helpful during check-in with many tips about where to eat and transportation. We were here for the Bears game and this stay made a big difference in the whole experience. We got to enjoy the Christmas lighting event and the parade as well. The room is clean and spacious. The staff at the rooftop bar was very courteous and seated us quickly. The breakfast and the afternoon bites are pretty good, with good selections of cocktails and beverages.
