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.

We had a wonderful time at the Gwen. We have an extended visit to Chicago every year and the Gwen never disappoints. Special commendation to Jordi and Luigi for being especially helpful. It’s remarkable how Jordi greets you by name days after checking in- a truly great experience.

Excellent service from the front desk at the time we checked in. Rooms are spacious and so is the bathroom. May need a refresh , carpet seems old and some tech features would be nice.

Stayed at the Gwen during a recent trip to a trade show in Chicago. Parking was easy in the parking garage across the street when I arrived. Checked was very professional and the Host was very polite. Room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable!! Rooftop bar is very nice with gas fire places. Doormen were very friendly and polite. Overall excellent stay!! Side note: If staying here I recommend Joe’s Prime Steak and Stone Crab for dinner location across the corner from the hotel! Just make sure you have a reservation!

We came here to celebrate our friend’s birthday and had the BEST time thanks to Kayla, our server! She was so fun, super attentive, and really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Kayla’s energy made the night even more special and honestly elevated the whole experience. She’s the kind of server that makes you want to come back again and again. If you go, definitely ask for Kayla, you won’t be disappointed!

Everything about our stay was great! The location was convenient for exploring downtown and the room was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Luigi (thanks for the perfect pizza rec!).
