Checked in this afternoon for our stay at The Gwen in downtown Chicago. The hotel is in a great part of town and within walking distance to many attractions. Upon check in, Luigi gave us some advice on getting around the city. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It was the perfect start for our trip. Thanks, Luigi! You are awesome!!!

Love this hotel. Luigi was my check in ambassador and was exceptional. He was courteous and so helpful with the check in process. Henna also was also an amazing concierge. We will be back soon.

Went to Tipsy Tea at the Gwen. Gloria and Judie were both so nice and provided amazing service during our whole tea. The chia and peach teas were amazing and tasted great mixed together as well. The savory treats on the tower were all great. Wish there were less desserts and more savory food on the tower. Overall great price for a tea in the city.

Me and my girls came out for Tipsy Tea and we loved it. Judie and Gloria were very attentive and answered all of our questions. Judie checked on us multiple times to be sure we had everything we needed. We do wish there was more savory on the tower but all the food was good. They both made the experience great. We will definitely come back!
