We have stayed at The Gwen Hotel three times recently, in December, January, and February, and each visit has been absolutely incredible. It is hands down our favorite hotel in Chicago. The property itself is stunning. The Art Deco design is elegant yet warm, the rooms are beautiful and impeccably maintained, and the overall atmosphere feels both luxurious and welcoming. The rooftop is truly one of the best in the city. The views, the ambiance, and the service up there are unmatched. What truly sets The Gwen apart, though, is the people. Our January stay was especially meaningful because we were celebrating my son’s birthday. When we walked into our room, it had been decorated for him, and they surprised him with his favorite dessert. It was thoughtful, personal, and so far beyond what we expected. Iris went above and beyond to make it special, and her attention to detail and genuine care meant more than she probably knows. She made our son feel celebrated and important, and that created a memory our family will never forget. Luigi has also been wonderful each time we’ve stayed. Both he and Iris consistently make us feel welcomed back, remembered, and valued. That level of hospitality is rare. After three stays in three months, I can confidently say the service is consistently exceptional. The Gwen is not just a beautiful hotel, it is an experience. We are already coming back again this month, which says everything. We would not stay anywhere else in Chicago.

Luigi was a fantastic front desk representative, warm, friendly, sincere. Employees like him make all the difference when traveling on business. The hotel is fortunate to have him representing their Luxury Collection brand.

Everyone was great from valet to concierge, front desk and restaurant staff. Shout out to Luigi at front desk, he should get massive raise, great recommendations for things to do during our short visit. 20+ years of traveling to Chicago, Gwen is now our only hotel from now on. Thank you!
