Added bonus: Top Notch Concierge services !
Dear extended family were coming to The Gwen for a birthday celebration and I wanted to have a little welcome surprise waiting for them. I am so thankful that Concierge Russell Zwolinski answered my call! He sent me the most helpful link and walked me through the menu! He went above and beyond, and had the patience of a saint, dealing with a tech challenged lady. He is a gem! If the treats are as sweet as he is, it will be an even more outstanding weekend for the guests! Russell you are wonderful!! Thank you so very much!

Great Stay at The Gwen
We had a great stay at The Gwen Chicago. We were in town for the Big 10 basketball tournament. Excellent hotel. Very quiet – we heard no noise from the street (this is a city after all) or from rooms adjacent to ours (sides or above). This was a big deal for us as we stayed at The Pendry a few years ago (also a beautiful hotel), but we often awoke from sleep from the sound of police and ambulance sirens. This did not happen at The Gwen. Location is also excellent. You can walk inside to the large mall across the street. Close to tons of restaurants and one block off the magnificent mile. I would be remiss in not recognizing the services of the concierge (Russell). He was fantastic. So helpful and a really nice guy. Thanks Russell for your excellent service and advice during our stay.

Great Experience at The Gwen Chicago
I stayed at The Gwen for business and had a great experience from check in, to doorman, to the complementary coffee and hot tea the atmosphere was very welcoming. My matress was very comfortable, room was great, no complaints! On my last night at the hotel, my colleagues recommended I stop at their rooftop. I met Judie at the hostess stand who welcomed me and gave me a walkthrough of the layout. She kindly said there was plenty of room for a solo traveler and I enjoyed a cozy seat by the fire pit. Then my server Daviel B. quickly came and gave me 5 star service. I look forward to staying here again! Thanks Daviel B. and Judie!!
