Kinzie Hotel

I stayed at the kinzie twice this August. I absolutly love this hotel. You can tell Abdiel (the manager) leads his staff well. The entire front desk team is always so happy and welcoming, eager to help! Abdiel and Micalene (sorry if I spelt that wrong) worked the desk every morning and Deandre and angel and Demetrius worked the night shift. We had the chance to me Lani who is doing the overnight shift and is an absolute treasure. Every housekeeper you pass greets you with smiles and a friendly tone. Everyone is just so excited to be working here. You dont see this very often. The only negative would be the Nightly Service Fee ($27) for a below average breakfast and wifi that is very VERY spotty and the fruniture has seen better days. Even with that, I will continue to stay here just for the energy you get from every employee you meet. Love it!

My friends and I went to Chicago for the Oasis show Sept 2025. Staying at the Kinzie was an amazing experience. Angel Panopio and Andiel Cruz at the front desk were such a delight. Their high vibing energy and willingness to answer all questions related to the city made the stay so much more memorable. We really enjoyed and appreciated the happy hour from 5-7 on the 6th floor, we were pre sauced before it was time to head out for the evening. If youre heading to Chicago, do yourself a favor a stay at the Kenzie. Its in a really great area, minutes from the river. We will definitely be back for the holiday season. I will always stay at the Kinzie when in Chicago. Thanks again for a perfect hotel.

The front desk staff was always extremely professional and very accommodating. Both morning and night crew were excellent. Also the folk staffing a breakfast/hospitality suite we’re outstanding and courteous.

I’ve had the pleasure of staying at the Kinzie Hotel several times, so I knew what to expect with this visit, and it didn’t disappoint. The location is excellent, with plenty of restaurants and activities within walking distance. I was able to check in early, which was a nice perk, and found my room to be perfect: spacious, clean, with a great view, a comfortable bed, and a mini fridge. The staff was consistently friendly and helpful throughout my stay. One of my favorite benefits of staying at Kinzie is the 2-hour happy hour from 5–7 pm, along with the continental breakfast. I enjoyed being able to make my own waffles, or choose from options like a sausage sandwich, cereal, yogurt, and fruit. The only minor downside is the distance to the L, which is about a 10-minute walk. Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning. Kinzie remains my favorite hotel in Chicago!

We stayed at the Kinzie Hotel during hot, humid weather followed by heavy rain and the hotel and staff (I wish I had remembered everyone’s names!) made everything seamless. The air conditioning was fantastic in both the lobby and the room. When we came in late one night after being caught in the rain, reception happily provided towels, which was a nice gesture that really stood out. Staff were consistently friendly and accommodating even with the extra crowds in town for the Manchester United game and Lollapalooza. We especially appreciated having a refrigerator in the room, a Keurig with coffee pods and a window seat to relax in. The location is very close to public transportation and the Riverwalk. The hotel valued security with room keys required to enter after hours and to access the elevators. Mornings were easy thanks to two breakfast stations, one in the lounge and another outside the elevators. There is a $27 daily fee for two guests for high-speed Wi-Fi for unlimited devices, a continental breakfast with hot and cold options (including a waffle maker!), happy hour with alcoholic and soft drinks along with popcorn and nut mix and other amenities like a gym and business center (we didn’t use). Overall, the Kinzie Hotel was faultless for our short stay and would absolutely stay here again.
