We've been fans of Kimpton properties for years - especially the Hotel Monaco - and have enjoyed their hotels throughout the country. The Chicago Monaco is no exception. Like most Hotel Monacos, the location is close to the action. In Chicago, you're only a few blocks from the Orange Line (Midway connection) and a block from Michigan Avenue shopping and... more

A group of girls and I were celebrating a friend's bachelorette party and stayed at the Hotel Monaco for one evening. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. I thought it was neat, each person who works in the hotel puts their favorite food underneath their name on their nametag! Funny! I was wondering why the man who... more

This hotel is wonderful. Warm quirky atmosphere, great service. If you can, choose the optional upgrade to the river view suite(they send you an email after you reserve a lesser room) Our tub had jets and came complete with lemon verbena soap, we practically needed a ladder to get into it! The beds are super comfy and all of the... more

We booked through the Kimpton website and got what we felt was a very good rate: $159 for a room with a view of the river. Parking is $40 per day. Since we were only there for one night, we did not investigate whether there might be less expensive alternatives. Due to construction in front of the entrance (about which... more

Hotel is located in perfect location, 2min work to train station, less than 5min work to the river for boat tour. The room we stayed in was simple but very clean with nice decoration and had a huge tv & comfortable bed. Why you pay more for hotels close by when you can get everything you need at hotel monaco... more

I stay at Kimpton Hotels when I can because they continually deliver a great experience for business and personal travel. The Monaco in downtown Chicago (on Wabash) continues to live up to my expectations for a Kimpton. The hotel is centrally located for business trips or site seeing. The front desk staff is helpful and can provide direction on how... more

We booked ourselves an anniversary weekend at the Kimpton Hotel Burnham, but for some reason the room wasn't ready at 11pm when we arrived, so they quickly sent us to their sister hotel, the Monaco, for the night into a "sweet suite", cab fare included and they picked up the tab for the night. Fantastic service, friendly and accommodating. We... more

This is the fanciest hotel I've ever stayed at. After spending 6 months overseas, my then fiance met me in Chicago, and we had Christmas here. The room, bed, picture window with inset seat, bathroom were huge. All decor was new and lovely. Wide range of electronics and bathrobes and all the comforts of home. The valet parking wasn't great,... more

A friend highly recommended this hotel and we couldn't have been happier! It was wonderful ~ my husband and kids were already planning our next trip there before we had even left the hotel. The kids loved the goldfish in the room and thought the window seats were the best. more
