Beautiful hotel in a great location that makes it easy to walk everywhere. Beds are EXTREMELY comfy, we slept great and would wake up feeling well rested after a 10-12 hour day out on the town. Soundproof rooms, we never heard our neighbors once during our stay!

Very close to oak street beach. The room had a bathroom door that wouldn’t close, handle on closet door was broken and couldn’t regulate room temp.
Barbara, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The employees at the hotel were kind and courteous. The hotel is in a great location to as a base camp to visit all of the tourists spots in the Windy City. Highly recommended!
Randy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Checking in and out was fast and easy. The free bottles of water were welcome on some very hot days! Room was clean and very comfortable. The evening Bartender at Coq D'or (I think Danny) was very helpful, and menu suggestions were spot on!!
Debbi, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Drake Hotel offers a blend of old-world charm that's hard to find in modern accommodations. From the moment you step into the lobby, the grandeur of a bygone era is evident—ornate ceilings, rich woodwork, and a sense of history that gives the place real character. That said, the suites and some common areas could use a little refresh and would go a long way toward enhancing the overall experience without sacrificing the hotel’s historic appeal. Still, the attentive staff, prime location, and undeniable sense of place make The Drake a memorable stay. If you appreciate classic architecture and the stories of the past, you’ll likely find the charm outweighs the minor imperfections.
Erika, 4-night trip

Beautiful decor and atmosphere. Very near Lake Michigan and fabulous shops and restaurants. Staff was very accommodating. Truly wish there would have been a small refrigerator in room. We weren’t able to find ice machine.
