Great stay in the Gwen for two days. Great location right off Michigan Avenue. Surrounded by excellent restaurants and shopping. Hotel is linked directly to Nordstrom and a high end mall. Meredith in the lobby restaurant/bar took excellent care of us at breakfast. Breakfast was great. The Gwen definitely will be our new Chicago base. If you have Marriot status this is the place to stay.

We came for the tipsy tea party experience. It was lovely. The chef was able to create a gluten free tower for my mother and I. Which was delicious! My daughter enjoy the whole thing too! Axel, our server was a joy to work with. He was very kind and clear on the menu and drinks orders.

Fun experience! Axel and staff were all super nice. Can’t say we loved everything on the tower but the drinks were good. I wish we could’ve picked what swapped out items of the tower. Everything was cute and pick. Especially loved the little hat hair clips!

My mom and I attended the dripping in pink tipsy tea party at this hotel and had a spectacular time. Specifically, Gloria and Axel made the experience for us. They were attentive, kind, and wonderful overall. If the rest of the staff at this hotel is as great Axel and Gloria, then I cannot say enough good things about the staff here and I’m sure your experience will be as great as mine was!

We had such a wonderful time with our tea experience for my best friend’s Bach party :) Rin took amazing care of us, and even brought us some extra goodies to make the experience extra special :) She overheard me say how much I loved deviled eggs, and brought some extra! So fun!
