Reviews for The Gwen, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Michigan Avenue Chicago
Great Experience
The property is lovely and the staff are very attentive. I was checked in by Jeremy and was given great customer service (love the cookies 🍪 and keep rocking!) I'm so excited for some R and R. I had the white egg omlette for breakfast, so light and Fluffy 😍

Positive check-in experience
First impressions matters. It started with our check-in experience, where Luigi went out of his way to ensure our initial experience at The Gwen was fantastic. He was prompt, courteous, and answered all our questions. Beyond that, it was clear that he enjoyed what he was doing. He was smiling and having a good time.

Memorable Stay & Great Staff
My wife and I are locals and decided to do a quick “staycation” at the Gwen to celebrate our first Valentine's Day together as a married couple. From the moment we arrived until checkout, the staff’s service and welcoming attitude - most specifically Luigi’s - made us feel very special and lent us to having a memorable weekend together. Special thanks to Luigi for the warm welcome and rockstar service!

Check in experience was amazing!! Kayla at the lobby bar was the best! Great drinks and service! The lobby is tastefully decorated and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and clean. This was my first visit to the Gwen and I will definitely be back!

Great hotel! Best bar staff ever!
Cecil, Daniel, and Kayla were amazingly accommodating during my weeks stay at The Gwen. We had drinks in the bar every night and even pulled together a last minute happy hour for 40. I could not believe how well they handled our rush of people that arrived. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the service was top notch. We will definitely be coming back again soon!
