Pendry Chicago

On one of our previous trips to Chicago, we admired the beautiful Carbide and Carbon Building. We noticed that there was a Pendry sign on the exterior and realized that it was the location of one of the Pendry hotels. Having previously stayed at a Pendry hotel, we hoped to stay at Pendry Chicago on a return trip to Chicago. Well, our stay and experience did not disappoint! The hotel is simply gorgeous. Though the hotel is newer, it gave guests the vibe of staying in an older historic hotel. The nice feature is that the rooms are all modernized. We were made to feel especially welcomed by Muriel at the front desk and Perry, the bell captain. The hotel even has a collection of Taylor acoustic guitars that one can sign out and take to your room! The location of the hotel is really nicely situated just south of the Chicago River on Michigan Ave. It is an easy walk to Millennium Park, The Art Institute, and The Magnificent Mile. The only problem with the location being on Michigan Ave is that sirens from emergency vehicles can be heard from the rooms. However, that is to be expected when staying at a central downtown hotel. Anyway, our visit could not have been any better. We're looking forward to returning to Chicago when it's warmer.

I received excellent service from Muriel and Nike. The staffs all made us feel welcome. The breakfast at the restaurant on the first floor was decent. There is an house car on demand to go anywhere within 2 miles radius. Overall, it is a well-rounded hotel, but I wish they offered spa and hot tub.

We had a wonderful stay and Muriel was there to take care of us from start to finish. We were celebrating a new addition to the family and she made us feel so special and pampered. From a room upgrade to sending up some welcome food with a hand written note - Her attention to detail, including catching something we were allergic to before it was sent up really made us feel pampered and special! The whole staff was friendly and ready to help. Can’t thank Muriel and the team enough, we can’t wait to come back.

Everything about the Pendry is top-notch. From arrival to departure, everything was excellent. You are a walk away from the bean and many museums. I usually stay on the magnificent mile but wanted a change and I am glad I did. Check-in was smooth with bell service to your room. There was water available in the room (free) as was a welcome drink at the front desk. Elevator to the floors moved quickly and never had to wait long. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There is a Starbucks on the corner and the famous deep dish pizza restaurant Giordano's diagonally situated on the corner. This is the perfect location and hotel for a 5 star stay.

The Pendry is my favorite place to stay in Chicago. Has all of the amenities of a big hotel with a small hotel feel. The staff is amazing and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The bar is great for grabbing a drink before (or after) dinner. The location is a convenient home base for all things Chicago.
