About the Hotel
PUBLIC Chicago is a complete transformation of the Gold Coast's famed Ambassador East Hotel and its historic Pump Room restaurant. Rich with a cultural heritage that spans decades, the hotel and the Pump Room was a place to see and be seen and played host to a multitude of celebrities and people from all over the world and all walks of life. A reinvented and reimagined hotel and Pump Room with a new food concept by James Beard award winning chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, will continue to be the fashionable spot it was originally envisioned to be, for an eclectic mix of people who come together to socialize and dine as they have for past decades. It will still be the hotel and Pump Room, but better. PUBLIC Chicago's 285 spacious and oversized guest rooms and suites are individually furnished with integrity, taste and superb functionality.

Reviews for PUBLIC Chicago
Irish in Chicago!
I had some concerns about our upcoming stay at this hotel when I read some of the reviews on here but I was honestly delighted with our stay, extremely comfortable beds, huge room, large flat screen TV with chromecast, the bathroom was spotless and the shower was really good with a strong flow of water. Each and every person we met during our visit were super helpful and friendly. I can't recommend this hotel enough if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Chicago. It's closely located to the main bus routes and the L trains. Well worth the visit! Thank you

Hidden Gem
Beautiful historic hotel with comfortable bedding and attractive layout along with a very friendly staff in a lovely neighborhood. On weekend evenings there is entertainment in the bar. Overall there is just such a cozy feel to this beautiful property.

Armani is the best
Hotel is very beautiful. Armani is the best! The new year with Armani at the ambassador hotel was amazing-everyone was having a great time at the bar. The vibes are beautiful. Armani makes the best drink and makes sure everyone is having a great time. The hotel is at a nice location with beautiful rooms.

Great bartender
Nice hotel , very nicer customer service The hotel offers modern rooms with cozy vibes, but the real gem is the bar—amazing cocktails, great ambiance, and friendly staff. Perfect for a nightcap or a casual hangout! You definitely should try them if you haven’t

Beautiful hotel
Armani was a terrific bartender. He was so informative about the hotel/history. You can tell he loves his job. This was our first visit to this hotel. But we have visited Chicago many,many times. Never knew about the Ambassador Chicago hotel. We are from Minnesota. This is definitely our new favorite hotel to stay at
