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
Appreciation of fantastic hotel Staff. Beautiful hotel. Beautiful Team.
My review of The Ambassador Chicago is long over. Given less than 24 hours to be with my dying friend before he was gone, I dropped everything & made my way to Chicago from Charlotte as fast as possible. I believe in celebrating life, creating memories together & showing our friends we love them while living. We shared a few hours before he died the evening of my arrival. Kenzie & Stephen of the Concierge Team were incredibly kind, caring, & professional. The valet who took my car, the baggage team, housekeeping - every staff member I interacted with were lovely, helpful & smiling. My room was fantastic with a small view of the lake & gorgeous architecture of Chicago. A difficult time in life, but I could not have asked for more. Beautiful hotel. Beautiful Team. Thank you.

Nice but BEWARE !!!!
Nice hotel in good peaceful location, rooms nice but BEWARE Upon check-in they request credit card details and take a holding deposit of 100 dollars per night which they claim will ne refunded to your account within 7 to 10 days of check out. This does not happen and after two ignored emaisl I sent we had to phone our credit card company THREE WEEKS later for them to investigate and remove the pending payment. Shocked by their ignorance and appaling lack of respect for their guests.
