Sophisticated yet cool, timeless with an edge, stimulating and comforting, Thompson Chicago surprises in unexpected ways. British design icon Tara Bernerd turns her worldly, eclectic sensibility to eleven for the Gold Coast boutique hotel with the stylish loft-like, urban industrial bones of the lobby and lounge accented with warm American woods and clean, mid-century lines. Rich textures of leather, velvet and flannel encourage guests to feel—literally—while the evocative art and curated book collection inspire a sense of discovery.

I had a wonderful stay here for a business meeting. The hotel staff took great care of us from perfectly equipped meeting rooms to amazing food. The dinner was especially good at Tavern on Rush. The bed was amazingly comfortable and I slept better than I had in weeks. Housekeeping did an amazing job and the shower was super lovely and I didn't want to get out of it. The work out room isn't huge but had enough equipment and it was all working. My only minor complaint is that the soundproofing was not as great as other hotels. I could hear my neighbors more than I would have liked. But a great stay!

The Thompson has become my go-to hotel whenever I am in Chicago on business or leisure. The staff is super friendly, starting as you step out of your car with the doorman greeting you with an open door. Check in is always quick and the rooms are lovely. I'm particularly fond of the different pillow options on the bed, from soft down-filled to firmer ones. It makes a world of difference when you have the right pillow to sleep on! I'll be back soon!

My wife and I have visited this hotel a number of times. I must say this was by far the best experience we’ve had staying here. The room and bed were extremely comfortable but the staff on this visit was exceptional. Hat off to our check in receptionist Nicole T. She was amazingly helpful and responsive to our needs. Because of her we will be back soon. Thanks to all the other staff members that we came into contact with but did not get their names. Great stay and we are looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.

A wonderful front desk team took great care of me and my 2 business associates. I was upgraded to a top floor junior suite, which was excellent, shower is very nice. Robe was comfortable as well.also excited to have Tavern on Rush in the hotel. Phil Stefani is a great operator.

Great stay! Nicole made check in and check out a breeze. The front desk and staff were super accommodating and helpful. The hotel was also super clean and in a perfect location, just minutes away from the waterfront, red line, and bus stops. Our room had an awesome view of the city and Lake Michigan. Will definitely stay again!
