We went to Chicago to attend a wedding and thought we would see a few sights while we were there. The Amalfi hotel is a very ... service orientated property. Their people are very responsive, informative and helpful. Convient location made it easy for us to catch a cab or walk to our destinations. Executive breakfast and complimentary happy hour were nicely done.

Amalfi and Chicago trip

Peanut Nov 15, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

Great staff, and clean rooms. Very helpful in sending us to great pizza place and walk to Sears (Willis Tower). Weather was ... sunny and high 50's and 60's. Harry Carrey's across the street had great filet and key lime pie. 10 pin (bowling) with 27 lanes a block away. Definately invest in City Pass and CTA bus pass as they are less expensive than buying a daily pass. Saw Blue Man Group and it was great, very interactive with audience and great show. you can even get front row seats but be prepared to wear poncho so you don't get the colors all over you. So much to see. Aquarium is great for kids (Fantashea) show. Museum of Science and Industry wsa also great and interactive Kid stuff. Mellenium park was beautiful and loved the sculptures along with many shops on Michigan avenue.

The staff was helpful; they helped us with some public transportation schedules. The rooms were great - very clean & the bed ... was perfect. We enjoyed the cocktail hour, especially the Amalfitinis (the hotel's signature drink). The fitness center was the only thing that wasn't fabulous, but it was certainly equipped enough for me to get the job done.

Great spot for a getaway!

EandJandA Sep 28, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

I booked this hotel as part of a surprise birthday trip for my husband and was hoping, based on the reviews I had read, that ... it would be great. I wasn't disappointed! Upon entering the hotel, we were immediately able to check in, which can often prove to be a time-consuming task, in my experience. We had the keys to our room within a couple of minutes and were on our way up to our room. The lobby and hotel common areas were clean and stylishly decorated, as was our room. As we entered the room, the first thing I noticed was the beautifully inviting king-sized bed. Though the room was not especially spacious, it was not cramped, either, and a window that spanned one entire wall helped it to feel open and bright. Aside from the large bed and window, other nice details included a comfy armchair, flat-screen television, stack of current magazines and i-pod base. The bathroom was another pleasant aspect of our stay...extremely clean and well-stocked with Aveda products, towels, vanity mirror and hair dryer. The dual shower head felt wonderful after a long day of exploring the city. Because I am pregnant, I didn't sample any of the cocktails or deli meats/soft cheeses offered at the complimentary reception held on the 6th floor in the evenings. I went with my husband , though, and heard people raving about the "Amalfitinis," as well as the snacks. My husband liked being able to have a drink and a few light bites before venturing out for the evening. The Continental-style breakfast offered in the morning wasn't really much different than what many hotels offer. Plenty of yogurts, juices, coffee, bagels and other pastries...it would be great for a family with children, as I'm sure it would save $20-30 from being spent on similar items at the Einstein Bros. down the block. Overall, our stay at the Amalfi was extremely positive. It was nice to actually look forward to returning to our room each evening. We both agreed that we felt well-rested and refreshed after sleeping in the supremely comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and helpful, yet not overbearing. My only 2 (minor) complaints are the early (to me) housekeeping rounds and the high (to me) authorization that the Amalfi put on my bank card to cover "incidentals." Had I been aware of either beforehand, I don't think they would've been an issue for me, though. The first morning of our stay, Saturday, housekeeping came by right at 9 and knocked. To me, that seemed early, although I know it would be fine for some, but my husband and I had both just woken and were still in our pajamas. Had I known that they began their rounds at 9 or sooner, I would've been sure to put up the "Do not disturb" sign, as we like to sleep in on the weekends when we're away from our young child. The other surprising thing that I encountered was a $50/day authorization on our bankcard, totaling $100. Not really such a big deal, but I wasn't expecting it and would've likely used a credit card instead to cover the "incidentals" (things like the $7 bottles of water and $5 Snickers bars offered in the mini-bar in our room, I assume) so that our actual cash wouldn't be tied up during the trip. The concierge or desk attendant who checked us in didn't mention that an authorization of $50 would be placed on the card, which I think would have been an appropriate bit of information to share. Again, not really such a big deal, but helpful to know ahead of time.

Money savers tip, Short Walk

Definitely purchase the 3- or 7-day CTA pass, depending on the length of your stay. The Amalfi is very conveniently located near at least 2 train stops (blue and red lines), making it just a hop, skip and jump away from wherever you want to go. $14 for the 3-day pass just could not be beat...it freed up the money we had been planning to use on taxis for restaurants and other entertainment!

Recreation/Attractions tip, Short Walk

Chicago's Architecture Foundation River Tour was an absolute pleasure-everything a tour should be...jam packed with information, comfortable, with a good sound system, pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide, and made the rest of the visit so much more rich.

Money savers tip, Short Walk

Definitely purchase the 3- or 7-day CTA pass, depending on the length of your stay. The Amalfi is very conveniently located near at least 2 train stops (blue and red lines), making it just a hop, skip and jump away from wherever you want to go. $14 for the 3-day pass just could not be beat...it freed up the money we had been planning to use on taxis for restaurants and other entertainment!

"QUARTRO" is a hopping spot, great bar, patio and 2 levels of dining rms. Fun & interesting menu w/ great food. Also, "BANDERA" on Michigan Ave across the street from the Northbridge Mall entry-great jazz nightly, killer food (you have to get the Ceasar Salad & the Oreo cookie dessert!)

--DesignerVW, Houston, TX Sep 21, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

Right around the corner from the hotel is a restaurant named "Rockit Bar and Gril" on Hubbard.The burger there was named the best in the nation by GMA and when you have it you know why! Try it with the sweet potato fries.

Dining tip, Short Walk

And with the money I saved, I was happy to have a terrific dinner around the corner at Ruth Chris' Steak House.

--Business Traveler, Milwaukee, WI Sep 4, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

There is something to eat for every price range. We didn't eat at any of the high end/theme places, but by the same token, we didn't eat any Kentucky Fried Chicken or McDonalds!

Dining tip, Long Walk

Dont waste time, gut or money at the Billy Goat Tavern. Rotten pre-maid hamburger patties...yummy! But to be fair, the bun wasnt all bad. There is a great West African restaurant though right outside the El Wilson stop on the red line. The main guy working there was extremely nice and eager to please, especially considering we were 3 white guys in an African restaurant(not a racist statement but we were not the "regular" customers), but he treated us extremely well.

Frontera Grill is close by and has good food. If you go, be sure to get there at least 45 minutes before it opens and be prepared to wait even if you're early.
