Roaring 1920s meets the rockin' present
Towering 40 floors above the Magnificent Mile, the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago was an institution long before celebrity guests like Dave Navarro passed through its black polished granite and terra cotta walls. The Carbide & Carbon Building earned landmark status in 1996 for its designóa champagne bottle with gold-foil top bubbling over the Windy City. Today, the property takes on rocker appeal and remains a popular place to stay. Room walls are covered with rock-n-roll memorabilia and hip room decor to keep the party going all night long.
Highlights
  • On the Magnificent Mile, near Millennium Park and Grant Park
  • China Grill Restaurant
  • 10 free iTunes downloads
  • Gibson Guitar rentals
  • Staffed business center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Rooms
Rooms and suites at the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago merge the subtle with the bold, like taupe walls accented by Tigerwood furniture and white linens dressed with colorful pillows. Guests say good morning (and goodnight) to city views. Standard amenities include Rock Spa bath products, iPod docking stations and flat-screen TVs. Wireless Internet access is available for an extra charge.
Features
When a hotel provides 10 complimentary iTunes downloads and Gibson guitar rentals, you know music is a priority. Guests at the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago can jam in their own rooms with electric and acoustic guitar rentals, including Les Paul Customs, classic Hummingbirds and the SG Carved Tops. Aspiring musicians sign up for private lessons with Guitar Chicago or watch a 70-minute lesson streaming from the TV in their own hotel room. Talk about VIP.

Pets under 40 pounds are also welcome and get spoiled with organic pet treats, while you keep watch with PetCams via iPhones or other smartphones.

This hotel was great! My boyfriend and I came to get away for the weekend. The location was amazing and we even got a free upgrade because we had stayed there once before. It couldn't have been any better. The bed was so comfy and very clean!

Great Place

I thought the place was great, the staff was very helpful. The location was good. It was easy to get around and was 2 blocks from the Red Line, so going to the Cubs game was easy. The bar/restaurant was nice; the large restaurant was under renovations. They need to update their in house book, it states there is a china grill there, but it is not. Also the plumbing was a bit loud. Overall nice place.

Great Location!

Everything was really nice but I felt they nickled and dimed you.... Had to pay for WIFI in the room, but free in the lounge. $50/day parking when down the street it was only $42. They had a great coffee machine in the room but only decaf and tea available.

Wonderful work trip

I was extremely pleased with my experience at the Hard Rock Hotel. It was my first time there and will definitely plan on going back. The room and hotel staff could not be any better. I appreciate the interesting music decor as well. I cannot wait to return and bring family with me.

No Parking or Rocking here.

They do not tell you that your stay does not include parking until you get there. That will cost you an additional $50 a night. The guest also give you strange looks if you have long hair and leather jackets in this place. I guess people who look like they belong at a hard rock concert should not be at a Hard Rock Hotel. As far as the bar there goes it was anything but rock. I thought I was at the "Hard Rap Hotel".

Great view

It was a good time. They were delayed a bit in giving us our room but they upgraded us and gave us complimentary breakfast. What I liked most was the location. It was downtown close to the Navy pier and the riverwalk.

You never would have known that the hotel was full due to the lalapalooza. The service was impecable and the room was clean. It is always a great stay.
