Step onto the Magnificent Mile from comfortable Chicago hotel
Not many hotels in downtown Chicago boast a location where guests just step onto the Magnificent Mile from the hotel. Top stores, popular restaurants, hot nightlife and world-class museums are all within walking distance. Guests find comfort in the Marriott’s signature style, starting with a gleaming lobby, an enormous glass ceiling and Art Deco-inspired seating. At the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile hotel, a sense of grandeur prevails.
Highlights
  • Fitness center and indoor pool overlooking Chicago
  • Harvest restaurant, Lobby Bar & Lounge, full-service Starbucks
  • AAA 3 Diamonds
Rooms
Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile hotel rooms and suites take dramatic cues from the rest of the hotel with scroll patterned-carpeting, club and lounge chairs in jewel tones and tantalizing city views. Pillow-top mattresses, HD TVs and ergonomic work stations lend more comfort to the spaces. All rooms are wired for high-speed and wireless Internet access for an additional fee. "Fit for You" in-room fitness kits are available upon request.
Features
The Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile hotel is one of a handful of hotels in downtown Chicago with an indoor pool, and even rarer still, one that offers a peek into the skyline.  The pool is attached to the fitness center, which features cardio equiment, treadmills and free weights. Towels are provided.

Guests have a number of choices for dining and drinking on site, including Harvest restaurant, which serves American fare, the Lobby Bar & Lounge and a full-service Starbucks coffee house.

The Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile hotel was built to host events of any size. Ballrooms, executive boardrooms and suites cater to large groups in visually appealing settings with lofty ceilings and bright colors.

Hotel Lobby is beautiful

Previously I've booked straight through Marriott as a Marriott rewards member and (I feel) have been given my preferences of a high floor, type of bed, etc. Booking through Orbitz with a flight was cheaper, but my rewards number wasn't given ahead of time and because of that my room preferences weren't available. All in all a minor flaw and just good to know that I should call ahead of time to give the hotel my rewards number. Hotel was beautiful though and within walking distance to great food, excellent shopping, and Chicago landmarks.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

Pizzeria Uno is a short walk up Ohio for authentic chicago style pizza--go for lunch if you want to avoid a long wait at night! Also, Brazaaz Brazilian Steak House is sure to fill up even the largest of appetites. Lunch at Brazaaz is half price ($25) and still offers plenty of meat options to try.

Excelent location

The hotel location is excellent. Is in the Chicago Downtown, there is a bus stop 1/4 block from the hotel entrance on Michigan Avenue and the red train stop at two blocks in Grand Ave.

Great Experience overall

I think this was a wonderful hotel with friendly staff, and a really good fitness center and pool. I really enjoyed working out here, bring your own headphones to the gym - each treadmill has a music player attached. We even got to check out at 3 pm, so really appreciated the courtesies. The location cannot get more central than this - you step out of the hotel, and find the Michigan Avenue shopping district. The only complaint I have is the long wait time for the elevators, sometimes exceeding 3-5 minutes.

Awesome location, great staff

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, hotel was very clean. Room was a little small, but we didn't need it to be bigger since we weren't in the room most of the time. We will definitely stay there again.

vacation in chicago

We did not realize that we really didn't need a rental car & we were not aware that it was $33.00 a night for parking. We could have stayed longer if we did not rent a car & have to pay for parking.other wise our trip was wonderful . Your staff was very friendly & helpful.
