Chicago hotel on Magnificent Mile with hip martini bar and restaurant
In 1927, notable architects Rissman & Hirschfield, responsible for many highlights on the Chicago skyline, finished a 14-story, gothic-inspired hotel that is now known as the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel. Newly-redesigned guest rooms with spa-style bathrooms entice guests to stay at this classic gateway to the Magnificent Mile. Historical architecture charms while the prime location of the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel allows for a short walk to business meetings in the Loop, famed Chicago attractions and Michigan Avenue shopping.
Highlights
  • M Bar serves more than 50 martinis and wines, plus light fare with live entertainment
  • On-site restaurant
  • Historic Magnificent Mile hotel with newly-designed rooms
  • Saturday night Dinner Detective Mystery Show (fees apply)

Rooms

After a complete redesign, the 307 guest rooms and suites at the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel show off their new look and enhanced comfort with Sealy pillow-top bedding, Frette linens, down comforters and plush pillows. A quiet, toned down neutral scheme receives a punch of cranberry for style. Slip into the terrycloth robe and slippers, pull the blackout shades and raid the stocked mini-bar or unwind in front of the 40-inch flat-screen TV at the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel. Bathrooms gleam with spa-inspired design and a rain shower. Connect to high-speed wireless Internet at will (fees apply).

Features

Guests start the day at NiX restaurant, a white-tablecloth bistro that serves breakfast and lunch at the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel. After dark, pop into M Bar for a signature martini and live music. Nearly every Saturday night, the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel hosts the Dinner Detective Murder Mystery, a top Chicago murder mystery event and dinner show. The hotel also offers in-room spa treatments, a palatial ballroom with gold domed ceiling and valet parking with in-and-out privileges (fees apply).

Good Value for Chicago

Nice comfortable bed. Good pillows. Clean updated bathroom. Close to everything. The shower was the best one I've ever seen in a hotel. And it still had the charm of an old hotel. Nicest hotel experience I've had in a long time.

weekend wedding

the room was nice, the dining service and food at breakfast was excellent but a bit pricey. the atmosphere was very welcoming and relaxed, which i like, but was almost too relaxed in that the concierge was sometimes hard to find. the location was ideal for what we wanted

Shopping tip: Short walk from hotel

the hotel is virtually right at one end of chicago's so-called magnificent mile so the hotel is located well for shoppers aimed for that destination

Good value for the money

Excellent location, nice room, good value. But the $9.00 a day for the internet is a bit nickle and dime stuff. All in all a good value in an excellent location.

It was honestly a really great buy. The room was perfect and the shower is lovely. They supply drinks already in the room. :) I would go there again all the time if I could!

Nice Hotel and Location but watch out for incidental hold!

This hotel is just off of Michigan Avenue at the North end of the Magnificant Mile so it is in a great location. The views are non existent but I am sure many hotels have the same issue when being surrounded by sky scrapers. The hotel was nice overall. The rooms were small but comfortable and clean. Most the staff were friendly but the front desk staff seemed a little stuffy. One staff member went out of his way to help me into the workout room when I couldn't find my key as he went down to obtain one from the lobby to allow me in. The only true drawback to the hotel was that they put a hold on your credit card for $75 per night for incidentals. That's allot of money when you weren't planning for it and your funds are limited so be prepared if you choose to stay here.

Great stay in Chicago

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to meet any demand, without question. The building was located in a wonderful place close to many sights that you could walk to. I would stay again.

Great hotel!

Great! We loved the location of the hotel, helpful staff, great clean room (they are small but still great), Some reviews were very negative, but this hotel exceeded our expectations. The only bad part was parking costs extra for the parking garage across the street, but still not too bad considering. Would definitely stay there again.
