Boutique luxury in the heart of the Gold Coast
In Chicago, the rule for downtown real estate is the closer to Lake Michigan, the more posh the address. Enter the Raffaello Hotel, a four-star hotel just steps from the lake and Magnificent Mile with a Michelin-rated chef, in-room spa services, executive suites and a 24-hour business center. Blending old-world aesthetics with modern conveniences, the hotel manages luxury and intimacy while being near the downtown hub. Stepping into the vintage building just off the tourist drag, guests are more likely to feel like Gold Coast residents than tourists. Raffaello Hotel offers Drumbar, a rooftop speakeasy-style inside lounge and outdoor garden terrace, found in the 18th floor.

Fantastic Romantic getaway
I chose this hotel as a romantic getaway for me and my significant other and could not have been happier. The decor of the rooms is very stylish. The Drum Bar within the hotel is very conveniently located and fun. My wife and I decided this was ourt "go-to" place for all future Chicago stays. Very pleased.

A great weekend stay
Quick getaway weekend in Chicago. Great location, amazingly competent staff and eager to assist. Breakfast on weekend only by room service, but there are so many restaurants nearby that is not a problem. Will definitely be back again. Top notch in all respects.

Thanksgiving family getaway
We enjoyed the great location of this hotel. Just a short block off the Magnificent Mile of Michigan Avenue. Practically next door to the John Hancock Tower where we enjoyed beautiful views of Chicago while having lunch. The staff at the hotel was friendly and helpful.

Fabulous Foursome Friends
Great girls trip!
I came to Chicago with 3 of my good friends from college just to have fun. We stayed in the grand suite and it was great! We had a view down the street to Michigan Ave. and the Hancock tower. We got a great deal on the room for pre-paying for it. The staff were friendly and helpful in any way we asked. The room was perfectly clean, beautiful and comfortable. We especially liked the rainfall shower in the bathroom! The location, price, and overall feel of the hotel was exactly what we were looking for.

Needed something
Left a list of things that needed fixing. Over all it was okay. For the price expected more. Staff was helpful and friendly. But the room was just ok. Almost on par with a Comfort Hotel.

Long walk from hotel
You can get to most place by foot, but the trolly pass for 3 days is the best value. Easy on and off at all the best places. Much safer the a cab.

Nothing to say. Old hotel in nice area.
Old fashion, small rooms...basically, pay for location. 4 stars is too much for this boring place. Will never stay again.
