Gold Coast boutique meets 1920s charm
The Whitehall Hotel manages that rare combination of location and ambiance. The hotel is situated one block from the Magnificent Mile and Rush Street nightlife district, but tucked away from the tourist fray on a residential street. One of Chicago's oldest luxury hotels but certainly no slouch, the Whitehall brims with 19th century elegance -- imagine chandeliers, wood paneling and tufted leather chairs, all restored to match the original European grace and grandeur of this Gold Coast gem.

Expensive Valet Parking
My parents and I stayed there for a couple of days. We loved the location as it is located at downtown area of Chicago. However the valet parking charges $45 a day and it is super slow to bring the car... That's the only complaint. Other than that, Chicago is an amazing city and the hotel is so fancy.

Great location. Would have been nice to know the hotel was under construction and not the ambiance we were looking for.

Business Trip
I have a conference that I attend at the Drake every December. I have stayed at the Whitehall because of its location and it is a great deal. The room was clean and it good condition. The staff was helpful and courteous. Even with the renovation going on, they had doorman there to help direct.

A Luxury Icon In Decline
The Whitehall was in the process of renovating its Lobby and this made access a little cumbersome. However, our real complaints have to do with the room itself. The furniture was shabby, not all of the lamps in the room worked and the bath tub did not drain well and at the end of a shower we were standing in pooled water. We are unlikely to return to the Whitehall and this is sad because we have stayed there in past years and were always pleased with what we experienced.

Early Departure
My wife and I had to leave 1 day early due to a family emergency. The Whitehall couldn't have been more understanding. They gave us full credit back for the last night when they really didn't have to. Now that's customer service!! We have stayed here many times and am gld to see some renovations to make it even better.
