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.

Highlights
  • One block from the Magnificent Mile and Rush Street nightlife
  • Walk to John Hancock Center, Water Tower Place, Lake Michigan and Oak Street Beach
  • Dining at Fornetto Mei, a Pan-Italian restaurant
  • Fitness center
Rooms

Chicago's independent boutique Whitehall Hotel, which has hosted guest celebrities like Katharine Hepburn, Richard Burton, Sophia Loren, Paul Newman, The Beatles and Mick Jagger over the years, provides intimate guest rooms and suites decorated with antique mahogany tables and nightstands, wood headboards, down duvets and marble bathrooms. High-speed Internet and wireless access are available in rooms (fees apply).

Features
Guests at The Whitehall Hotel won't have to worry about leaving their dog or cat at home. The hotel welcomes pets less than 20 pounds for a non-refundable deposit. For an upscale casual dining option, dine at Fornetto Mei, which traverses Asia and Italy with its menu of oven-fired, thin crust pizza and house-made pot stickers or sample dumplings at Mei's Corner. A cozy atrium bar welcomes guests and invites sampling of the restaurant's 200 plus global and California boutique wines.

Great Hotel

This is a great hotel. Great location and wonderful staff. I love that they provide all you can drink free coffee in the mornings and cooling water in the afternoon. That is a great touch and I really appreciated it. The staff is wonderful. Nikki at the front desk is a gem. She and Jim from engineering went above and beyond to fill one of my requests which was truly amazing! Cesar, Danny and Alex were freindly, informative and very helpful. This hotel is just awesome and gives you a personal feel. I would recommend this to everyone. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Southern Charm in the Heart of Chicago

The staff are exceptional from top to bottom. From looking at the map you can tell it is a great location and the price was certainly right. The staff helped me even before my arrival in that I wanted someone to tell me how to get to the hotel using the subway. Judy was accommodating and encouraged us to be a little careful safeguarding our belongings. Every restaurant recommended was outstanding too.

Get your tickets ahead of time for entry into the UBoat experience at the Museum of Science and Industry. The timed entry to see the inside of the submarine often sells out. It is a great exhibit and worth the extra money.

Perfect place to stay while in Chicago!

I was immediately greeted by a friendly staff and was able to store my luggage before and after my stay, which was unbelievably helpful. My room was beautiful, and had a very large comfy bed and was very clean! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Along with having an overall great facility, it is also in the perfect location being right off of Michigan Ave. You can't get any better with the John Hancock Observatory, Water Tower, and Magnificent Mile all right there! The Whitehall Hotel made my experience in Chicago a very enjoyable one!

Location, location !!

Half a block from Michigan Ave and the John Hancock Building. Stayed in one of the nicer 21st floor rooms. Not much of a lobby, but the friendliness of the staff, the quality of the two restaurants annexed to the hotel, and the great location of the hotel makes for a fine venue in Chicago.

Shopping tip: Short walk from hotel

Forget about taxis. Get a 1 or 3 day pass for unlimited bus or train rides to all the city attractions. They run one after the other and are clean and safe....and inexpensive. Also, we found the City Pass to 5 major attractions worthwhile and we recommend it.

The Whitehall is Awesome!

My wife and I recently stayed at the Whitehall for a weekend anniversary trip! The hotel is in a perfect location and with in 5 blocks in any direction are hundreds of restaurants and bars. The hotel itself has old school charm! The staff was excellent and were extremely helpful throughout the weekend. We will stat at the Whitehall again when we visit Chicago!
