dana hotel and spa

Great hotel atmosphere, fine dining and nice sky bar. The elevator is a little tricky since it works off your room key. Despite being on the 20th floor you could hear a lot of city noise and the AC was loud. The spa facility was fabulous!

Complimentary breakfast good but every morning they ran out of fruit and pastries. Coffee supply always empty. They offer breakfast until 10:30 am but ran out of everything by 10:00. Also,shortage of face cloths. We didn't get any the second day. I called to get some but they said there were none clean so we got hand towels. Great beds, so comfortable.

Love the hotel but the only annoying part is, taking the elevators. Elevator goes down to the Lobby, not the ground floor, forcing you to take the stairs or a different elevator one more floor down. Taking the elevator from the ground floor to your room is not a problem, however if it is in the evening when the rooftop lounge is open you have to take the stairs up to the Lobby and get the elevator from there. Now that your at the Lobby level, make sure you have your room card out for when you get in the elevator to be able to punch the button for your floor...if you don't do so quickly enough, the elevator goes down to the ground floor to pick up people going to the club and of course you see the same guy who would let you take the elevator up in the first place.

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate the long holiday weekend. We were able to get a corner room, which had floor to ceiling windows on the two street facing walls -- the windows make the room absolutely gorgeous. The bed is beyond comfortable, the shower is heavenly and each room has a flat screen t.v. and an iPod/iphone friendly $600 sound system. The concierege, [...], was terrific and most helpful. They honestly thought of everything when the made this place.

Alot of times when I go on vacation I look forward to getting back to my own bed and shower. However, my own shower and bed were not near as wonderful as at the Dana Hotel and Spa. They were both fantastic!!!

Overall, we really loved the experience at the Dana. The rooms were beautifully sleek and modern and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. One staff member helped us check-in for our plane reservation even after he had clocked out for the day. On the down side, the doors to the room are heavy and loud, so you can hear other hotel guests when they enter/exit their rooms. The biggest downside (which I hope will be corrected) is hiring a better trained hostess to seat people at breakfast. The hostess was a DISASTER. She didn't take names and couldn't keep track of when people arrived to eat breakfast. The line was out the door and people were waiting for 45 minutes. Ridiculous. The hostess even seated people at dirty tables.

We traveled in the middle of August and the trip was wonderful. The weather was perfect and we were able to walk all over downtown Chicago with ease. We visited all the major attractions (loved the Aquarium) and even made time for some of the neighborhoods north of downtown. We traveled mostly by foot, but it helped to take the train when we were traveling longer distances. I partook in the Spa services offered by the Dana Hotel and I was not disappointed in the least. Lastly, if you are looking for a quick bite, check out the hot dog and pizza joints in the neighborhood. You will not be disappointed.

Small hotel, but comfort was on a par with some of the best hotels anywhere. Very modern, sleek atmosphere inside and out. Very enjoyable.

Great rooms, nice beds, good pillows. Would have been even better if it had a pool. The exercise room has nice equipment but is a little small.

excellent facilities at room!
