Not sure why this place was referred to as a “penthouse” - while it’s on the 50th floor - the layout is more of a junior 1 bedroom. Pros: The view is nice, but it’s facing the city side versus the Lake. Nice comfortable living room with desk, so you can work and good WiFi. The gym facilities was nice and we used that nearly every day of our 8 day stay.Cons: While the bed was comfortable - it was hard getting in/out of the bed if you’re sleeping on the side closest to the wall. As a 6’ 2” guy - it was a struggle, since I sleep on that side of the bed. The towels provided were like “cotton blankets” - after a few days we end up using the beach towels. The toilet paper provided was cheap single-ply that you would find in a public restroom. We went down to the grocery store below and bought better toilet paper. The checkin process was interesting. We got there 10 minutes before our check-in time and was told to wait on the 9th floor since it was quite 4pm. It would have taken us 10 mins to get from the lobby to the apt with our bags. When I asked if the front desk was staffed 24 hours - the front desk person responded, “did you read the email” - like wow!The constant messages from the owners about checkout and penalties was annoying at best. There was no warmth or welcoming spirit - seemed very transactional. While the location of the building was fine - close walking distance to many popular attractions - there were homeless people were outside the building constantly.

This unit is as described. The building amenities are nice extras. State Street is always busy and the CTA line could not be more convenient, .Nearby are grocers, restaurants and prime shopping.
You pay for what you get- the view was spectacular ✨️. Grocery store downstairs next door to the property. The penthouse had everything I needed, well stocked up, From paper towels, detergent,dishes to food plastics storage bags. You name it, pretty sure it had, if not the owner was just a call away.

Grand Plaza Penthouse Apartment
Grand Indeed! James and Jeri-Lou’s attention to detail and commitment to providing their guests a positive experience, coupled with the outstanding unit 50 floors up, made a memorable stay. The detailed instructions they provided about picking up “The Bag” and how to use its contents were VERY helpful. The doormen were friendly and knowledgeable. As we entered our romantic retreat, we were greeted by a personalized message on the TV screen welcoming us to this paradise in the sky. Nice touch! The unit was clean and fresh smelling. The furniture and furnishings were as advertised, with the appliances, cookware, dishes, linen, silverware, etc., all consistent with a unit of this caliber. The location, near the Chicago River, made it easy for us to get out and explore and indulge in famous eateries, like Gibson’s Italia and Robert’s Pizza Company. All in all, it was exactly the home we wanted for our stay. Very pleased. No complaints.

Fabulous!!
We had an absolutely fabulous experience!! The view was even better than in the photos… with an amazing sunrise, sunset, view of the city, and view of Lake Michigan. The apartment was immaculate and very well stocked….. from spices to tissues to Q-tips. We did plenty of walking in the city, but if you needed more of a workout, the building was equipped with a gym, a swimming pool, and an outdoor track. It also had a library and complimentary Starbucks. It was within walking distance to all the attractions Chicago is known for, and the street was lined with wonderful restaurants/entertainment. We would definitely stay here again!!

My 16 yo daughter and I loved staying at this apartment. It was nice and close to restaurants and many of the things we wanted to see and do. Right next door to Jewel Osco which was very convenient. I loved how well stocked the apartment was. Everyone in the building was super nice and friendly. The gym, library and pool were great! Also, the night time view of the city was unmatched. Great communication with the owners. Would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful View and Great Location
Would 100% recommend! Communication with the owner was easy and instructions were clear. The property was exactly as described and immaculately clean. The neighborhood is wonderful, and we felt completely safe. We walked everywhere and enjoyed many of the nearby restaurants and pubs. Although it was cold in Chicago during our stay, we loved standing on the balcony to watch the beautiful sunsets. Actually, we spent a lot of time on the balcony, despite the cold, because the view from the 50th floor was so fabulous.
But if you like to sleep in, either bring a mask to cover your eyes or book one of the other apartments with a fully separate bedroom. As shown in the photos, this is more of a studio with a doorway but no door on the bedroom. There is a wall of windows in the living room, and the blinds do not block the light fully, which makes the bedroom bright.

Ideal place to see the sights of Chicago
Thank you for sharing your place with us. Our first time in Chicago. We stayed six days and still only got to fraction of the historic and fun places!
Everything.... the size, location, views, amenities, cleanliness, and service was perfect. So appreciated.
Really enjoyed being so close to the red line. We spent our days traveling around the city seeing the sites and visiting museums. Then arriving home to our quiet apartment and relaxing with that view of the lights of Chicago.
I highly recommend this place. My husband and I would love to stay here again when we visit Chicago .

We came to Chicago to attend a conference and, instead of staying at a crowded conference hotel, had a beautiful apartment with breathtaking views of the city. The owners communicated every detail perfectly, the doorman at the building was friendly and gracious, the apartment itself was exceptionally clean, comfortable and perfect for us.

Awesome view from a gorgeous penthouse
We really enjoyed being on the 50th floor of this gorgeous penthouse. It was beautifully decorated and well stocked with supplies. The location was perfect. We were able to walk south to the river for an architectural boat cruise and a Frank Lloyd Wright tour starting at the Rookery and north to 360 Chicago for other great views at sunset and night. There were wonderful restaurants and shopping nearby. We highly recommend the Chicago Chop House. We had such a great time that we stayed an extra night! It was so nice of the hosts to be able to accommodate us on such short notice. This was a great place to stay!

A "WOW" experience!
Upon arrival after dark, we walked into the condo and were stunned at the Chicago view from the 50th floor through floor to ceiling windows/sliding glass doors! It never disappointed. A well stocked kitchen right down to the spices, detailed instructions on operating all equipment, current magazines describing the pulse and happenings of Chicago, well appointed furnishings, lots of closet space. Hotel staff in the lobby couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and the location put almost everything within walking distance ( or a short Uber ride).
When we couldn't figure out how to access our streaming service on the TV, the condo owner actually came to the site to walk us through set up. Service like that is not the norm!
You can't go wrong with this choice!
