Room was comfortable and spotless. Staff were friendly and accommodating. You can’t beat this outstanding hotel’s location for the true Chicago experience!
Beautiful historic hotel in the heart of downtown Chicago. We ate breakfast here as well and the food was really good too. Would definitely stay again.
The Drake had very attentive hotel staff, the room was above my expectations and my experience was exactly what i needed after a long journey. Thank you for a pleasant stay while in Chicago. Plan to stay at the Drake Hotel in future.
The room was exactly what we needed for the two of us. The view of the lake was to die for. Everything was fantastic from the check-in to checking out. The hotel staff was very accommodating.

The Drake is a great old hotel in Chicago. The rooms are bigger than your average room. The location is great, very walkable with restaurants near by.
Great location and wonderful staff. Stayed with my family of four and we were able to easily get to all the wonderful sites we wanted to visit. The historic charm and lastige spaces enhanced our stay and our breakfast was superb.
