Can't beat the location!

Hip hotel in a fantastic location just around the corner from Millennium Park, Art Institute and surrounded by great cafes and restaurants. We stayed on the 12th floor and we could hear the El running through the night. It wasn't horrendously loud and didn't keep us up, but it might bother some (the hotel provides guests with earplugs).

The property was right around the corner from the Chicago Theater, which is where we were seeing a show. That was super convenient. The first person we met was Mariam, the front desk receptionist. This was our first stay at a Virgin hotel, so I had a lot of questions. She not only patiently answered everything, but also explained more of the amenities in the building. This included the cafe, restaurant (which includes room service), gym, bar, and more! I was really impressed by the thoroughness to the welcome. While we were there we did come and go. Each time the front desk and also bellmen greeted us! I did not expect this level of customer kindness. I do not always need to be acknowledge when going places, but the staff at the Chicago location really made me feel very comfortable. When I was not sure how to get back to the O'hare airport via taxi, the front desk person took my information and time I needed a ride. They called my room with the description of who to look for when leaving. And the gentleman escorting us to our ride was so polite. I need to also mention, during our stay we did receive room service which was kind enough to take my order over the phone as I was having my personal issues working the TV to order lol. I thank her and the staff for preparing such a delicious meal for us. They came in a timely manner and we were able to indulge before the performance. I would stay there at the Chicago location again! 10/10!

great location, but just note that the train runs 24/7 outside of your window (they offer ear plugs) and the loud city noises can be difficult to sleep with if you’re not used to them (constant car horns / sirens echoing).

4/5. Clean but hair was in the bathroom. Room was hot and the walls are THIN! Very awkward staying the weekend with your mom and hearing your “neighbors” get frisky early morning.

Wonderful property, excellent stay

Everything about this day was excellent, from early check-in and late check-out accommodations, to wonderful little details in the rooms. This is a wonderful centralized location in Chicago close to everything we had planned, and within easy walking distance from the airport blue line. We are sold on Virgin properties now and will be looking to stay there at every opportunity.

Wonderful and comfortable spot in the Loop

I would definitely stay here again. The location was fantastic. The room was spacious and comfortable and we had great views of the turrets of the old skyscraper at 35 East Wacker. I had booked back-to-back stays, for a family visit and work, with the first a smaller room than the second. The moment I said my last name at check-in, the desk clerk said, "I know, you'd like to stay in the same room and we've already upgraded you to the larger room for the whole stay." That set the tone. A few improvements: firmer mattresses; the ability to turn off overhead lights more selectively; replace the makeup bench and table in the anteroom with a real desk and desk chair, or even an easy chair and lamp, so one person could work or read there while another used the bedroom. But again, I found this a great place to stay.
