The hotel

Step inside Virgin Hotels Chicago and find your new favourite space - where the doors are never closed and the minds are always open to surprise and delight. Offering home-from-home comfort, guest rooms are of the utmost importance, divided into two separate areas – a dressing room and sleeping lounge – and packed to the hilt with mod-cons, including complimentary unlimited WiFi. Eating and dining is something you’ll want to make the most of whilst on holiday and at the hotel we’ve got a variety of restaurants to tempt you. Soak up the private members vibe at The Commons Club, home of the hosted cocktail hour or catch your breath over a coffee at TwoZeroThree, a Euro-style coffee house. Stargazers should make a beeline for the Rooftop Bar Cerise and indulge in craft cocktails and small bites. If you want some inspiration for your trip, the hotel app shares locals’ favourites (and allows you to control the thermostat in your room, order room service and more).

From the moment we sat down, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly without being overbearing. He knew the menu inside out, gave great recommendations, and made sure our drinks were never empty. It’s rare to find service that feels both professional and personal— Daquan nailed it. He made our night feel special, and we’ll definitely be back because of him! Read less

I don’t understand why they don’t just charge and extra $25 in the room fee… Read more
