I stayed at the Hotel Monaco for three nights last week. It’s a great boutique hotel with modern furnishings and comfortable accommodations. I appreciated the attentiveness of staff and the prompt response from housekeeping when I called with miscellaneous requests. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Upon checking in, I was advised to sign up for the Kimpton InTouch loyalty... More

Usually we don't travel with pets, but we were transporting a puppy and needed a pet friendly hotel. The Monaco was a great option. Perfect location for walking our pooch with nearby green-space and river-walk. The restaurant has some outdoor seating so we were able to dine with our dog. Food and service are excellent. The property is well maintained,... More

We were in town for my son's Navy Boot Camp graduation at Great Lakes. After a tough commute from the airport, we were just in time for a much needed wine reception. The host was very attentive, and kept the refills coming so we could just relax in a very comfortable chair. Really easy commute going North to Great Lakes... More

Stayed 3 nights on memorial day weekend. Had a corner room on the 11th floor (I think, second to top) facing the river which had two large windows with window seats in them (one was large enough to almost sleep there). The room was spotless and the beds were excellent. The hotel is amazingly quiet. (I don't think I heard... More

Wonderful location. We were able to catch the Blue Line train nearby right into O'Hare. The hotel is very clean and quiet. I enjoyed the complimentary morning coffee and evening wine tasting. The staff was great. When I returned home, I realized that I had left an item of clothing in the room. To my surprise, when I called about... More

Teach7477, Isn't our location so great- it makes getting anywhere so easy, from the airports to the shopping to awesome Chicago restaurants. It's wonderful to hear that housekeeping was able to take care of your left behind items. We look forward to your next visit. Cheers, Marco Scherer General Manager More

Fabulous location, hip and friendly staff, mangers wine hour every night, good breakfast restaurant, goldfish in room...what more could you want. minutes from miracle mile and river north; steps from the red line. Restaurants, shows, blues- all in walking distance. Great weekend rates.Rooms are Euro-small but very romantic with nice meditation nooks in window. Suites are the bomb.

Stumberry, I hope you tried that watermelon and basil sangria we have at wine hour this summer! It's so delicious! It's awesome that you had an opportunity to stay in one of the window seat rooms. They truly are so unique and comfortable. Thank you for sharing your great experience. Cheers, Marco Scherer General Manager More
