My wife and I take weekend getaways to Chicago almost once of month. Last time, we stayed at Hotel Monaco, but this time I wanted to try Hotel Palomar (both are Kimpton Hotels) as it was recently named one of the top 25 hotels in the country.

Our perfect weekend was engineered by concierge Bobby Gonzalez. Due to lack of a response while setting up in-room spa services, I had sent an email to the hotel expressing my disappointment. Bobby did everything from getting us a room upgrade to setting up a private table at La Scarola to make up for my inconvenience. It was a pleasure to see that customer service is not a foreign concept to Mr Gonzalez.

Hotel Palomar is a gorgeous hotel with all the amenities one would expect from a property of this level. I will not stay anywhere in Chicago other than Hotel Palomar.

This is my fourth time staying at this hotel and each time the service, room overall experience has been excellent.

We got this great deal via hotwire, so glad we did! Very hip vibe hotel,spacious size room, great breakfast in downstairs restaurant, and best of all they gave toys bag to our little one which she loved. The indoor swimming pool was very nice, even cold weather outside, still able to use it. Great location, close to a small supermarket, restaurants- surrounded with many and I mean "many" great chop/steak houses, shopping, easy walk to everywhere & felt safe too. Absolutely will stay here again.
