“The Place to Stay in Downtown Chicago”

The hotel is beautiful inside and out. This landmark hotel has preserved it's classic elegance in the room, it's restaurant, and in every detail. It also has a beautiful view of downtown Chicago. It is within walking distance to the major theaters and dining in Chicago, and has easy access to transportation. The staff are very friendly and pleasant. I really enjoyed my stay here, and highly recommend Hotel Burnham to anyone wanting to stay the heart of Chicago.

Area recommendations
Downtown Chicago - Loop....State & Washington Streets.

“Our holiday stay at the Burnham”

The Burnham is a wonderful smallish hotel, kitty corner from the old Marshall field's Building and just a block from the Picasso sculpture. The neighborhood just has a nicer, "old Chicago" feel than the glitzy, garish Mag Mile. And the hotel is a gem. Beautifully decoated yet homey. Wonderful dining room.bar. And a very friendly, accommodating staff – one of the best I've ever encountered. Looking forward to staying there again soon!

Area recommendations
The Loop and South Loop are awesome, especially at this Christmassy time of the year, with the holiday fair taking place by the Picasso sculpture.
Comment from the hotel's management
A great many thanks for letting us know how you enjoyed your stay with us. The whole team will be excited to here your thoughts. We love our little hotel in the city and are so pleased you did too.

“Special request was not granted!”

All I wanted was to be in the quiet room for a good night sleep. The hotel didn't bother to read my special request at all though I made a reservation far before my visit. Upon checking in, I couldn't be relocated to the quieter room, so I had 3 tired days and nights. Would never go back there!

Comment from the hotel's management
I am so sorry! You should always receive the level of service you expect during your stay and with all requests.We do value your feedback and the team will be briefed on your comments

“Smaller than expected but great for something different!”

I believe I booked the most basic room with a queen sized bed. It was much smaller than expected, there was no view out the window but an enclosed duct shaft, and a buzzing coming from the closet....but still a cool little room and something much different than your every day hotel. Pictures only accurately represented the bedding decoration of my room. There was no "pillow library" like the description says and the room didnt have a coffee maker; they charged an outrageous amount in the lobby instead. Better off walking a block to a coffee shop. I still rated this hotel highly though because it was in an awesome location to get to lots of different places, had so much more character than the normal hotel, and the staff, including valet, was incredibly kind and helpful!

Area recommendations
Downtown-Loop - walking distance from lots of downtown attractions.
Getting around
We walked almost everywhere except when we took the water taxi. Walked to sears tower, then walked to the water taxi station at madison street where we took a $2/person boat ride to chinatown (also went near navy pier) and went back to the dock to catch the taxi back.
What to pack
Umbrella - best to walk or use public transportation when staying downtown and getting caught in the rain is a good possibility. Good shoes for walking.
Must see
Sears Tower is about a 15 minute walk away and is worth the wait once you arrive to see the city from the top.
Dining
Pie-eyed has great late night pizza delivery until 5am and delivers to the hotel with great service. House of blues is about 3 blocks away and serves great food in a great atmosphere. Several coffee shops within a few blocks for fair priced coffee.
Nightlife
Mother Hubbards on Hubbard st is a laid back and friendly bar few blocks away and is a grandfathered bar open until 4am or later.
Outdoors or beach
Navy Pier is a must see. Have a drink or a meal outside on the pier!

“Fabulous Hotel in Perfect Location”

Great service in the hotel restaurant, as well as staff for valet parking and hotel registration desk; beautiful view of Chicago from our 15th floor room; waiter & restaurant manager were very helpful accommodating our obscure food allergy; just a block from the Chicago Cultural Center, Millenium Park, Macy's, & lots of other terrific city attractions. It'll be hard to do better than this hotel if you'd like to be in this neighborhood.

“Lots of character”

I picked this hotel on a whim because of the location. We wanted to go to the 5:00 wine reception on Friday and walk out to Millenium Park for a free concert at 6:30. We got a great little hotel with a terrific and friendly staff. We were surprised to find that they all greeted us by namewhenwver they saw us in the lobby. Conveniently located near the subway, elevated train (the loop) and the Macy's flagshipstore. The restaurant had a nice breakfast with homemade doughnuts. We didnt have a chance to get dinner there, but if you show your room key, its 20% off. We'll come here again.

Nightlife
The elevated train is one block from the hotel. We took the Brown line to Sedgwick and went to see The Second City. The training place for many comedians including John Belushi, Bonnie Hunt and Steve Carroll among others, we laughed ourselves silly.
