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).

Beautiful, unique and spacious hotel! We were pleasantly surprised at how unique our hotel room was. After travelling around the USA, we have stayed in many hotels with rooms that are plain, boring and lack imagination or character. We loved the thoughtfulness that has gone into making such an artistic and interesting hotel. The room service team went above and beyond! We placed an order but after waiting close to 90 minutes we thought we’d check in to see how it was going. The team admitted they had forgotten our order and profusely apologised. I was adamant that it was not a problem at all but they generously sent a plate of dessert for us to share to apologise! Amazing customer service! Read less

Really enjoyed my stay. Daryl and the staff are amazing folks. The rooms are super clean and have nice touches throughout. Loved the tea kettle in the room. The rain shower was rook cool. Look forward to staying here again. The train line nearby can be annoying when trying to go to sleep.

We had a city view room and it was lovely! Jordan and Antoine were amazing! Wonderful customer service and quick service with Valet. We also really enjoyed brunch at Miss Ricky’s! We love The Virgin and can’t wait to come back for another visit!
