What an incredible view! The rooms are the usual funky Kimpton gorgeous with outstanding service. We usually buy our own drinks at a local store in order not to spend a fortune on vending or the wet bar. Our maid noticed and after our second night left a bottle of our favorite soda and note thanking us for staying! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the beds are "oh, so comfortable." Our son loved the river views and actually ended up sleeping in one of the large window boxes overlooking the city. The hotel is just across the street from the river and one block from the El loop and the red train station. The Chicago theater is just a block away too! It is just the perfect place to stay in this magnificent city! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1094205 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r436745 My wife and I went to Chicago for the first time together for a romantic city summer getaway. We had a phenominal time especially since we love travel destinations with plenty to do. We were so impressed with the conceriege at Hotel Monaco. He was very poiite, patient, thorough and pleasant to work with. We had many questions and received explanations that made our tour of Chicago comfortable and enjoyable. This hotel is an ideal location to just about every must-see tourist attraction as well as the city transit systems. I was so impressed with the location, interior ambiance and decor, modest size building with large spacious and quaint rooms containing all the necessary immenities, complimentary coffee and wine party, friendly and cheerful staff, immaculate cleanliness, excellent room service, etc. I truly cannot say enough good about this hotel. My wife and I have stayed in many nice hotels all over the world and this hotel is absolutely top notch. My biggest recommendation when choosing this particular hotel is to reserve a river view room. You will be happy you did so. It is gorgeous. You'll have a large window seat to sit in and stare out into the Chicago river surrounded by the remarkable buildings. We plan on staying at many more Kimpton Hotels after our experience at Hotel Monaco Chicago. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r436745 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r436746 This was my fourth pleasure trip to Chicago. The overall experience at the Hotel Monaco was outstanding from the moment I walked up to the front doors. I was greeted warmly and, even though it was only 10:00 a.m., the clerk gladly checked me in and had me in my lovely room within minutes. The room was cheerfully decorated and the beds were heavenly. The location (and view) were outstanding...just a few minutes from the Magnificent Mile, Loop theaters and shopping, Millenium Park, Chicago Art Institute, Grant Park, etc. There are many quality breakfast/snack options within one or two minutes of the hotel, and the Monaco also has its own full-service restaurant if you care to dine at the hotel. The staff could not have been friendlier, and the concierge service was readily available and completely cordial. The evening wine hour was a nice touch. Lastly, because this is a pet-friendly hotel, it was fun to meet people traveling with their beloved pets. I would absolutely choose this hotel again when I am ready for my next shop-till-you-drop Chicago adventure. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r436746 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r459576 this hotel had so much character! From the moment i stepped in the door i was overwhelmed by the cleanliness, character, friendliness of the staff, and the amazing service! There is no one single thing that I love about this hotel that is how much I love it! Oh, and by the way, the beds are soooo comfortable you will not want to get out of bed in the morning. I will most definately goback in heartbeat. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r459576 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1094210 This hotel was beautiful. I loved the way the suites were decorated. Also, the views from the window seats were beautiful. It's a very cozy and comfortable place to stay. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r1094210 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r459577 Nothing was too hard or too much at the Hotel Monaco in Chicago. My husband and I are from Australia and we had been travelling all over the US. We arrived at 9 in the morning and they were happy to do there best and find us a room to check into early- which they did. The room was lovely and very clean. We had things to send home and the concierge did this with a smile and don’t even expect a tip. The restaurant downstairs served delicious blueberry pancakes or a full hot breakfast and the whole experience left us wishing we were staying in Chicago longer- a very genuine recommendation from two well travelled Aussies. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r459577 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r459578 I work for a company who went to a show in Chicago this fall. I booked about 40 rooms over a 2 week spread and I can tell you this is an excellent hotel. My salesman travel all over the world and I have never heard some great comments when they returned today. They said the hotel was quiet, clean, excellent service. The restaurant had great service and food. I know the price is a little high but it was well worth it. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r459578 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r436747 Wonderful location, friendly staff, wine reception every evening, Starbuck's coffee in the morning, room with a goldfish, window seats overlooking the Chicago river, rooms nicely decorated and appointed, AWESOME HOTEL! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Monaco_a_Kimpton_Hotel/r436747
