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).

Hotel was clean and comfy, but the TV Software, setup is insanely bad, outdated laggy software made streaming, logging in watching anything that isn't a local cable station was impossible. So if you want to watch or stream anything DO NOT BOOK this hotel.

My stay at the Virgin was very nice. The staff members were very welcoming. My flight was super early but they allowed us to check in anyway. We received a bottle of wine and some delicious corn chips sent by Elina upon arrival. Totally unexpected but greatly appreciated, it was so kind of her. There was one hiccup during our stay. The water temperature in the shower went from freezing cold to scalding hot, no in between. The agent that on the text feature of the hotel app offered to send an engineer to fix it. After that point I was never notified or updated on the progress. I eventually went to the front desk and Danny was on it! I appreciate him so much and he was actually one of the reasons that I returned to the Virgin hotel. After the shower was fixed it worked perfectly. If i choose to return to the Virgin,I am hoping that Danny will be there to great me. Read less

The hotel was in a great location. We requested a room on a higher floor, we were on the 23rd floor - it was great. We stayed in the grand chamber king room, it was spacious and luxurious. We loved the separate dressing room. Shower was lovely and the dressing gown was so soft. All amenities in room worked fine. Lifts were quick and we never had to wait long. The Team were all very polite and helpful Being part of the know was helpful, we were welcomed by Elina who emailed and was always on hand to answer any queries we had by email - very helpful and greatly appreciated. Didn't enjoy The Cerise, we were hoping to enjoy a quiet drink on the rooftop bar, but we didn't it was very tacky and like a nightclub. All in all the stay at the Virgin Hotel, Chicago was great.

The mattress situation was terrible. We woke up too early, which caused us to have sore backs and a lack of sleep. I will never go back to Virgin Hotel again.
