The hotel

Situated just a block over from the Chicago River and the same again from North Michigan Avenue, you'll find yourself immersed in one of the Windy City's most vibrant shopping and entertainment districts with plenty of things to do all within walking distance. However, the adage why go out for burgers when you've got steak at home certainly rings true. No matter when you're planning on checking out the flame grilled options there's always time for a few sociable tipples with both ETA Restaurant + Bar and Streeterville Social providing a seductive selection of cocktails and bubbly. If you're feeling guilty for over indulging, then forget about it and go back for seconds! But if you simply have to let off some steam there's The Luxury Spa to help you glide back down to earth in time to do it all over again tomorrow.

I booked this hotel for one night as an urban getaway, because I was tired of staring at the same four walls and wanted to refresh my mind and spirit. My plan was to order a delicious room service dinner, work out at the spa, get a massage, and enjoy beautiful views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. Well, I failed to do my homework, because I just assumed that a very expensive luxury hotel would have amenities to match. But as it turns out, they have no room service (“because COVID”), no mini-bar, no snacks for sale at the reception desk, and of course the Starbuck’s was closed — in the afternoon! There was literally nothing to eat in the entire hotel — a good place to starve, in other words. So I was forced to order Mongolian Beef for delivery from a local Asian restaurant — and, of course, I had to come down to the lobby to pick it up. The spa was closed, (“because COVID”) so no workout and no massage, either. A completely disappointing experience, worth maybe $150, and certainly not the $400+ I paid. The “COVID” excuse is getting old and tired because other hotels and spas have managed to adapt successfully while keeping their guests and customers safe. I got a massage at a resort a few months ago while wearing a mask — it was an easy solution — and I’ve ordered room service from other hotels since COVID. I think it’s just a matter of this hotel using excuses to get away with charging premium prices for lazy and thoughtless service. Read less

This is a beautiful and luxurious hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. I highly recommend it. They only allow guests to access their own floor from the elevators for security purposes. I appreciated their extra precautions.

What happened to Loews Hotel Downtown? This used to be a brand with dignity, and quality. They used to make me feel special and welcomed. The high price was justified... back then.

What happened to Loews Hotel Downtown? This used to be a brand with dignity, and quality. They used to make me feel special and welcomed. The high price was justified... back then. Those days are gone. This is a bad decision as far as hotels go in Chicago. The 5-star rating must be an accident because it really falls short of other 5-star and even 4-star hotels near this area. The biggest downfall is the friendly amazing customer-centric service that Loews hotel brand was famous for seems to have been forgotten. From the sophomoric manager, Thomas, all the way to the clumsy and condescending security, Muris, this hotel is the furthest thing from a "tightly ran ship". It was sad and a bit embarrassing to have to explain to Thomas (who didn't even introduce himself) why it wasn't ok to treat guests the way Muris and the staff at the rooftop terrace treated me. It was something I've never ever experienced before at a premium hotel property. I'm still wondering why they did me so dirty. Haha oh well. The room was not the greatest either it was far from the elevators and had a pretty sad view. All I could see was the gravel rooftop of the building next door. For $300+ a night, I guess I was hoping my room would make me happy and excited. It wasn't bad, but reminded me of a renovated Motel 6. I got a serious case of buyers remorse. All in all, I asked for a refund. They were kind enough to let me go and find a better deal, and I did. I found a 4 1/2 star hotel that gave me a better room, better view, and treated me nicely! All for less then what Loews was asking for. I'm glad I was now to save my night by staying elsewhere. No more Loews for this guy. You can thank Thomas the "manager" and Muris the "security guard" What a terrible name they are giving this establishment Read less
