Beautiful, aesthetic rooms with a classic wood design. Very comfortable. Nice touches like actual marble sink top and porcelain faucets. Large tub. Impressive view of city from room and in breakfast area. Breakfast area has a multitude of options and is kept very clean. We will be returning to this gem again.
I highly recommend staying at the Buckingham Hotel. I’ve been to many different hotels throughout downtown chicago and this is the best by far. Staff is great, view is great, breakfast is great, parking in the same building so no need to walk outside, and you’re on the 40th floor. Couldn’t recommend a better hotel.
Safe, quiet, beautiful views of the city and lake from the 40th floor

Really cool top floor hotel. Old school feel of class from back in the day. Great views of the city. From what i was told it used to be, there must have been some parties back in the day. Now a quite place to relax in the soak tub.

The view from this hotel was absolutely spectacular! I would stay here again for that reason alone. I hadn’t paid close attention when booking the property so I was a little confused in locating it but that was all on me. The room was clean and spacious and the staff was friendly.

A special shot out Joel and the other gentleman in the concierge desk. We really enjoyed the stage. I would only suggest to have more different types of teas available for breakfast. The orange cinnamon tea ran out the first morning we stay.

I like the property and the decor enough but I was not a huge fan of the general ambiance and it is kind of an odd set up. The view from our window was amazing since the hotel is very high up in the building! The front desk people were really kind and helpful.

Not the best stay I have had there. Stay was for two nights but room was not refreshed during stay. Lake view room had issues with TV, blinds and internet connectivity. Willing to give it another try because if location for me, but if not improved next tome, I’ll opt for other nearby options.
it was very quiet and an excellent view over the city. It is difficult to find as very less signs

Thank you for highlighting the uniqueness and historical charm of our hotel. We appreciate your recognition and look forward to hosting you again for more memorable experiences.
This isn't a hotel for everyone. It has a pool, sauna and fitness center....but it's only open from 6a-6p M-Th, and 3p on F. No weekends. It's not "kid-friendly."
The hotel is located on the 40th floor of an office building in the financial district. You will need to check in at the front desk, go up two elevators, then check in to the hotel. The rooms are very nice and the bed was exceptionally comfortable.

We booked the suite for our stay & we absolutely loved our room. It was spacious & comfortable. We also loved our front desk clerk who checked us in. He was VERY accommodating & attentive. He deserves all of my stars for customer service.
If I had to pick a dislike it would be the parking.
