Top Back of the Yards Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Received a wellness check in call from the staff every day"

The Wade

10/10 Excellent

"My room was so clean, staff was friendly, and the hotel was in such a perfect spot for the lake, shopping, and Navy Pier. I truly can’t wait to go back! Will say parking looked pricey, but the area is very walkable and I felt very safe being out so late and walking from Soldier Stadium to The Wade, from the Riverwalk to The Wade, Navy Pier to The Wade."
