    This hotel was amazing, beds were very comfy and everything was top notch. The only problem I had was valet parking in the description was 83$ but charged me 115.11. But other than that amazing!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Everything was simply amazing from the staff , the hospitality, the cleanliness of the room. Everything was pleasant.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very fancy

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The hotel is in a great location & does offer various amenities but unfortunately we were not able to take advantage of them. Room was clean but a little outdated. Staff were very helpful. Major con was the valet parking fee daily. It’s a lot per day.

    2nd stay at the Kimpton Gray in Chicago and loved it! Service was exceptional! Felt like a guest at a family member’s home! Shout out to Savannah and Noah and the entire housekeeping team!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Excellent stay during a very busy time. Staff were very helpful with everything, including getting around the city, bringing forgotten items to the rooms etc. The rooms were beautifully equipped with robes and even an umbrella which was a nice touch. Ate at the roof top restaurant which was great and reasonably priced. Would recommend.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was a great place.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Hotel is decent. It’s not as great as other Kimptons. The lobby and lower level are dark. Rooms don’t have great views. The rooftop and happy hour are nice. Not a lot of other amenities. I wouldn’t stay here again for the price.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Check in and service were good, and we enjoyed the free happy hour, but I expected more from the actual room for the Kimpton brand and the price. I feel like we must have just got a bad room compared to other reviews, room 1110. Our room was dark, no light came in through the window pressed up to another office building with people working just a couple feet away through the window (so we felt like we needed to keep our curtains closed), and the walls were painted a dark gray. The light fixtures in the room were not designed to be bright enough to counteract this. Our room was tiny, with a large awkward column to squeeze around in the middle of the room been the bed and the wardrobe/closet (I’m sure they couldn’t help this, structural). The fixtures and walls were so dinged up, paint chipped off heavily. Bathroom corners were grimey. Towels were bare minimum, one roll of toilet paper, no coffee machine unless you specifically request it. The location of our room was right by the elevator in an echoey marble hallway and every elevator ding and hallway conversation and footsteps came through our door crystal clear, all night long. The rooftop bar that we were looking forward to was closed for the entire day, on a Saturday. Something just felt off and not the Kimpton standard with this one.

    Disappointing

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    You could hear outside noise.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Nice stay enjoyed the rooftop restaurant. Friendly staff

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We had a wonderful stay at the Kimpton Gray during our family trip to Chicago to visit the Obama Presidential Center. The hotel is beautiful, stylish, and centrally located, which made getting around the city easy. Our room was comfortable and clean, and the staff was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. I would definitely stay here again on a future trip to Chicago.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Great stay!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Our original room had an “ bug” crawling on the bed. We alerted staff and was immediately moved to an upgraded room. Trip was ruined for me.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Clean, beautiful, spacious, complimentary cocktail hour, robes, friendly & helpful staff.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    All around amazing!
