Nice hotel, good breakfast

one of the best hotels I have stayed at in Chicago. Great staff. Great restaurant and rooftop bar on the fifth floor. Location is within walking distance of most everything on Michigan Ave. Room was great , bathroom great, beds great. Would and have already highly recommended this hotel to several people. The only suggestion I have is with the shower products. Accessibility to the pump on the shower products is difficult to pump . If the bottles were a little higher in their holders you could pump the soap out easier , but all of the guests in our room had the same issue with the soap dispenser. Its a small critique , but you should know , thats why you are asking. Great job Gwen

Loved this hotel!!! I picked this hotel because I needed a place to stay in Chicago and because of its name. My name is Gwen and I loved staying here. I loved the rooms, location (it is walkable to everything even the water taxi on Michigan), and the easy access to parking. I can’t wait to stay here again.

Location, convenience, helpful staff

I wouldn’t stay here if you are looking for a 5-star hotel experience. Amenities were lacking on the property and in the rooms, service was mediocre-poor and the rooms are fine but slightly run down. Feels more like a basic, massive chain 4-star hotel than a “luxurious” experience. Wouldn’t stay here again, unfortunately - completely overpriced and I’m surprised that this is considered to be in the 5-star hotel category.

Weekend getaway. Beautiful hotel great service.

Excellent. I love this hotel. Very beautiful snd great location.

Hidden gem in a wonderful location. Spacious rooms with comfy beds. A pleasure to stay at.

Phenomenal location, so many things within walking distance

Favorite in Chicago!

Loved my stay!

This was our 3rd stay at The Gwen. Check-in, room, comfort and staff all great as they’ve been in the past. However, our brunch on Sunday was very overpriced relative to what it was, and it seemed hard to get a reservation despite the fact that it was almost empty when our time came. I tried on a Couple of occasions over the weekend to get drinks at the bar and gave up due to a long wait. I’ll maybe return not sure yet.

Overall highly over rated hotel. I had hoped for a much nicer experience given the local options at comparable costs but was let down tremendously. I highly regret not booking elsewhere. Interactions with staff were cold, unfriendly, uninviting and the several I interacted with during my stay were combative or down right hostile. Hotel claims to be “luxury” but there’s really nothing luxury about it except perhaps the bathrooms.

Wonderful getaway for a quick girls trip! Rooms have a nice amount of space and the concierge was unmatched! They went the extra mile to ensure my sister experienced a beautiful weekend!

Awesome place to stay. Had a great time in this hotel. Will come back again.

Very Relaxing and Peaceful

The Gwen was a really lovely hotel with great vibes in the lobby and bar area, too. The concierge helped us with balloons and champagne in our room as we were celebrating a birthday, and the employee who checked us in gave us two drink vouchers when our room wasn’t ready right away. Overall, it was a great stay and location and I’d stay here again!

Beautiful place. Parking $45 per day but plenty of spots and right across street from hotel. Very convenient. Close to restaurants in walking distance.

Check in was very clunky. But the hotel was beautiful.
