    Good small and nicely designed place and handy location near to the Riverwalk, the rooftop bar, brunch at Ms Ricky's and the awesome Common Club area, surrounded by great restaurants and Millenium Park. Well-equipped and a nice size units in the adjacent bedrooms.

    Comfy beds, tea/coffee making equipment, a seating area and a work desk in the room. Central location was a plus. There was plenty of places nearby that offered food: restaurants and bars.

    chic atmosphere
    stunning views
    soft beds
    limited seating

    The Virgin Hotel offered a chic atmosphere with friendly staff. The rooftop bar had stunning views and a relaxed vibe. The beds were too soft for comfort, and the small room design limited seating options. Still, I appreciated the convenient location for exploring Chicago.

    convenient location
    clean room

    The hotel is ideally located. The staff were consistently friendly and accommodating, especially Chad, Danny, Travis, Antoine, and Kristina who contributed to a comfortable experience. The room was clean and nicely decorated, although the bathrobe was a particular highlight for its snug comfort.

    inconsistent service
    breakfast experience

    The stay was enjoyable, especially with the hotel's proximity to attractions like Millennium Park and the Chicago Theatre. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, which added a nice touch to our experience. One highlight was the bathrobe, cozy! We did find some inconsistency in service during breakfast, which could be improved.

    would stay here again without hesitation

    Super convenient location near Millennium Park and Cloud Gate. Rooms are clean and comfy, with air conditioning, minibar, and flat-screen TV. Loved the fitness center! Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Plus, it's only a short walk to the train station. Really fun vibe too.

    Great location and vibe

    Super close to Cloud Gate and Millennium Park, perfect for exploring! The rooms are super clean and cozy, plus I loved that it's dog-friendly without extra fees. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant scene inside is really cool. Just wish the shades covered the windows better-light peeks through a bit!

    convenient location
    unique decor
    noticeable noise
    dimly lit lobby
    lack of light

    The location is a major plus, situated close to attractions like Millennium Park and the River Walk. I appreciated the cleanliness and unique decor of the spacious room. Noise from nearby trains was noticeable throughout the night. The lobby could use more light, and while the hotel has charm, it isn't the bright space some may expect.
