This hotel is living off its former glory. It desperately needs a makeover. What was considered luxurious and well designed 30 years mow seems run of the mill and verging on tacky. The tv set was a 30 year old clunker from Zenith. I don't care much for television when I travel (I don't think I turned it on once).... more

The Burnham is a lovely smaller hotel in an historic buliding right smack-bang in the middle of Chicago, great for shopping (right across the road from Marshall Fields) and access to the theatres. You can't beat the location, and the staff were friendly and attentive. My room was tiny (as you would expect from the location) but very well appointed... more

This hotel was an unexpected find! I searched several websites and had reserved a room somewhere else, when I received a notice from Hotwire about other hotels in the area. I took a gamble and hit the jackpot! The price was exceptional for the area, but especially the hotel iteslf! The hotel staff was very accommodating, personable and ready to... more

Our room was a disappointment. Our room was so small that I couldn't roll in my suitcase on wheels because the space between the bed and wall was too tight. It might have been suitable for a single business traveller for a single night, not for a couple on holiday. As well, jackhammers and road work outside all night long.... more

Saw this hotel on Tripadvisor and booked. Fantastic ! Excellent location, close to everything. I am on the 12th floor in a nice suite and despite the construction works in the street I am sleeping like a baby. Staff is polite and efficient, room is spotless and bed is very comfortable. This was the perfect hotel to end our honeymoon... more

My husband and I stayed here for one night to meet up with old friends. We read very positive reviews of the hotel and the Kimpton chain, so we booked this at a wonderful price through their website. The hotel is in the heart of the loop--at the corner of State and Washington. Given its location, I was a bit... more

My boyfriend and I just returned from a wonderful weekend stay at the Hotel Burnham. We were able to book the King Suite room at an amazing rate of $180/night. As soon as we stepped into our room, we noticed the fabulous decor and wonderful view. Although I had requested a higher floor when I made the reservation, we were... more

My husband and I just spent a long weekend in Chicago and we stayed at Hotel Burnham. The experience was almost entirely wonderful. The biggest positives: the area, being in the loop just a couple of blocks from Madison Park was fantastic. The room was VERY clean and well suited with nice decor. The only negatives: the bed was a... more

My husband and I just returned from Hotel Burnham to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. I knew there was construction going on around the hotel, but I chose to stay here anyhow (I found an average rate of $155 a night on the hotel's website). Our stay was absolutely amazing. As soon as we said our last name at... more
