PalaceBusinessSpaGastronomiqueIconique

The Waldorf Astoria Chicago occupies the floors of a contemporary tower on East Walton, two blocks from Michigan Avenue. We find the American palace register: marble in the halls, generous ceiling height, attentive service without being stiff. The rooms play the card of muted comfort, neutral tones, king-size bedding, light stone bathrooms with deep bathtub. The spa extends over 14 000 square feet with indoor pool, treatment rooms, hammam. The pool offers a clear view of the surrounding buildings, rare at this scale in the city centre. Count from 442 € per night, a rate consistent for an American palace in the heart of the Gold Coast ✨

Who is it for?

Who we recommend it to

We recommend the Waldorf Astoria to business travellers seeking a classic American palace, without eccentricity, with all expected services (spa, 24h room service, concierge). Couples on a city break find it a comfortable base to explore Chicago, between Michigan Avenue shopping and Loop museums. Families are accepted, family rooms exist, but the atmosphere remains muted, rather adult.

The building

Architecture and interiors

The Waldorf Astoria Chicago occupies a contemporary Gold Coast tower, vertical architecture typical of the neighbourhood. American palace interiors: light marble, discreet woodwork, indirect lighting, classic furniture without ostentation. The rooms display generous volumes, panoramic windows over the skyline or the lake depending on the floor. The whole prioritises sober comfort over marked architectural signature.

At the table

Restaurants, bar, service

The adjoining bar serves classic cocktails and Californian wines, muted atmosphere in the evening. Breakfast is taken in the room or in the bedroom, buffet or à la carte. Room service operates 24h/24, reduced menu after midnight but rapid execution.
