Best Luxury Hotels in Chicago

5 hotels · Aktualisiert im Februar 2026

The Langham, Chicago — River North
1 $$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.5 Superb

Occupying the lower floors of Mies van der Rohe's iconic IBM Building above the Chicago River, The Langham is the finest hotel in the city by almost any measure — the Chuan Spa, Paul Kahan–informed dining, and rooms with soaring Miesian windows over the river are extraordinary. Service is consistently ranked among North America's best.

The Peninsula Chicago — Magnificent Mile
2 $$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.4 Superb

Magnificent Mile

The Peninsula Chicago

A Grand Tier property on Michigan Avenue with rooms that are the largest on the Mag Mile, a rooftop pool with Chicago skyline reflections, and the beloved The Lobby afternoon tea. The Peninsula's detail-obsession — bedside control panels, motorised privacy screens, bathtubs you can fill from the bed — sets a standard few rivals match.

Virgin Hotels Chicago — River North
3 $$$ Upscale
★ 9.0 Superb

Richard Branson's take on the boutique hotel, set in a magnificent 1928 Mayan Revival skyscraper with rooms reimagined as 'Chambers' featuring a clever dressing room foyer, adjustable climate and lighting, and a fridge stocked at grocery-store prices. The Commons Club restaurant and bar is one of River North's most reliably enjoyable dining rooms.

The Gwen, a Luxury Collection Hotel — Magnificent Mile
4 $$$ Upscale
★ 8.9 Excellent

Named for Gwendolyn Brooks, Illinois's first Poet Laureate, this Art Deco hotel blends Chicago literary heritage with Marriott's Luxury Collection polish. The gold-leaf lobby ceiling and rooftop bar with Mag Mile views are defining features of this mid-range luxury sweet spot.

ACME Hotel Company — River North
5 $$ Mid-range
★ 8.6 Excellent

A scrappy, irreverent River North boutique beloved by creative travellers for its record player–equipped rooms, a lobby with vintage arcade games, and one of the neighbourhood's best late-night bars in Happy Village. Rates are significantly below the Mag Mile competition while the location is equally convenient.

Insider Tips

  • 1

    The Chicago City Pass covers the Art Institute, Willis Tower Skydeck, Shedd Aquarium, and more — if you plan to visit multiple attractions, it saves significantly over individual entry fees.

  • 2

    The Chicago Riverwalk is the city's best free experience — rent kayaks from Wateriders, eat at RPM Seafood's outdoor terrace, and walk the full stretch from Lake Michigan to Wolf Point for a river-level perspective on the architecture.

  • 3

    Deep dish pizza is wonderful, but the most relevant debate among Chicago locals is about thin-crust tavern-style pizza — try Vito & Nick's or Pat's Pizza for what Chicagoans actually eat on a Tuesday night.

  • 4

    The 'L' (elevated train) Blue Line from O'Hare to downtown costs $2.50 and takes about 45 minutes — there's no reason to pay for an airport taxi or rideshare unless you have excessive luggage.

  • 5

    Summer lakefront events are extraordinary but draw enormous crowds — the Air and Water Show in August and Lollapalooza in Grant Park require accommodation booked months in advance, often at double normal rates.
