Stayed on a corporate rate for business. I was impressed with everything the hotel had to offer, especially the pool. The crowd was a little old for my tast - looked like a lot of bankers. I did enjoy watching the working girls pick up on them in the lobby bar.

What a great place. I have been to the Peninsula in Hong Kong and while it is not as nice, it still is grand for Chicago. A great location on North Michigan Avenue and the rooms are brand new and spacious. The pool is gorgeous and the afternoon tea in the lobby is quite good as well.

I wanted to stay in what I hoped was the best hotel in town and so my expectations were high.The Peninsula did not disappoint.My room was a kingsize deluxe and although it overlooked another building on a side street it was very quiet (unless you open the windows) and well appointed.
The staff were all very helpful, efficient and courteous. The spa is very well designed with a nice indoor pool. The outdoor sundeck enabled some sunbathing and room service could be ordered there.The massages in the spa were good but the standard varied.I had three different therapists and one was considerably better than the other two.For 155 dollars for sixty minutes I would have liked more consistency.
The location of the hotel is excellent...right by Michigan Avenue. I would recommend Peirrot Gourmet for breakfast which is quite casual. It is part of the hotel so you can charge to your bill but is accessed from the street by the hotel so is very close by but gives the feeling of being out of the hotel.

We stayed here for a long weekend in June, and had a great time. The accommodations are first class, the location is stellar, and the staff is top-notch. You get exactly what you pay for.

Our room was very large, the beds were very comfy, and the location is right off of Michigan Ave., so everything we did was walking distance away. We even caught the train to Wrigley & the airport, so I think we only took one cab -- which was to the hotel.
