This is the best hotel I've stayed in Chicago after going to the city so many times. The design was impeccable and is very attentive to detail. Great location as well, it is near the Northwestern university and is near Magnificient Mile, so you can go pretty much everywhere from here, from shopping, dining, to visiting the lake shore.

Great ambience and wonderful option for couples celebrating an anniversary or just for a night on the town. The hotel restaurant was excellent with beautiful art work. The room was splendid and plenty of romantic charm. Of course the room service robot servers added a high tech feature unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. All in all it was a great stay, would definitely do it again!

The front staff had excellent customer service and were very friendly. They made me feel very welcomed. The valet staff were very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is very pretty including the elevators. The room was stylish and it was cool that you could control the light and room temperature with the tv remote. The shower was wonderful with excellent water pressure. I liked that they had a lovely drape that you could use for privacy since the shower was in the room. I would definitely stay there again.

I enjoyed the unique atmosphere that the hotel provides. The elevators were really unique, there were no buttons on the inside, instead there was a kiosk outside the elevators in which you would select your floor and it would lead you to the correct elevator. The design of the room itself was breathtakingly elegant as well.

When we walked into the building, I was a little surprised by the size, a little smaller than expected including the rooms. However, the place was gorgeous and the surprise of the shower placed where it is. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. Love the forward thinking with the elevator system and the robots. Finally, my sincere gratitude to accommodating our every needed - especially upon check-in. I appreciate your hospitality and we will use you again.

We love staying at emc2 when we have an appointment at Northwestern Hospital. It is just around the corner and close to hospital parking, which is cheaper than valet parking. The restaurant on site, The Albert, is great, and we love getting dessert for the night here. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We love the design of the rooms. They are functional and nicely appointed.
