Excellent location.

Spent extended weekend at Blackstone Renaissance hotel. The location was excellent: half way between the Field Museum and Chicago Art Institute. Had a room on the 15th floor, with lake view, which was superb. Bathroom is spacious and well appointed. Beds are very comfortable and we hardly heard any noise from neighboring rooms. We did not need assistance from staff, but our (short) interactions were very pleasant. We would definitely stay here again, especially considering the reasonable room rate.

Excellent customer service!

Nice hotel, great location, front desk employees were outstanding. Very personable, knowledgable and polite.I know they answered the same questions over and over all day but they did not act like it. Would recommend this hotel.

Historial hotel close to the Art Institute

This was a ladies trip to tour the Art Institute mainly. We were looking for a lovely historical hotel but one where the rooms were comfortable and updated. This hotel was exactly what we were looking for. The staff was friendly and attentive. The location was perfect for us. We spent 2 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful weekend

Pros: Quiet
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the Blackstone. After he arrived, he realized it was a hotel that he had always wanted to stay at, and it lived up to his expectations. We were close to everything downtown. The Art Institute was a short walk up Michigan, and Buddy Guys was a block away. The staff at the hotel was very nice. The restaurant downstairs (Mercat a la Planxa) was excellent. We had dinner there the first night, ordered breakfast in our rooms for the morning, and went back for Sunday brunch. We loved the decor in the hotel, though we didn't get a chance to explore the Art Hall as there was a conference going on at the time. Even though there wasn't free wi-fi in the rooms, we were more than happy with the free wi-fi in the lobby.

I'll definitely be back.

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
The Blackstone is a grand old Chicago hotel, updated with beautiful furnishings and all the modern amenities. The rooms tend to be a bit small, as do the elevators, but this is a reflection of its age. It his home to one of my favorite Chicago restaurants. The staff is friendly and helpful. And the location can't be beat.

Great location

Pros: Close restaurants
The location of this hotel is excellent, the staff is friendly and the common areas are very inviting. The room was unbelievably small, there was the last guest's discarded food in the waste can and the bedspread was so in need of laundering that it actually smelled. The bed spread and the other guest's waste food in the trash can may have been an unusual experience. Other than those two issues, my stay was fine and the location right downtown was wonderful.
