"The Langham Chicago is undeniably a very upscale hotel with a stellar reputation. While it delivers on high-end polish and traditional luxury, I walked away feeling like it was missing the "soul" or vibe that truly justifies its premium price point. The Highlights There is no denying the luxurious details throughout the property. From the stunning Jaume Plensa statue in the lobby to the elegant touch of a harp player in the tea room, the hotel looks and feels the part of a prestige establishment. Furthermore, the location is absolutely perfect for exploring the city, and the service was consistently attentive and professional. The Atmosphere Despite the high-end decor, the hotel suffers from a lack of charm and energy. It felt quite "boring" for a property of this caliber. We visited the restaurant twice over the weekend, and even during peak times, it wasn't particularly lively. For a 5-star experience, you expect a bit of atmosphere, but the vibe here was remarkably flat. Dining The food was hit-or-miss. We tried several appetizers, and while some were fine, others missed the mark on refinement. For example, the cheese plate was humongous but lacked the curation and quality of cheeses you would expect at a world-class hotel. Final Verdict The Langham is a safe, high-quality choice, but it ultimately felt overpriced. It is an upscale but very quiet hotel. If you are looking for a vibrant stay, you might find this a bit too clinical."

"Great location, great staff, great rooms!"

"Good "

"The staff was amazing and so friendly and helpful. "

"The room has some updates but the bathroom sink is metal like a kitchen sink. The outlets could not hold my block. Maintenance had to bring me a surge cord. The rugs are outdated. The television did not operate the entire weekend and the refrigerator was not working either."

"Great location, loved the restaurant in the hotel. Trader Joes grocery store, Starbucks across the street, many restaurants and even a casino in walking distant. The subway was literally steps away if thats your travel option. "
