Hotel Monaco Chicago - A Kimpton Hotel

This was my fourth pleasure trip to Chicago. The overall experience at the Hotel Monaco was outstanding from the moment I walked up to the front doors. I was greeted warmly and, even though it was only 10:00 a.m., the clerk gladly checked me in and had me in my lovely room within minutes. The room was cheerfully decorated and the beds were heavenly. The location (and view) were outstanding...just a few minutes from the Magnificent Mile, Loop theaters and shopping, Millenium Park, Chicago Art Institute, Grant Park, etc. There are many quality breakfast/snack options within one or two minutes of the hotel, and the Monaco also has its own full-service restaurant if you care to dine at the hotel. The staff could not have been friendlier, and the concierge service was readily available and completely cordial. The evening wine hour was a nice touch. Lastly, because this is a pet-friendly hotel, it was fun to meet people traveling with their beloved pets. I would absolutely choose this hotel again when I am ready for my next shop-till-you-drop Chicago adventure.
