I thought I entered in a different world, you feel like you are different,
When I stepped out you will see homeless people where I felt uncomfortable, I had to give them money just to feel a little better, I wish I can help all of them...
Oh, you lovely Drake Hotel! As a youngster I longed to stay there. Sunbathing on Oak Street beach I dreamed of the time I would stay there. For my 50th birthday, my husband took me there and we loved the food, drinks and suite. A lifelong wish fulfilled. Not a hitch to mar our visit of course, they are the gold standard for oldtime excellence.
I stayed at the Drake and had the best service all around, I needed a ton of directions and the people there went out of there way to help me. I can't get that even from my family.
We like a lot the luxurious and ample acommodations, the afternoon tea, the service and the location, location, location. The room was very confortable, well furnished and more than spacious. Having the opportunity to have a nice and elegant tea, was a reminder of good old times. And always the impecable and prompt service. If there is a hotel ...
The size of the room was perfect for 2 people - - - very spacious. It was easy for my son who lives in Chicago to get to. The staff was very accomodating and eager to please which is a big plus to anyone looking for a room for a night, weekend, or longer. The bed was comfortable and they were generous with extra pillows. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay there again when in Chicago.
This hotel is located on the lake Michigan and the busy Luxury street of Michigan Avenue in Chicago downtown. I have spent couple of memorable days in that hotel. The beautiful views of lake michigan, the boats and simmering lights on the lake shore gives me an idea that I have come to the peaceful spot. The location and cleanliness of Drake ...
Loved the food quality, ambiance and selection. Bookbinder soup was the best I had ever tasted and loved the little bottle of sherry for the top. THe different levels made for interesting views and the waiters were very friendly and efficient. YOu could even visit the oval sushi bar for a pre dinner drink and fun.
I stayed here just for one night with some friends and we had an absolutely wonderful time. There is fresh fruit bowls in the hallways, the suite we had was large with 2 bathrooms! They had the best fish soup and overall everything was great from the decor, the lobby, the location, the food, the rooms etc!
