First Impression
My first New Year’s Eve with my husband was destined to be special no matter where we stayed, however the Hyatt Regency Chicago made certain that it would be a New Year’s Eve that neither of us would forget. Before you read any further, I have a spoiler alert: this was without a doubt the best hotel experience I have ever had. Welcome into the world of the Monarch Suite — the suite whose name says it all. . .
Location
If you want your hotel to be located in the heart of Chicago, this is the hotel for you, as it is right in the middle of the epicenter. It is conveniently close to all of the major tourist attractions and steps away from the Magnificent Mile. This is something that I truly admire about Hyatt Regency’s in general; they know just how important location is for their guests.
The Room
When we checked into the hotel and gave the clerk my name, his eyes widened and a gigantic smile formed on his face. I should have known right then that I was about to be taken somewhere incredibly special. Honestly, words fail to describe how amazing it is to walk into the Monarch Suite. Thus, let me begin with the bedroom and then I will describe the other three thousand square feet of the place. The bedroom combines all of the comforts of your home with all of the hotel amenities you deserve. The king size Grand Bed™ is the perfect place to rest your head after a long day of exploring the city and from the bed is a stunning view of the magnificent buildings of downtown Chicago.
The Bathroom
The enormous en suite attached to the bedroom exuded an intimate warmth. There was an array of luxurious bath products to enjoy in either the jacuzzi, which had a view of the TV, or the shower, which had six shower heads. As if that was not enough, the toilet was automated, with one of the functions being a toilet seat heater. There is also a second guest bathroom.
The Extras
I doubt there is something one could think of that was not inside of the Monarch Suite already. From the spacious living room to the modern bar/kitchen to the office with a Mac computer and printer to the pool table next to the freestanding fireplace to the grand piano in the entryway; the Hyatt Regency Chicago most certainly thought of it all! Luxury is without a doubt their forte.
Why It Is Andi’s Pick
Because it allowed me to cross off “spend the night in a Presidential suite anywhere in the world” from my Bucket List. I truly felt like royalty in the Monarch Suite and in my book everyone deserves to be spoiled rotten every once in a while. I even heard a rumor that President Obama might have graced his presence there. Also, the hotel recently underwent a $90 million renovation making the Hyatt Regency Chicago that much more inviting.
Social Media
So beautiful! I love that there was six shower heads:-) Hugs!
Can you imagine 6???
What a wonderful visit.
Such a wonderful visit!
How luxurious to stay in a presidential suite, did it feel fulfilling to cross something off your bucket list? I especially love the creative shot of the card between the piano keys.
It felt SO fulfilling!!!!!!!!!!! I will never ever forget this experience. Thanks for the sweet words re: photos.
Very nice… and you made another dent in your bucket list
Wahooooooooo!!!
Oh. My. God. I’m overwhelmed just hearing about this place – 3,000 square feet? six shower heads? – I can’t imagine what it must have been like to actually stay there!
It was completely overwhelming! Our mouths were open in awe the entire 3 days we were there haha. Lucas was OBSESSED with the shower. I liked the heated toilet seat.
Fun fun! You had a pool table? Now THAT is awesome.
Yes mam we did and Lucas beat the heck out me every day!
3,000 square feet? That is insanity! What an amazing experience!
Isn’t that AMAZING!?! 3,400 to be exact!
WOW – the suite is gorgeous. That fireplace looks amazing, especially this time of year.
Sounds like a wonderful getaway with your hubs!
Sooo gorgeous right? And we were completely obsessed with the fireplace. It was the PERFECT getaway!!!

It’s that a permanent statue of Marilyn? The hotel looks rad! Thanks for the info and posting the photos and feel free to drop by me too.
Isn’t that statue cool? The hotel was sooo rad!!
Lucky lady! I have heard of these heated toilet seats… I can imagine it would be much appreciated during a Chicago winter!
It was the ULTIMATE in luxury!!! One day I will have one no matter what the climate is haha.
Wowsers!! What richness and beauty.

Holy luxurious! A heated toilet? That’s the epitome of life in the fast lane, if you ask me
I think I’m going to have to agree with you on that. In the future if the hotel doesn’t have a heated toilet it’s not 5 stars.
