Waldorf Astoria Chicago: Chicago, Illinois

First Impression

My husband and I were smitten from the moment I walked through the Waldorf Astoria Chicago’s front doors, as I was now in the land of ultimate luxury.  I could not wait to explore the entire hotel, however I was most eager to see my accomodation.  I was completely taken aback as I entered the room.  For a hotel in a major city, when space is extremely limited, it was almost impossible to believe just how large the room was!

 Location

Having never been to Chicago before, I had no idea what part of the city to stay in.  Thus, I took a chance with the Gold Coast neighborhood, which is where the hotel is located.  This historical area is filled with designer boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and high-rise penthouses all within walking distance.  The Waldorf Astoria Chicago fits in perfectly with its glamorous surroundings.

 The Room

The bedroom in the Deluxe Suite is designed with a strong aura of simple elegance.  The bed was so comfortable that I never wanted to leave it — in fact, we hardly left our room for the three days I was there.  My excuse as to why we hardly saw any of Chicago: the Waldorf Astoria Chicago.

The flat-screen TV and iPod docking station were the perfect amenities in the already perfect room.

The Bathroom

You know that you are in a luxury hotel when there is a TV in the bathroom mirror.  It might be ridiculously indulgent, however I loved being entertained while relaxing in the bathtub or getting ready to go out.  I also very much enjoyed the designer bath products and terry-cloth robes.

The Extras

The Deluxe Suite had another room attached to the bedroom that functioned as a kitchen/living room/office.  In an appointed nook there was a sink, an ice maker, a refrigerator, and a microwave.

My absolute favorite part was the fireplace, which immediately turned on and filled the room with warmth with a press of a button, and that was a necessity since we were visiting in December.

    I love when a hotel room comes together into perfection. So often you might get one element, but miss another, seems like your room had everything. Chicago is awesome although I have only ever been in April/May so don’t know what it is like in the cold, but I imagine…brrrr!

    Great branding! I have never been to Chicago which is surprising, really! Love the lucite pulls on that dresser. And funny that I was just thinking this morning that I would love to replace our ugly digital alarm clock with a vintage piece like that!

    It is always good for me to hear feedback on hotels in the Chicago area as I often get asked where to stay. Most people are looking for more budget places, but in case people are looking for luxury I know where to send them thanks to you.
