Wonderful Old World Charm

The Drake was a charming hotel with an excellent old world vibe. The staff were all amazing and personable, the building itself is full of the artistic and design touches that the best hotels used to have. The Tea Room is particularly stunning. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with nice views of the city. The hotel’s location is well situated for shopping, walking, restaurants and even a nearby beach. My family and I absolutely loved it, will definitely stay again!

Beautiful historic hotel

The Drake is a wonderful historic hotel in a perfect Chicago location. In addition to its large rooms with lake views they also have 2 on site restaurants. We enjoyed drinks or dinner at the Coq d’Or 3 of the 4 nights of our stay. Our visit was business related and the front desk could not have been more accommodating with their help scanning and sending documents. There is no doubt we will return to the Drake on our next visit.

The Drake. Enough said.

The Drake has lost some of its bling from the old days, but it's still a fabulous stay. We really enjoyed the view over Oak St. Beach, and the proximity to the Lake and Michigan Ave. can't be beat.

Good time

Pretty good. Lived the convenience of being downtown and able to walk where ever. No fridge or microwave - $100 worth of food had to be trashed. Bathroom door kept getting stuck. Downstairs restaurant food is amazing.
