I cannot say enough good things about my stay at the Blackstone...was here on business in mid-October...absolutely EVERYONE working there treated us so wonderfully...I had stayed at the Palmer House back in March and the service didn't even begin to compare...if you have a choice, choose the Blackstone...you'll be very impressed! more

This hotel has recently reopened from remodeling. It is walking distance to Soldier Field and a short drive to the United Center. We checked in around 6 PM on a Saturday and had no problem. The room was very nice, no complaints. The bathroom has only a shower, no tub, and the Marriott beds were very comfortable as usual. The... more

This is one of the nicest Marriott or Hilton hotels I've ever stayed at. This is a nice compliment seeing as I usually do about 280 nights/ year!! :) I heard they finished the renovation in 8 yrs and the Beatles Yogi bought this place and paid $125 million for the renovation. it sat vacant for 9 years. As you'll... more

I stayed at the Blackstone for work and pleasure. Got an excellent room with a view of the Lake. The room was very quiet, the bed very comfortable, the shower terrific, and the bathroom very modern. The location is also excellent, tho a bit of a walk from from Water Tower. I would stay there again and highly recommend. more

I have never been treated so well. I can't believe how friendly everyone was. We got an unbelievable room. Very big and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was awesome! There was even a tv in the mirror! We will definately go back. more

I must say that I was just HAPPY to get a room on priceline at a price that my company could afford in downtown Chicago, much less this one! I had never heard of the Blackstone, my ignorance, but now I can't let it go! I even extended my trip I enjoyed it so much! The lobby and Art Hall... more

My wife and I had originally booked a room at the Hyatt, but due to issues outside of the Hyatt's control they reserved a room for us at the Blackstone. We were very pleasanty surprised. The rooms have all been nicely updated and are very modern. The location lends itself well to anyone wanting to visit the Grant or Millenium... more

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights during the Labor Day weekend. We typically visit Chicago at least once a year and this is the first time we've stayed at the Blackstone. The location was great - we had a wonderful view of Lake Michigan and Grant Park. We were able to walk to the... more

After receiving a couple of suggestions of hotels near the Auditorium Theater in Chicago, I settled on The Blackstone. It was a birthday surprise weekend for my wife. All I can say is she loved it! The Blackstone has been closed for about 8 years. It was due to become condos but the deal fell through and the Marriott Corp.... more

I decided on a surprise for my wife in the city. Unfortunately, like many others, family life and children don't always allow us the opportunity for romantic getaways. I searched for the right place and I sure am glad that I found The Blackstone Hotel. Located sweetly on Michigan Ave, across the street from Grant Park. This was ultra convienent... more
