Ok, so Chicago is an expensive town, and a convention town, so finding affordable and available hotels, while still wanting some comfort and ammenities is not easy. I found the Raffaello online. Great location, I will say that. The rest of the Hotel really lacks in service and style to warrant a 340 dollar per night price tag. There is... more

I travel to Chicago frequently for business, and we discovered the Raffaello back in June. Since then, I've been in Chicago about 8 times and stay there every time. ADVICE: Always book a King room. They're much bigger than the double rooms The staff is friendly, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and it's a perfect location. It's a 5-10... more

We loved the Rafaello. The decor is fantastic: modern, stylish, elegant and cosy, yet spacious. (No cheesy stuffiness.) Our room was impeccably clean - just how it should be. The little kitchenette was great. Can't wait to go back. We stayed for 4 nights and we actually prolongued our stay in Chicago because we liked the hotel so much. The... more

From the moment I pulled up in my rental car and the "bellman" looked at me with disdain, until the moment I checked out, my stay at the Raffaello was completely disappointing. The location is great, I'll give it that, but the minute you enter the lobby, it becomes moot. The front desk staff were unwelcoming and not of the... more

Stayed 4 nites in a double double room. All the amenites you could want including a fridge, microwave and coffe/tea making facilities. Room very modern, spacious & clean, The location, right next to the John Hancock Centre makes this a perfect hotel for sightseeing. This hotel will be even better once the bar in finally open, but no problem at... more

We love this hotel. We visit the Chicago area often and this hotel has it all. It is clean and the beds are great. I love the location, everything is within walking distance. I wish I had known about it sooner. We stayed at the Omni Hotel two years ago and we were very disappointed. The Omni has a great... more

I was looking for an inexpensive hotel in downtown Chicago since I was going to be in town on business for a week. I found it in the Raffaello. The location was great, (two blocks from Michigan Ave) and the room was nice. There is no hotel bar or restaurant so be prepared to walk at least down the street... more

This is a fantastic hotel. The location is excellent within walking distance of Magnificent Mile , the beach , navy pier , theatre district etc... The hotel is modern and such a treat if you are used to the hotel chains in the city. The fitness room is clean , good selection of machines and has complimentary fruit. The room... more

We've stayed at several downtown hotels in Chicago. The Raffaello is in a great place just behind the the John Hancock Building. You can walk to everything. The rooms are great, recently remodeled. For the price, it's our first choice when staying downtown. more
