Best Embassy Suites by Hilton

As its name implies, this member of the Hilton portfolio resides in the heart of downtown Chicago near top attractions like The Magnificent Mile and The Chicago Theatre. On-site amenities include a fitness center, an indoor pool and two eateries – a pizzeria and Osteria Via Stato, an Italian restaurant that serves prix fixe, three-course meals. Many praised the hotel's restaurant fare, but the property's free breakfasts and evening cocktail receptions stood out the most to past guests. Rooms, however, received mixed feedback, despite coming equipped with blackout curtains, flat-screen TVs and wet bars. Some previous visitors bemoaned the thin walls that let in street noise; others liked their accommodations' two-room layouts and comfortable beds. Business travelers added that the hotel's location near the Loop made it a convenient option for conducting work, while shopaholics appreciated being within steps of the city's best stores. And for Hilton Honors loyalty program members, there's another perk: Points can be earned or redeemed for stays at this Embassy Suites outpost.
