Frommer's Review
Although it's now more low profile than in the past -- when the Ambassador East hosted celebs including Frank Sinatra and Humphrey Bogart -- the hotel retains a sense of elegance, from the large floral arrangements in the lobby to the mahogany four-poster beds in the king-size rooms. Executive suites have separate sitting areas; celebrity suites (named for the stars who've crashed in them) come with a separate bedroom, two bathrooms, a small kitchen, and a dining room. The Ambassador East has the usual drawbacks of a vintage building -- small bathrooms and relatively thin walls -- but its residential location makes it feel like a real getaway spot, and the surrounding neighborhood of elegant town houses makes a great place for a stroll. Best of all, you're still within easy walking distance of restaurants, Michigan Avenue, and the lakefront.
