Frommer's Review

Tucked into the Westfield North Bridge mall, the Conrad Chicago maintains a low profile. But this property -- part of the Hilton hotel group's upscale "boutique" brand -- is determined to compete with the city's more established luxury properties (with room rates to match). The vibe here is old-money classiness rather than new-money flashiness, from the dark wood furniture in the lobby to the deep brown curtains in the tranquil guest rooms. Rooms are a bit small (especially the least expensive ones on the north side), but the amenities are top-of-the-line: flatscreen TVs and Bose sound systems. High rollers will want to book one of the suites overlooking Michigan Avenue; a few even come with private terraces. The Conrad makes a good base for anyone visiting during frigid winter weather; with a mall just a few steps away, you can get out without even putting on your coat.

In room: A/C, flatscreen TV w/pay movies and video games, high-speed Internet access, minibar, fridge, coffeemaker, hair dryer, iron, safe, CD player w/Bose sound system, turndown service.

Facilities:
Restaurant (European bistro); bar; health club; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
