My Favorite Hotel EVER!!!

I absolutely love this hotel. The architecture is stunning and the history is amazing. My husband and I live in Saint Charles, IL but through the years of our marriage, we come and spend a night here when we want to experience downtown Chi. This hotel is so clean and well maintained. It's absolutely charming. Additionally, once or twice a year, we come here for tea and have done so since my oldest was a baby. The service remains excellent and the staff is ALWAYS so gracious. We're currently staying the night for Valentine's day and it's as beautiful as it has always been. We came for Christmas Tea in December and that was amazing as well. I have had Tea Time around the country, Dallas, Washington D.C., to name a few and even Vancouver Canada and nothing compares to the Tea Time here. It is only rivaled by The Ritz in London, which was also amazing, but not bottomless. I can not say enough good this about this place. Hat's off to the management. In a world that's quickly changing where etiquette and good manners are less common, it's nice to still be able to experience old world charm and excellent service right in my beautiful Chicago!

I’ve always wanted to stay at the Drake since it’s an iconic hotel. It was a fun overnight. It’s an older hotel but still charming. The staff was great. The day was very nice.

Hotel concierge experience

Daphne at the Concierge stand at the Drake Hotel was very friendly and helpful. I was looking for dinner recommendations nearby and she provided a great list of options. I also found a helpful list of ideas for things to do in the city this weekend.

Classic, historic accommodations

This was our second time at The Drake, you can’t beat its historic charm and elegance. Our room was cozy but plenty of space with a small bathroom. You don’t mind the small size due to the historic charm of the place from the elevators to the lobby to the doormen. The location is ideal with restaurants, shops and sites within walking distance. The staff are professional and helpful. My only complaint was that the Oak Cafe where you can get breakfast, was closed on Monday and Tuesday. There is a coffee shop on site with good but limited breakfast/lunch items as well as other places within walking distance but would have been my preference to eat at the on site cafe. Otherwise Highly recommended.
