I decided on a surprise for my wife in the city. Unfortunately, like many others, family life and children don't always allow us the opportunity for romantic getaways. I searched for the right place and I sure am glad that I found The Blackstone Hotel. Located sweetly on Michigan Ave, across the street from Grant Park. This was ultra convienent... more

My husband and I had friends who had their wedding and reception at the Blackstone on Aug. 30th. According to the staff, it was the first wedding at the hotel since the renovations. We were both in the wedding party and were privy to many of the things behind the scenes that the guests were not. I speak for both... more

Traveled back to Chicago to celebrate our wedding anniversary. After looking at numerous hotels on North Michigan Ave. we tried something different, stayed on the garden side of South Michigan, and are we glad we did!! Everyone, from the front desk clerk to the maids were very nice. The room was Outstanding. Compared to the cost for the hotels on... more

There were 8 of us that stayed at the Blackstone on 8/9/08 for a Cubs baseball game. I booked 3 rooms through priceline and got a really good deal going that way. I was excited to see the hotel we got, and was looking forward to my trip back to Chicago. At check in we were informed there were no... more

Just stayed a night at this hotel. Booked an oversized room, and it lived up to the billing - 2 Queens, good sized desk, lounge chair, very large bathroom, and lots of room between everything. Kind of felt like an apartment it was so big. Decorated in a chic, retro decor that works a lot better than some of the... more

I stayed here as the media guest of a large company, and though I'm happy to report that the rooms are very nicely updated, they are also quite small and you're going to pay extra ($15) for DSL internet access. The beds are great and the door staff are very friendly. The only problem is that the desk staff are... more

I work for another hotel company but our hotels were full so I booked here as I had heard a lot about this recently renovated hotel. I was not dissapointed! They have kept the historic charm but at the same time it looks very trendy and cool. The hallways and public areas are unlike most cookie-cutter hotels. My room had... more

I just finished a four night stay at the Blackstone and just thought it was great. The remodel came out great, the room was very large and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. I searched a number of places before deciding on the Blackstone and it is close to a 5 star hotel but at a much better price. The... more

They screwed up our reservation. Instead of a "deluxe lakeview room" we got a view of a brick wall on the street. The front desk clerk blamed it on Expedia. I've never had any hotel complain about Expedia before. WHen I called Expedia they tried to take control of the situation, but the hotel was uncooperative, even though the hotel... more
