The Talbott, Autograph Collection

My sister's daughter and her husband, who live in Dallas, Texas, were coming to Chicago for a visit and were looking for a downtown hotel convenient for shopping and sightseeing. There is nothing more convenient than the Talbott Hotel, which has just undergone a massive year-old renovation by local designer Kara Mann and West Coast expert Joie de Vivre. Located at 20 East Delaware Place, steps from the North Michigan Avenue shopping mecca, this 149-room upscale boutique hotel on Chicago's Gold Coast already has earned recognition in the Michelin Guide. It offers a plethora of amenities, including 24-hour front desk, 24-hour room service, valet parking, free wi-fi, a classy all-day restaurant, bar, lounge, revitalized rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness studio, business center, concierge, library, luggage storage, doctor on call, multi-lingual staff and bikes available. The Texans chose a Premium King room with 475 square feet of space, king-sized bed, living and sitting area, desk, wireless internet, HDTV, safe, mini-fridge and coffee/tea maker.

I’m a Bonvoy Lifetime Titanium Elite member so stay at Marriott properties frequently and globally. While the Talbot in Chicago is a nice, clean hotel with a good restaurant, it has been many years since I’ve seen a hotel with zero TV streaming and no HD cable channels. To me, this is a deal killer and I wouldn’t stay here again, there are too many options in Chicago. Poor marks for an Autograph property

Here on business travel for an expo wanted to try out a new location on the market. Talbott was in the heart of the Gold Coast so it was the best option. I was greeted by BEN at the front desk. Well put together young man who assisted me with all needs even the little hiccups I had with billing issues. Excellent customer service with a touch of his own personality I will definitely be back based on how the staff treated me.

The Talbott is a great hotel in great location. I typically do not write reviews for short stays but Ben at the front desk left an impression on me. Haven’t had customer service like his in a while. He is very laid back but at the same time still very professional. The hotel is walking distance to Michigan Ave which makes the location top tier in my opinion.

I stay here once a month for work purposes and have to say location and amenities are amazing. Easy location to walk to - starbucks , restaurants etc. The staff here is accommodating and so friendly. Special shoutout to Amanda, Ben and Taylor for taking such great care of me this trip ! Definitely recommend to families and business professionals. The new RENO looks great!

Bed was amazing, staff for hotel and bar were very friendly, really nice stay but possibly the worst hotel gym I have ever used. The gym is in the dungeon basement and very small, 1 treadmill only, very limited. Stayed from Saturday to Monday, cheap parking not using the valet service is close.
