Important Hotel Information:

The James Chicago is an amalgam of a boutique hotel’s attention to detail and a luxury chain’s budget-busting vision. Streamlined modern elegance is the order of the day, from the lobby to the guest rooms. Color is used sparingly, in sharp contrast to the omnipresent black, chrome, and glass design elements. You’ll find the steamy nightlife of Rush Street right outside the door, with the Magnificent Mile just one block to the east. The hotel’s modern re-imagining of classic elements extends to the traditional American steakhouse, present here in David Burke’s Primehouse. Spice-hued décor sets the tone for creative flair in the dishes, with an emphasis on aged Kentucky beef. The minimalist guest room design includes a platform bed and breakfast nook. Woods are dark; color schemes use both the cool and warm spectrum to create balance.

"Totally cool spot to stay. Right in the thick of it all. I've never had such great service at this price point. You'll feel like a celeb while staying in a cool room with cool, modern touches. Well worth it!"

Incredible Staff, Incredible Service, Incredible Experience!

Reviewed by Smokey on October 22, 2007

Smokey's rating:

"Just finished spending a weekend here and cannot rate it any higher! Made travel reservations in June for a double room, but joined the Frequent Guest program, and was upgraded to a suite! The photos from the website are accurate, as this place is spot on for minimal design and clean lines. The suite had a fully stocked mini-bar and refrigerator, a space for dining table and chairs, a super comfy couch, a media room that converted into a queen bedroom, another queen bed, and a nicely done bathroom with freestanding shower and tub! Overall, the quality and price couldn't be beat! I give this place a 3 thumbs up, but I only have 2! Check it out as you won't be disappointed!"
