Top Evanston Hotel Reviews

Hilton Chicago

Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was exceptionally beautifully and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We were there for the BTS concert and the hotel went out of their way to make the space welcoming to Army (fans) by setting up a designated spot for photo ops and meet ups! They also played BTS music in the lobby to help foster a fun and exciting atmosphere. Besides the electric atmosphere, the hotel itself was comfortable with many amenities available. The rooms were spacious clean. It was centrally located and we were walking distance to many restaurants and tourist sites. It was my first time in Chicago and when I go back for a visit, the Hilton Chicago will be my first choice for accommodations"
