InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

8/10 Good
"The location of this hotel is outstanding—right on the Magnificent Mile, making it perfect for exploring Chicago. The property is well maintained, the staff was pleasant, and overall we had a good stay. However, for a hotel charging nearly $500 per night, I expected much better comfort. We stayed in a Junior Suite, and unfortunately the mattresses and especially the pillows were of very poor quality. The beds were quite uncomfortable, which made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. For the price and category of this hotel, upgrading the mattresses and pillows should be a priority. A better sleep experience would make a significant difference and better match the premium rates."

What is a historic hotel like in Chicago?
A historic hotel gives guests the opportunity to stay in a place that's been recognised with a national historic designation.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place's cultural value and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Chicago have modern facilities?
Yes, every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors can expect the amenities you'd find in a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. When you book a historic hotel in Chicago, it doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
