    Great venue for large events! Very accommodating staff. Friendly service. Pretty good food also. I enjoy this venue.

    Service: 1 Location: 5 Amenities: 4 Room: 4 I stayed at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago and had a mixed experience. The location was excellent, very convenient. The amenities were also strong, and the room itself was comfortable and well-maintained, top floor. The view was magnificent at night, but that was mainly because of the specific room type I requested. Without that view, I would have rated this hotel much lower because of the service. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. On the day of checkout, while I was sick and still sleeping, housekeeping entered at around 7:30 a.m. to clean the room. I also stayed on the top floor, and something seemed to be loose on the roof, causing repeated banging against the wall or ceiling for several hours. After checkout, my bags were still stored at the hotel, but when I tried to use a basic facility (that is available even for non-guests) about two hours later, the doorbell/front-desk staff member almost did not let me in and then argued with me about the hotel the policy. Management was confused about that staff's behavior and told me they would follow up about the issues, but I never heard back. Overall, the hotel has a great location, nice amenities, and decent rooms, but the service and follow-through were far below expectations for a Hyatt property.

    Our second time in this hotel. It was again a great stay. Our view was fantastic. The service was great. The room was spacious and always clean. All of the staff were friendly.

    My review should not make people hesitate to stay at this hotel, but please stay away from room 2551 in the East Tower. I was here for a conference and is very friendly lady in the reception. Tried to upsell me to a better view on on payment. I am a World of Hyatt member and I was expecting at least to to get some recognition of my membership. The the room was so noisy and initially I thought it was probably the Chicago wind and since I was with a at the conference I asked others if their rooms were noisy and they said no. The next morning I called the reception and I was told that the noise was because of the elevator and it seemed like it was common knowledge that this room had something like a train running through every 3 to 4 minutes. I was a little disappointed that this room was given to me and no fair warning that it was noisy. I spoke to the front office manager who arranged To have me move to a different room which was a big inconvenience because I'd already unpacked and I was busy with the conference. It's a big hotel other than this experience. The location is really great and you're very close to the million Mile and the river. Most of the staff were friendly other than the person who checked me in who was friendly but may have just thought that that I would not complain about the noise and give me the worst room in the hotel. I hope the management will take care so that no other guest has this experience. The rooms are quite big for downtown hotel. It has good amenities. I would not mind staying in this hotel on a future visit.

    Have attended plenty of weddings, showers and other events at hotel banquet facilities. The food was not good at all, the sides would usually be bland and the meat would be rubbery. Not the case at this hotel. This is honestly the first hotel banquet facility where ALL of the food was a deliciously flavorful ten out of ten. We had to preorder prior to the date. I chose the salmon; cooked to perfection and seasoned nicely. Topped with a cream sauce to die for. The sides were mashed potatoes and collard greens with turnips. DELICIOUS! I just have one question, who was in that kitchen? Lol. The carrot cake slice was also a perfect ten out of ten.

    This Hyatt, the largest Hyatt in the WORLD, was just outstanding. Everything about it from the service to the perks to the facilities was very appreciated. The staff service was pleasant and efficient. We book a room with Regency Club access, and this was beyond our expectation. It included all day access to the Club for snacks and drinks, AND breakfast daily (easily $150/day for our family). Our room was spacious, as we basically had four adults, and we fit comfortably (unlike the other hotel we stayed at in the same trip). We had a gorgeous view of the river leading to Lake Michigan, which we received an upgrade for. The lobby area offered a bar with floor to ceiling windows showcasing the Chicago skyline (Big Bar), an eatery (American Craft Kitchen, where we had our breakfasts), and led to other dining areas. We received a daily $25 dining credit that we used in these spaces for drinks or dessert. The gym was spacious, with lots of machines, weights, towels, and water dispenser. I wish we had used it more. The hotel is essentially two giant sections (one has the convention area) connected by a bridge...I see why it's the largest Hyatt. Could walk to most downtown areas, it's located one block off Michigan Avenue. We did not drive a car here, so cannot speak to that. Would easily stay here again, and so would Hubs, and THAT is saying something!

    This Hyatt Regency is pretty impressive. It's on Wacker, close to the river. A sky bridge connects the east and west towers. The main lobby is massive and very shiny. It's certainly meant to hold large groups of people in the underground conference rooms. Check-in is located on the second floor of the East tower. Just take the stairs or escalator up. They have a glowing light ball that's sometimes a Pokèball and sometimes the Earth. Check-in seemed to be a breeze, though there was a short delay at 7:15pm on a Friday night. We were put in a room on the 35th floor in the West tower (which also has conference functions at the lobby level). Upon check-in, we were presented with keycards, and daily $25 vouchers for hotel restaurant purchases after 5pm. They specified that the vouchers are not valid at the convenience store ("market"). I requested some toothpaste, razor and shaving cream, and slippers at check-in. It turns out that they don't stock those items at the front desk. Instead, they place a request with housekeeping, who will deliver those items to your room. After we arrived at our room, the items were delivered roughly 20 minutes after. So, not too quick, but not too slow either. Our room had a south facing view of Millenium Park. Within the room, there was an amenity menu, indicating what types of items could be provided, such as tooth paste. What I appreciated about this hotel was that toothpaste was provided in actual tubes, rather than those sample pouches. The room itself was very clean. Part of the floor near the entrance was slightly not level. The bathroom was shiny and did not smell. The shower was a bathtub with a cloth curtain. The cloth curtain didn't seal very well, and water from the shower tended to splash out onto the floor; the direction of the shower head was not adjustable, but the output of the shower head was adjustable by rotating the switch. Turning on the water was slightly confusing. Blue color coding was present on the top half (10oclock to 2oclock), but to turn on the water, the handle needed to be rotated downwards, counterclockwise, which was unlabeled (and cold). Hot water then came at at 1 o'clock. The mirror featured backlighting and a building in digital clock, which was quite useful. An ironing board and an iron were located near the entrance in the clothes hanging rack. The iron featured a retractable cord. The ironing board was free of dust. The iron was free of griminess and worked well. The lights in the room operate using motion sensors and pressure switches. Lamps have a physical on/off switch. All tabletop surfaces were polished stone. Outlets were available o both sides of the bed, four in total. A lounging couch is located by the window. The floor is rock solid. The thermostat appears to be modern. It is a touch screen, displays the weather, and it is in color. However, it seemed that the air conditioner in the room struggled to cool the room to below 73F, even though the target temperature had been set to 69F. This resulted in a slightly warm room that slightly uncomfortable to sleep in. Noise in the room was quiet. The only noise was about 20 seconds of brief conversation heard through the wall from our neighbors, and it was not bothersome at all. Wi-Fi is free and did not seem to have a captive portal. The elevators were pretty speedy. The skyway between towers on the second floor features plenty of workspaces, with outlets for every single seat or space. This extends to the workspaces on the second floor "Gallery" in the West tower too. The East tower houses the restaurants on the first floor. The Big Bar is on the second floor after checkin. There is a copious amount of seating. The West tower had a fitness room on the second floor. It was stocked with LifeTime fitness treadmills, ellipticals, and a handful of cycling machines. There are a handful of weight machines. Dumbbells are located in the corner. Motivational quotes are printed on the walls. A beverage machine is located near the digital scale. They also have those big rubber balls that you can use to keep balance. They have towels and disposable headphones. For check out, they provide a card with a QR code and phone number, meaning you can check out remotely. They do ask that the keycards are returned to a dropbox by checkin. This allows for a quick exit.

    We are staying at the Hyatt regency in downtown Chicago for four nights. We are in the East Tower, which houses the main lobby and restaurants. If you happen to have club access, that is in a different Tower. You do not have to leave the hotel to access it, because there is a sky bridge. The rooms at the Hyatt are small, but they have everything you need in a compact hotel room. There's good service everyday and they replace your towels, which is essential since there really is no room to hang towels to dry and reuse. They've updated the rooms so the carpet is gone and the furnishings are as airy as possible to help. The rooms look less small and boxy. Overall, they're fine and a good value for this location. I love to stay at this Hyatt because of its location. It's fantastic for walking anywhere in central Chicago. It has everything you need and you also don't need a car. I recommend taking the train from O'Hare to this hotel. If you have a good small suitcase you can walk, or you can get an Uber from the nearest station and get here for about $7. This allows you to avoid the ridiculous parking fees. The only thing I wish the Hyatt had is a swimming pool. But, other than that it's great!

    Convenient location to lots of downtown shopping, restaurants and the Riverwalk. Check-in: very smooth and was able to pay for early check-in as we arrived around 8am. Room: nice and spacious; bed was soft. My favorite is the chaise. Very good for naps and reading. Service: the staff were amazing. Dining: I liked Big bar for cocktails and American craft was a nice lunch option. They did an amazing job of accommodating three different conferences this past week. Everything was efficient and enjoyable.

    I recently stayed at the Hyatt Regency Chicago over Memorial Day Weekend. I think the location is great since it's right on the river and a short walk to Michigan Ave. I booked through the World of Hyatt and used points so my opinion on value might be a little skewed. I'm not sure if I'd book a room here if I were paying out of pocket rather than with rewards points. However, everything here was pretty good. I'm not that picky when it comes to hotels though. The king bed was comfy, the room was clean when we checked in and was regularly cleaned every day. The booking also came with a $25/night credit valid after 5PM that could be used at any of the 3 restaurants in the hotel. Unfortunately I was only able to make use of it once during my 3 night stay but it was appreciated nonetheless. The check-in process was smooth and my room was ready a lot earlier than the slotted 3PM check-in time. Staff was very friendly. I was also able to request things like toiletries or linens through the World of Hyatt app and they were pretty prompt in bringing them into the room. That's not to say that the stay was perfect but the following things are just nitpicks really. I didn't like that there was no microwave in the room to use. There is one on the first floor to use right outside of Starbucks. I also felt like the TV was mounted at a weird angle relative to the couch and the TV. I'd stay here the next time I visit Chicago.

    The wifey and I took a early Christmas holiday getaway to Chicago and stayed at the Hyatt Regency. The location alone was perfect; close to the Riverwalk, Michigan Ave/Mag Mile shopping, CTA trains on the blue/red line and stunning views of the lake. The room was clean, cozy, spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly and quick to help, check-in/check-out was online so it helped eliminate the wait of going to the desk. The hotel gives you a $25 voucher to use per day after 5pm on food, snacks or a drink for a night cap after a long day which was a nice perk. Only downsides: no microwave, although there is a mini fridge, no pool, and the parking is pricey, but keep in mind you are in downtown Chicago. Overall, i'd recommend staying here. It's the perfect distance to so many good restaurants, coffee shops, shopping and transportation services.

There was also a buffet with Spanish themed food (empanadas, paella) and small bite dessert bar. I asked about what had red meat/pork and thankfully I was dutifully informed. The caterers gave me and my party some leftovers! Not sure what prompted that but we appreciated it(we tipped even on free drinks). The missing star has to do with the wine. It was AWFUL! I tried to break it up with beer, but I got so sick the next day, I had to cancel my evening plans. I probably over indulged, but I have had more wine in one sitting with way fewer side effects. I may just stick with beer next time.
