“Chicago's top-tier address, minor quibbles”
The Peninsula Chicago is repeatedly called the city's number-one hotel — grand public spaces, old-money rooms with elegant Chinese design touches, and a famous Chinese restaurant that is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Service is warm and polite, with turndown appreciated and some staff proactively speaking Chinese; a front-desk agent is named as amazing. The location is superb for shopping, and the lobby is called unusually beautiful for America. Minor notes: the spa divides opinion between average and superb, and New Year's Eve noise plus overzealous security bothered one guest.
