Service was phenomenal. Excellent, attentive staff. That said, older hotel with noise issues. Michigan Ave is loud until the wee hours of the morning and the rooms are not close to sound proof.

Old world European feel was great; felt like we could have been in London, Rome, Florence, Paris, etc. Property is beautifully maintained. Our deluxe room was huge and had a great view of the lake. Walls are old-timey thick - silence at night! Staff is uniformly beyond fabulous. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The Drake is an iconic fixture in Chicago. Still elegant, staff is impeccable! the Cote D'Or has very good food for a pub. We are there twice. Be sure to try the pear gelato it's delish. Could use some updating, plumbing is loud and heating is a little loud too. It would get 5* if they did a little upgrading of wall paper in the rooms and found a way to make the plumbing quieter.
