Sherman's Expert Review

Out of the ashes of the old House of Blues Hotel, a thrilling new Phoenix, the 357-room Hotel Sax, has risen. Old World meets new in a tasteful setting that artfully mixes vintage glamour and urban style. Studio rooms are European in feel and drenched in dark wood paneling, while deluxe kings revel inmore over-the-top amenities like 42” flat-screen TVs. If the “Microsoft Lounge” gaming room, featuring five Zune MP3 players, five Xbox 360 Elite game stations, and a Windows home entertainment PC, doesn’t entertain you, then nearby Crimson Lounge, 10 Pin Bowling Alley, or the ubiquitous House of Blues surely will.

"Rockin' Weekend!"

6 of my George Washington U Frat brothers got together the weekend of July 12th to go to the Cubs vs. Giants game (Cubs won 8-7). We do this every year, and decided we would actually stay at a "real" hotel this year. One guy's wife travels with... more

Sigh.  I want to love this hotel and while on one hand I appreciate the decor, I also think it was way over-thought.  It is very Jonathan Adler but it just felt a bit forced to me.The Lobby - Your friendly front desk representative can help you... more

"Great as long as you don't park there"

I would love to give this hotel a great review. The room was excellent and their Microsoft studio innovative and fun. However, our stay was ruined when we picked up our car from their valet service and found that the car had been completely... more

I did not stay at this hotel so I cant comment on any of that sorta stuff. It was pretty cool, very central location and is fancy and hip to the point of intimidation. I was in one room, which was nice, a little small, but made up for it with funky... more

"Dark, Smelled Like Rot, Personal Items Stolen"

Decor on the rock-star side of things - interesting to look at but not to live with for 3 days. The hallways were too dark to navigate with anything more than your room key - not the case when you're there on business. The bed was comfy. The shower... more

"So what do you think of hotel sex?"This was what I thought my co-worker asked me the other morning as we sat in the lobby waiting for our ride. The answer, "Um, love it!" Oh, you said Hotel Sax. The answer, "Um, love it!!"Hotel Sax rocks my hotel... more

In 2007, a $17-million renovation transformed the former House of Blues Hotel into the new Hotel Sax Chicago, a luxury property with a bohemian boutique feel. While the lobby is certainly grand -- with Italian marble floors and trompe l'oeil... more
