Sherman's Expert Review

The famous lakefront property is marvelously elegant, with a magnificent setting that never fails to attract a slew of royalty and celebrities alike. The hotel recalls the heyday of a regal eras past with a grand design and a trove of prestigious accolades. The beach is just a stroll away, as well asmore Magnificent Mile, with its designer stores, eateries, and attractions galore. The Drake’s 537 spacious rooms have all been updated with upscale, modern amenities, but still retain their traditional antique-filled decor and large windows framed by heavy, fringed curtains. All the rooms come with executive desks, on-demand movies, in-room safes, and high-speed Internet access; many have sitting areas and boast gorgeous city views and lake views (more expensive). Executive rooms and suites offer additional amenities such as daily continental breakfast in a private lounge (where you can also imbibe free cocktails in the evening); daily newspaper delivery; shoe-polishing valet; packing and unpacking service; and dinner, theater (and other) ticket concierge.

"The Drake SUX"

The service at the Drake was lousy and the rooms sucked. I wouldn't stay there again if you paid my way. I'd rather stay at the Marshall

"After a bad trip to Milwaukee we went to..."

When in Chicago I either stay at The Drake or The Palmer House Hilton because I love the old, classy hotels. We had to drive up to Milwauke

"Over-Rated"

Not worth the $$. They charge for Wi-Fi...ended up going around the corner every morning at the coffee shop (free). Had 4/room...only
