My wife and son and I stayed at the Kimpton Monaco for four nights in a small suite overlooking the river. What an incredible view! The rooms are the usual funky Kimpton gorgeous with outstanding service. We usually buy our own drinks at a local store in order not to spend a fortune on vending or the wet bar. Our maid noticed and after our second night left a bottle of our favorite soda and note thanking us for staying! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the beds are "oh, so comfortable." Our son loved the river views and actually ended up sleeping in one of the large window boxes overlooking the city. The hotel is just across the street from the river and one block from the El loop and the red train station. The Chicago theater is just a block away too! It is just the perfect place to stay in this magnificent city!

This hotel was beautiful. I loved the way the suites were decorated. Also, the views from the window seats were beautiful. It's a very cozy and comfortable place to stay.

Architecture writers have described this location as Chicago's finest corner...with views of the River, the Wrigley Building, Marina City, the River skyline and on and on. The window seats are incredible for watching, napping or sleeping overnight. Be aware that people who work in the office building across Wabash Avenue (about 70 feet away) can and do observe the goings-on in the rooms -- and that some hotel guests do oblige them with ... let's just say ... "shows."

Hotel Monaco is a great place to stay in Chicago.

Great location 1 block from Michigan Ave right off Wacker and a short walk to tons of restaurants, bars and sights.

Rooms decorated is a bright and exciting color scheme making it different from your usual hotel.

My wife and I spent 2 nights at Hotel Monaco. The service was execellent and on time for room service meals. The view of the Chicago River from the corner suite was great, especially when they turned in green for St. Patrick's Day.
