Historic Hotel in Downtown Chicago
I stayed at The Drake for 5 days for work this October. The room was quite nice - I had a room facing the lake. The staff was helpful and the hotel seemed to be very well taken care of both in the main lobby and meeting rooms as well as the hotel rooms. The location is pretty awesome - close to a lot of shopping, restaurants and the lake. The restaurant was decent but not sure if I would eat there if I wasn't staying there. The one issue with the hotel is that it isn't really ADA compliant due to it being a historic building - I had a friend in a wheelchair who stayed at the hotel who did have some issues, that being said the staff was INCREDIBLY accommodating and did help him get through the different meeting rooms. Definitely a beautiful, old world hotel.
