Royal Treatment
Spent 3 nights at Chicago Trump in June for my birthday and it was four days of first-class service! Everything about Trump is bigger and goes beyond any other five star hotel that I have stayed at. For starters, the staff knew it was my birthday when we checked in. Somehow, through out the stay, the whole staff knew, I felt so important! I will list you the details, but I must tell you an example of "Trump Standards" - I guess my husband had mentioned to the concierage that we will celebrating my birthday dinner at the Vermillion (a highly recommended, superb Iron Chef Indian-Latin fusion restaurant) when he was asking for directions. Well, at the end of our dinner, the waitress brought out a birthday dessert, compliments of the Trump Hotel. Wow, to go the extra mile to call the restaurant and surprise me . . . . I was speechless :)
Other observations:
- Our suite was enormous, loved the kitchenette and the TV in the bathroom mirror, however was not overly impressed with the view - it was neither river nor city bc it was obstructed by a building
- the complimentry four fine truffled TRUMP chocolates WILL melt in your mouth . . . they sell them downstairs at the gift shop
- excellent gym, many machines and no wait for equipment, was not crowded
- first class, personal service through out the whole hotel
- the royal treatment continued as I enjoyed a wonderful facial at the Trump Spa, I was very impressed with their products and ended up buying some
- Looked forward to Trump breakfast, so many options! Choice of dine in or room-service. My favorite was the Èuropean breakfast, their chocolate coisssants really did remind me of Europe!
- some tourists might not find it close enough walking distance to Millenium Mile shopping
- The only negative was probably that even though we called in earlier, the room was not ready, so we had to wait a LONG time which was not easy after our red-eye flight 
- word of advice to Canadian travellers, when we were at the comedy theatre watching Vince Vaughn, the theatre did not let us buy alcohol because we only had our drivers licenses and not our passports! (we are in our 30's)
- 3 musts: a) we had (sorry Chicago deep, thick-crust pizza lovers!) very, very tasty wood-fired thin crust pizza from La Madia, wanted to try Coal-fire Pizza but it was closed - perfect crust and sauce for thin-crust pizza connoisseurs like myself!
 b) make sure you check out Fox and Obel market (yes, the one that Oprah goes to for Oatmeal Raisin cookies) for treats and fresh bread and other fantastic wine pairings and such
c) Having wine on the Trump Terrace was absolutley breathtaking, well worth the $50 corkage fee!
Needless to say, it was an excellent vaycay and I can`t wait to go back! It was good weather, and we met many friendly Chicago-ins, their mid-west mannerism really won us over!
