The Penthouse at Grand Plaza
Chicago
Отзывы
This was our second summer in a row staying in one of Jim and Jeri-Lou’s penthouses, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. Both stays were absolutely wonderful. The penthouses are spotless, well maintained, thoughtfully stocked, and comfortable. And the views? Stunning! One of the things we love most is that these are private residences rather than hotel rooms. The owners provide clear, detailed check-in and check-out instructions, which we appreciated. The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore everything Chicago has to offer. Having a grocery store on the ground floor and a fully equipped kitchen made it convenient to prepare meals whenever we wanted. We also enjoyed the building amenities, including the pool, which was the perfect place to relax and cool off after a full day of shopping along nearby Michigan Avenue. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend Jim and Jeri-Lou’s penthouses to anyone looking for an exceptional place to stay in Chicago. If you’re looking for the comfort of home, spectacular views, and a perfect location, this is the place to book.
This is not a hotel. It is a business plaza skyscraper with a narrow ground floor lobby, lobby front desk attendant/security, mailroom, business center, package/mail room, elevators, etc. you won't find in a bellmen, however the front desk and front door attendants are helpful and kind individuals who will break their leg t+o assist you. You will feel the disconnect from any typical luxe hotel schematics, space, amenities, and customer service. There are no personalized concierge requests, early check-in or late check-out, readily duplicating lost key cards, room service, lobby bar, main house housekeeping. Hotel is just not the best thing for that space. Don't go there with an entitled, spoiled, or uncompromising disproportion Otherwise, absolutely no issues with host or property or security. Apartment is smaller than it reads. A little older, couple touchups here and there would (+it up) , overall very very very comfortable, convenient, affordable. It was a nice stay!
We have been at the Grand Plaza in 2019 already, so when we came back in August 2025 almost felt like coming home. The Place was comfortable and what was for vacation very Helpful that everything you needed Even Zip Lock bags for City Tours were in the kitchen, and you have extra towels for the beautiful Pool Area which is equipped with Multiple Grills were we at Dinner and chatted with the mostly tenants living here. Everyone was extremely friendly and Lou and James helped us with some special requests we had. We had Apartment 7 and even a look from the balcony towards the Navy Pier Fireworks while we were there. Unfortunately the Navy Pier Trolley which was stopping right at the front door die not exist anymore, but with the Bus Line and Grand station right next to the building you can get to anywhere in the City with Public transportation. If we manage to safe up for another trip, we would go there again.
