On a quiet block near the Loop, this 45-story pink-granite tower fluctuates between the understated and the opulent, with a huge, glistening chandelier in the foyer and guest rooms bedecked in less-than-brilliant shades of beige. Good thing that it caters to the chatty; there are three telephones pe...

Disappointed - user review
I was disappointed with my stay at the Fairmont. I was expecting something special at the Fairmont and I don't feel like we got that. To begin with, the location of the hotel is not that good; it's hidden back in a corner. Next, the room was nothing special it is larger than some of the other rooms ...

Staff were extremely friendly, food very expensive but good. A very service oriented place. I couldn't find any parking garages that allowed overnight, so the valet is really the only way to go.

Nice, comfortable hotel - user review
The Fairmont is a nice, comfortable hotel, with some luxury amenities. Staff is extremely friendly. The attached Lake Shore Athletic Club and spa is very large and convenient (but the $20 per day fee to use it seems a bit steep). Only the limited dining choices would keep me from staying here again....
