This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
You are steps from Grant Park, and the nearest fenced off-leash run, Grant Bark Park, sits at the south end near Roosevelt Road. Millennium Park's paths are great for a stroll, though the on-leash Lakefront Trail is a short walk east.
Dogs must be crated if left alone and are not allowed in any restaurant or bar by city law.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
Free, No pet fee, a USD 100 per night incidental hold applies to the room, and guests sign an animal waiver at check-in
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Max two pets per room. Dogs may relax in the lobby areas and on the guest-room floor but are not permitted inside restaurants or bars (Cindy's rooftop is service-animals-only). Pets left alone must be crated. Guests sign an animal waiver at check-in. No on-site relief area, so ask the doorman for the nearest spot.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
