Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
The Drake is a 1920 landmark at the top of the Magnificent Mile in the Gold Coast, with afternoon tea at Palm Court and lake views. Rooms are traditional and the building holds Historic Hotels of America status. It suits travellers who want classic elegance near the lakefront. It sits a short walk from Oak Street Beach and the Gold Coast lakefront path.

Why it's in the collection

Oak Street Beach and the Gold Coast lakefront path are about a three minute walk for on-lead strolls, but note dogs are not allowed on the beach itself and the nearest legal off-lead beach, Montrose Dog Beach, is well to the north.

Best suited for

Up to two dogs to 75 lb, about 34 kg, in limited pet rooms, and dogs cannot be left alone.

Pet-friendly rooms are limited, so notify the hotel before arrival. Dogs may not be left unattended in the room. A grassy relief spot is near the property. The hotel's own amenities page lists a 50 USD non-refundable deposit, up to 2 dogs and a 75 lb maximum.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
