Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
The Gwen is an Art Deco building on the Magnificent Mile with a rooftop terrace and design inspired by sculptor Gwen Lux. It suits dog owners who want a central base near the river and Millennium Park. It is a pet-friendly hotel taking dogs up to 40 lb. One distinctive detail is the rooftop terrace, Upstairs at The Gwen.
