You name 'em, we've stayed in 'em... Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Waldorf-Astoria, Shangri-La, Intercontinental, Wynn, Bellagio - in the U.S., in Asia, in Europe, in Las Vegas... The Trump in Chicago may have been our very favorite yet!! Hotel and room are stunning; service was impeccable. Elegant and upscale WITHOUT being pretentious, and definitely comfortable. Visited with our 15 & 12 year old boys for a weekend in the city and Jimmy Buffett concert, and could not have been more pleased that we chose the Trump.
Upon booking, was asked the name and ages of my children... curious question, I thought, until we got to the room and waiting for each of my boys was some fresh "Chicago Mix" popcorn (presumably from Garrett's), and a note inviting each boy to enjoy the snack along with an Root Beer Float, already waiting for them in the freezer in the room. I also happened to have mentioned my youngest's upcoming birthday, and sure enough, he was greeted with a personalized note on Trump letterhead wishing him a happy birthday and telling how "honored" they were that he chose to celebrate with them! Along with the note, of course, was a wonderful little birthday cake, elegantly decorated with gold leaf (he was VERY excited to eat gold!!). :-) We sometimes feel a little awkward traveling to 5-star hotels with our children - not to this one!! They could not have been more welcoming, and more kid-friendly.
The entire staff - from the front-desk, to the bellmen, valets, maids and service people - were professional, warm and friendly. There were even four bottles of cold "Trump Hotel" waters in each of my cup holders when the valet brought my car around! Okay, the shower did drain a little too slowly, but that is literally my only complaint, and THAT can be taken care of with a little Drain-o!!!
When we return to Chicago, it will most certainly be to The Trump!!
