Last summer, my mom, best friend, and her mom went to Chicago for a fun girl's weekend. I am very hard to please, so I got to search for our hotel. Glad I did!! I spent probably 1 week searching hotels in Chicago based on location, customer reviews, etc. We could not have had a better weekend!
We had drinks every night before dinner at the little bar in the lobby, ate dinner and breakfast one day at their restaurant. It was pricey, but definitely worth it. The night we ate at the restaurant, we were in a slight rush because we had a Broadway show to see. We informed our waiter, and he was so helpful with providing fast service!
My friend and I even ventured off to Oprah's store (huge fan), and when the conceirge got us a cab, he explained where we wanted to go. The taxi driver had no clue where he was talking about (how did he NOT know where Oprah's store was??!!) and so the conceirge grabbed the hotel's SUV and took us there ourselves!
The rooms were fabulous. The decor was ultra modern, and very cute. The rooms were a bit small, but I read that was usual for staying in a big city like Chicago.
The staff made recommendations for places to go out for me and my friend, as we are 20 somethings and our moms are 50 somethings. All the recommendations were right on. We talk about our trip to Chicago all the time, and are most definitely are planning on staying at the James.
BTW, if you use Kiehl's products-it's your luck! They use them in the hotel rooms! :)
