Loved by guests
"Personally I love the old world charm and character of this hotel."
"The atmosphere is grand and fancy, the afternoon tea was a unique event, the location is great--near shopping and a small park."
"Right next to shoreline and beach a short walk less than 10 minutes walk outside of hotel."
Featuring live entertainment and a shared lounge, the 4-star smoke-free The Drake Hotel Chicago is nestled about a 5-minute walk from the downtown Oak Street. Located fairly close to the skyscraper 360 Chicago Observation Deck, this perfect hotel overlooks the city and invites guests to have a drink at a lounge bar.
Location
The hotel boasts a waterfront location 0.8 km from Chicago underground station and only 500 m from the Chapel of St. James. The eight story mall "Water Tower Place" is a stone's throw from The Drake, while Michigan & Oak bus stop is approximately 5 minutes' walk away.
Nature lovers will enjoy exploring a lake across from this accommodation. Also, the hotel is 2.6 km from the 35-acre beautifully landscaped Lincoln Park Zoo, and Chicago Union train station is located 3.9 km away.

They are decorated with traditional furniture. Offering a roll-in shower and a separate toilet, the bathrooms are fitted with a hair dryer and dressing gowns.

Leisure & Business
Extra facilities include cribs and baby chairs for guests with children. There is a gym facility with a wide range of sports. Business travellers will have access to meeting rooms and a conference space provided on site.
“The hotel's historic charm and prime Gold Coast location, steps from luxe shopping and Oak Street Beach, create a unique experience. Original features, like older-style elevators and high-ceilinged rooms, blend with modern needs, including versatile event spaces and a comprehensive business center; however, some may find the building's age also brings less desirable aspects, like noise. I believe this property will most delight those seeking a taste of Chicago's past with convenient access to its present.”
