Loved by The Drake Hotel 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."
Situated about a 5-minute walk from the Loyola University Museum of Art, the 4-star smoke-free The Drake Hotel Chicago offers a private art gallery. Located in the vicinity of Lincoln Park, the unique hotel features an à la carte restaurant, live entertainment and a shared lounge.
Location
This hotel is notable for its excellent location only 250 m from the skyscraper 360 Chicago Observation Deck and 3.9 km from Chicago Union train station. The Chicago Cultural Center is within 25 minutes' walk of the perfect Drake in Chicago.
Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Oak Street Beach, which is approximately 400 metres away. Macy's on State Street is 2.1 km away, and Chicago underground station is within a few blocks of this accommodation.

Leisure & Business
The property offers cribs and baby chairs for children. There is a gym at this hotel.
“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.”
