My wife and I frequently stay at hotels in Chicago for a weekend in the city.

Bad Name. Bad Hotel. - user review
The international hospitality ends up being European, snobbish, and cold. The lobby and the restaurants are cold and uninviting and we ended up eating and racking up a bar tab elsewhere. Which, by the way, the Swissotel was rather far away from.After spending the following day at Taste of Chicago, w...

Not As Good As It Used To Be - user review
I must say I was disappointed with Swissotel. I had the priviledge to stay in the same hotel over 10 years ago and enjoyed the experience so much that I chose it for my 20th anniversary destination.
