Top South Pond Hotel Reviews

Claridge House Chicago, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This is my favorite hotel in Gold Coast. The room was tidy and well stocked with amenities. The bar/lobby has a great vibe, morning and night. Such a great staff!"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"Hotel is located in nice quiet neighborhood, close to the beach and downtown. We tayed for a few nights. All staff members were very friendly and helpful. Our room was small with queen size bed, even so we booked king bed. Food and drinks at the bar were delicious."

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our favorite downtown hotel!!"

Hotel Lincoln

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and rooftop bar has great views"

The Willows Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was just right for us. The location is quiet but close to the busy areas. Older and a bit worn but lots of character and charm. Parking was easy with SpotHero and the rooftop of the shopping center just down the block."

Villa D' Citta

10/10 Excellent

"What an absolutely remarkable place! It genuinely feels as though a beautiful piece of historic Italy has been transported into this Chicago neighborhood. The architecture, thoughtfully selected ornate decor, warmth, and attention to detail create an atmosphere that is both elegant and incredibly welcoming. This is not simply a place to stay. It is an experience. And then there is Gina! Her hospitality is in a class of its own. From preparing a wonderful breakfast to serving homemade banana bread, she has a natural gift for making guests feel like family. Frankly, she could teach a master class in hospitality. I almost hesitate to share just how exceptional this place is because once people discover it, I have no doubt it will become a destination in its own right. Having stayed in countless places from California to New York, I can say without hesitation that this property stands among the very best. It sets a new standard for character, comfort, authenticity, and genuine hospitality. There is something special about a place that manages to feel both first-class and like coming home. Gina and Don, you have created something truly extraordinary. You didn't just get this place right. You knocked it out of the park! I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I would return in a heartbeat."

One block from Lincoln Park and the zoo

10/10 Excellent

"Great property, great hosts! The parking space was a big plus. Conveniently located to everything you would need."

Near Zoo and Beach • Reading Nook + Parking

10/10 Excellent

"We were a group of four adults and enjoyed our stay in this apartment very much. It is in an old building but is recently renovated and is very clean and comfortable. Having a parking spot is certainly a bonus, although if you don’t plan any day trips outside the city you could probably manage without a car. The location is excellent – a metro station, a grocery store and many cafes and restaurants are within easy walking distance. Communication with the host was outstanding. All our questions before and during our stay were answered within minutes. We would gladly stay here again."
