I'd recommend checking the Internet deals and then calling the hotel directly. They matched a rate I found on Orbitz and I was able to request a room on the top floor. We were worried about the construction noise levels as indicated on this site. We stayed for two nights 9/19 and 9/20. After returning on 9/19 we noticed the... more

Hotel Burnham - Chicago We recently stayed for 3 nights at the Hotel Burnham and would definately recommend it. It is in a great location and the hotel's decor is beautiful. After a long trip there we received a warm greeting from the hotel staff and the room we stayed in had a fabulous view over the streets of Chicago... more

Stayed two nights. As others have said, small reception area, small rooms but all very pretty. Staff was very good. Location was outstanding for what we were doing -- theater and getting married at City Hall -- all within 2 blocks. We enjoyed the restaurant: had a couple of breakfasts and a dinner. Even if you are not a vegetarian... more

I stayed a couple of nights at the Burnham recently. It's got the qualities of a small hotel and the amenities of a large one. The staff were friendly andvery professional. The restaurant is one of the best in downtown. The location is perfect for museums, shopping, strolling the waterfront. The room was immaculate and comfortable (the bed was great!).... more

I've stayed at the Burnham this summer for a few business trips that I've had in Chicago and I'm always pleased with the top quality of the hotel. The rooms aren't that large, but they are beautifully decorated with high quality furnishings, and are always spotless. The restaurant is a little pricey and the menu isn't that diverse, but the... more

My 2 teenage daughters and I wanted a short weekend away and i was lucky enough to take advantage of a TravelZoo promotion at the Hotel Burnham in Chicago. From the welcoming e-mail we received a couple of days ahead of arrival right to the loading of the car at departure we were treated like royalty. The luxurious rooms,the restored... more

The Hotel Burnham is a great spot in Chicago's Theatre District and near many downtown tourist attractions (e.g. Sears Tower, Chicago Theatre, etc.). Some of the more unique features of the hotel include an old style elevator with gate and the use of keys to open your room...yes, real keys (not cards)! The rooms are small, but very tastefully done,... more

This hotel is living off its former glory. It desperately needs a makeover. What was considered luxurious and well designed 30 years mow seems run of the mill and verging on tacky. The tv set was a 30 year old clunker from Zenith. I don't care much for television when I travel (I don't think I turned it on once).... more

The Burnham is a lovely smaller hotel in an historic buliding right smack-bang in the middle of Chicago, great for shopping (right across the road from Marshall Fields) and access to the theatres. You can't beat the location, and the staff were friendly and attentive. My room was tiny (as you would expect from the location) but very well appointed... more
