Reviews
We kicked off our wedding weekend with a super fun Welcome Party the night before, and then celebrated with 260 guests in the stunning Gold Coast Room for our reception. So many of our friends and family — of all ages and backgrounds — told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. They were blown away by the beauty of the space, the impeccable service, the delicious multi-course dinner, and the quality of drinks.
I wholeheartedly recommend The Drake for anyone planning a wedding or even just a stay in Chicago. Compared to other Downtown venues, the pricing was fair — and in return, we got so much more value, beauty, and care than we ever expected.
This day will stay with us forever. Thank you, Ali and Ariella, and the entire Drake team — you helped make it unforgettable!
A+++ and 10/10!
Anyone who believes the rooms are "dated" is NOT "getting it". This is THE DRAKE, a hotel of a bygone era of classic and impeccable tastes. Wallpaper, lion drawer pulls and a TUB you can actually SOAK IN?!?! Yes, please!!!
I will admit a fridge and a microwave would be nice modern touches but do not, do not, change the style of the hotel!!!! Please do not listen to these reviews about "upgrading" anything!!
Upon entry you can smell flowers galore, with chandeliers welcoming you on every floor. We had a lovely Lakeview room, complimentary upgraded upon asking. Yes, there was no free breakfast, but there was no need when you have The Original Pancake House around the corner from the hotel! Free bottles of water available at the front desk. The teamaker was fine, worked properly. Housekeeping was done and fine.
The staff was courteous and sweet..Chris, the African American doorman offered to take pictures, hug my sick mother and I, and just a nice person. The location on the Magnificent Mike was top notch. I will gladly return again!!!
Yes, the hotel has an old-school vibe, and while some areas might benefit from modernization, everything was clean, well-maintained, and functional. The entrance is stunning, and the bellhops were consistently friendly. Housekeeping was also great. All in all, a lovely experience in a legendary hotel.
