L7 Chicago by Lotte

The location is excellent, close to everything, and we liked having separate rooms. They were spacious and comfortable. I enjoyed the cappuccino machine on the second floor. The rooms are a little dated, but I wasn’t there to live. The front-facing windows look out onto a view that may feel like a heavy glow, if you stay there you’ll know what I mean. Some people might love it. Either way, I recommend the place.

The staff were so sweet. For our anniversary they brought champagne, a cupcake, and a card. I loved the spacious room and sitting in the window. It’s quite high up, so if you’re short, be ready to hop up to see out, but the view is amazing. Perilla is a bit pricey, though the food made up for it. The specialty coffee machine in the lobby saved us time searching for a coffee shop, and there’s a nice coffee maker in the room too. This hotel was amazing.

We stayed overnight so we could have dinner and see a show. The room was comfortable and the amenities were good, but breakfast at the hotel restaurant before we hit the road was the star. My avocado toast was excellent, with just the right amount of spice. Get the house-made English muffins whatever you order, they were fluffy and incredible, unlike any other English muffin. The lemon house-made pancakes were just as fluffy and divine. My husband had steak and eggs, and the steak was perfect with really tasty chimichurri.

The room is immaculate and the city view is stunning. We’re looking forward to the rest of our weekend getaway, and really appreciate the hospitality so far. The check-in experience at the L7 was exceptional, from the warm welcome by the door staff to the efficient, friendly front desk agent. The whole front desk team did a great job, and they went above and beyond to take care of my pre-arrival requests. Thank you to Mary, the front office manager, for exceeding my expectations and making our weekend special.
