This is a nice hotel, overall. Our room wasn't too big, wasn't too small. The staff here were pretty nice. The food in the restaurant was pretty good. This hotel is located in a pretty good location as well. We stayed in a regular room but we should have gotten a suite, I heard it was much nicer, even though $200 more. I might return here again.

Every year I meet up with friends for a weekend in Chi. & the Talbott is our choice hotel. Take advantage of the cafe off the lobby for a late afternoon bite to eat. Delicious and reasonable. Staff always friendly and helpful with everything we need. Will not let you down.

A great experience
by swkrupp
Picked this hotel at random as a place to stay while we celebrated our 25th anniversary in Chicago. And was not disappointed. The friendliness of the staff and the service was fabulous. We enjoyed the fireplace lobbies. This hotel definitely gets my vote and recommendations for anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay in Chicago. We enjoyed ourselves.

Home away from home
by Adhagen
The Talbott Hotel is warm and friendly. Everyone seems to know your name, even if you are part of a group. Beautiful renovated bathrooms, very large antique buffet piece in the cafe/bar from a villa in Italy. Elegant meeting space. It's in a perfect location off of Michigan Avenue and is a real bargan.
Pros: large bedrooms, comp fitness passes, clean bathrooms

Beautiful Hotel! Great Location!
by susando
I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It is a beautiful hotel in a great location right in the heart of the action. You walk into a lobby with phenominal decor and are greeted by a very friendly staff. The fireplaces and dark wood create a wonderful atmosphere which make you want to stay for longer. And they are one of the few hotels in Chicago to offer wireless internet which they give away for free!
