The Spotlight on Bluegreen Vacations Hotel Blake Ascend Resort Collection

Historic Style Meets Modern Comfort in Chicago’s South Loop


Blending classic architecture with contemporary flair, Bluegreen Vacations Hotel Blake Ascend Resort Collection is a boutique gem in Chicago’s vibrant South Loop. Just a short walk from Grant Park and Millennium Park, this hotel puts you in the heart of the action while offering a peaceful retreat from the city’s buzz. With oversized windows, rainfall showers, and natural bath products, rooms are designed for comfort and a touch of luxury.

Why Concert-goers love it


If you're heading to a show at one of Chicago’s nearby music venues, you’ll love this hotel’s prime location—less than a mile from major performance spaces and close to public transit. After a late-night encore, the quiet neighborhood vibe and plush bedding make it easy to unwind. Flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and a generous check-out at 12:00 PM give you time to rest up after the show.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish but relaxed base near the city’s nightlife
  • Solo travelers seeing that once-in-a-lifetime artist
  • Couples turning concert night into a full weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter escape after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who value comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options


The on-site Meli Café serves up homemade seasonal marmalades and all-day dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—perfect for post-show cravings. In-room dining is also available if you’re winding down in your PJs. While there’s no 24/7 dining, the café opens early enough for a solid brunch after a late night.

Nightlife Options


While the hotel itself doesn’t feature live music, you’re just a short walk or ride away from some of Chicago’s best bars, lounges, and music halls. Prefer to keep it low-key? The surrounding neighborhood has plenty of nearby spots for a nightcap or casual drink.

What People Say


Guests rave about the hotel’s charming historic character, friendly staff, and super walkable location. Many highlight the large windows and spacious bathrooms as unexpected perks. The atmosphere is often described as calm and comfortable—great after a high-energy show.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention that the lobby could use a refresh and that there’s no on-site bar. If you’re looking for a buzzing nightlife scene within the hotel itself, this may not be the place—but with Chicago’s hotspots nearby, it’s easy to venture out.

The Bottom Line


Bluegreen Vacations Hotel Blake Ascend Resort Collection offers a stylish, quiet landing spot in the heart of Chicago—perfect for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and a little breathing room between sets.

This is the most beautiful hotel I've ever visited. The staff is top class professional at every level. My husband and I were so impressed. The decor was stunning. We will return!

Liked: The staff were top class, especially the bellman(?) Michael who helped to find a lost cell phone. He took care of me like I was family!
Disliked: No hot tub or pool (lol).

Convenient location and satisfactory amenities

Liked: This hotel is located near multiple train and bus stops. It is also walkable to Millennium and Grant Parks. The room was comfortable and had the amenities we needed.
Disliked: The pillows were awful. We didn't find out until our last morning that there was complimentary coffee and ice water available in the secondary lobby.
