The Spotlight on The St. Clair Hotel - Magnificent Mile

Classic Charm Steps from the Beat of Chicago

Modern comfort meets historic flair at The St. Clair Hotel - Magnificent Mile, a European-style high-rise just one block off Chicago’s iconic shopping and entertainment stretch. With its prime downtown location, free WiFi, and cozy rooms featuring premium cable and coffee makers, this hotel is a smart pick for music lovers looking to stay in the middle of it all without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just an 8-minute walk to the Grand Avenue Red Line station, The St. Clair makes getting to and from concerts around the city a breeze—even late at night. Its central location means you’re a quick ride away from major venues, but far enough to unwind in peace afterward. While check-in starts at 4:00 PM, the friendly staff are known to be flexible when possible, and the quiet, clean rooms offer a great place to crash after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to explore downtown before and after the show
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list band
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a quiet space to recover post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want location without the high cost

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, you’re surrounded by walkable eateries serving up late-night bites, including classic Chicago favorites. There’s also a handy on-site snack shop for quick cravings, and many nearby spots serve brunch or breakfast perfect for the post-show sleep-in crowd.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, you’re just minutes from some of downtown Chicago’s best lounges, pubs, and late-night hot spots. Whether you're into rooftop drinks or low-key craft beer bars, you’ll find something nearby that hits the right note.

What People Say

Guests love the location, calling it “perfect for exploring the city on foot.” Many comment on the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, with special appreciation for the free WiFi and helpful staff. Travelers also note it’s a fantastic value, especially considering how close it is to major attractions and venues.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant or bar on-site, and some guests mention the rooms are on the smaller side. However, most agree that the location and price more than make up for it, especially for those spending most of their time out at shows or exploring the city.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for an affordable, stylish downtown base that keeps you close to Chicago’s music scene and nightlife, The St. Clair Hotel - Magnificent Mile hits all the right notes.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Tricia, Bloomington Sun, 26 February 2012

The hotel was under construction during our stay but the inconvenience was minimal. I would like to return when it is done to see what they did with it. The location is perfect. A short walk to many restaurants and Michigan Avenue is right there! It was very easy to get a cab to were we needed to and the door men were very helpful in flagging them down for us. I plan to stay there again in the future.

Liked: The location was perfect.

Filthy room and out of...

Liked: Convenient location
Disliked: Extremely dirty. My room didn’t even look like it had been cleaned. There was hair all over the sink and toilet and floor in the bathroom. The bed had stains on it and the whole room felt dingy and out of date. Do yourself a favor and spend more money for a nicer place.
