The Spotlight on InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

Luxury Stay in the Heart of Chicago's Music Scene

Modern elegance meets historic charm at the InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile an IHG Hotel, located right on the iconic Michigan Avenue. This upscale hotel puts you steps from downtown Chicago’s top attractions, nightlife, and music venues. With its blend of rich history and contemporary amenities—like an indoor pool with bleacher seating and a renowned steakhouse—this hotel sets the stage for an unforgettable concert weekend.

Why Concert-goers love it

Set in a prime downtown location, this hotel is less than a mile from big-name venues and late-night hotspots. After the final encore, you can walk or grab a short ride back to your room without hassle. The 24-hour front desk and business center are ideal for night owls, and the quiet, soundproofed rooms offer a perfect post-show wind-down. With flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and checkout at 11:00 AM, it works well even for short weekend stays.

Lovely room. Well-appointed. Excellent elevator service to the 37th floor. Easy check in and check out. Stored our bags after checkout. Maid service excellent. Great shower head.

Disliked: Wasn't able to cool the room to the temperature I desired. A little warm.

Michael, Brookfield, visiting Sound-Bar Chicago Mon, 17 February 2014

My wife and I went downtown for dinner with friends and a party at the Y bar. I chose the Intercontinental Hotel based on its reviews. Checked in right at 3:30 and the hotel had four lines going to get people their rooms quickly, which we had in 5 minutes. We went to our room on the 23rd floor of the Grand Tower and the room was a perfect size. We dropped our luggage and went out shopping! For shoppers and eaters, you have everything you want. We came back to get ready for the night and I laid down for 20 minutes in the bed and could have stayed there the rest of night. The king bed was excellent. We made it out and came back late - hotel room was quiet and the bed again was comfortable. Nothing bad to say but understand when you are in Chicago, parking is expensive and the rooms will be small. Hotel staff was nice of what we saw and wouldn't care if they didn't walk around with required smiles! Enjoy your stay!

Liked: King bed was excellent; room was a perfect size and it was quiet after a night on the town!
Disliked: Nothing negative to say!
