The Spotlight on Kimpton Gray Hotel By IHG

Chic Comfort Steps from Chicago's Music Scene

Modern and refined, the Kimpton Gray Hotel brings boutique luxury to the heart of Chicago’s Loop. Just a few blocks from the Magnificent Mile and close to iconic theaters and music venues, this stylish spot blends classic architecture with upscale, contemporary design. With rooftop views, a sleek atmosphere, and thoughtful amenities, it’s tailor-made for music fans looking to explore the city by day and unwind in style by night.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits all the right notes for live music lovers. It’s within walking distance of Chicago’s top concert venues and just a five-minute stroll from the Washington/Wells CTA station, making late-night transport a breeze. Complimentary evening wine hour adds a social vibe before the show, while late check-out at noon is perfect for sleeping in after a big night out. Plus, the quiet, well-insulated rooms offer a surprisingly peaceful retreat amidst the buzz of the city.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends planning a weekend of shows and city fun
- Solo travelers checking off a dream concert in Chicago
- Couples turning a gig into a romantic getaway
- Fans who want a relaxing, stylish space to recharge
- Budget-conscious music lovers looking for boutique vibes without breaking the bank

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. Head up to Boleo, the rooftop bar and lounge, for Latin-inspired small plates and cocktails under the city lights—perfect after a show. Downstairs, Vol. 39 offers a moody, book-lined bar with craft drinks and a quieter vibe. While there’s no 24/7 room service, late-night bites at Boleo and nearby eateries make up for it. And yes, breakfast is available if you’re recovering from a night of music.

Nightlife Options

From rooftop cocktails to cozy cocktails at Vol. 39, the nightlife starts right at the hotel. But if you're looking to keep the party going, you’re within walking distance of Chicago’s best bars, lounges, and late-night spots. Whether you're into jazz clubs, rooftop lounges, or neighborhood dives, it’s all easily accessible.

What People Say

Guests rave about the rooftop ambiance, the central location, and the hotel’s stylish design. Many mention the friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and the vibe of the evening wine hour. Reviews also highlight the easy access to public transportation and proximity to theaters and venues.

Areas for Improvement

While most love the chic atmosphere, some guests note that the lobby and bar areas can get busy during peak times. Also, while the hotel offers a high-end boutique feel, it may not be ideal for those looking for ultra-budget accommodations.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a stylish, centrally located stay with rooftop vibes and easy transit, the Kimpton Gray Hotel hits all the right notes.

Good value for price

Liked: Hotel was in a beautiful old building, very clean, staff were fabulous, room was very comfortable and quiet
Disliked: Room was not stacked with a mini bar or pay for products, no salts, balms or bubbles for the bath - called the desk and they brought a very small salt option, isn’t really close to anything great but within a 10-15 minute walk to most places.

Good location / Quiet

Liked: Great location- very close to Lakefront- easy Blueline to OHare! Quiet! Love Kimpton happy hour and bikes!
Disliked: A little bit of a strange lay out - former office building that shares space with other uses now -rooftop restaurant wasn’t particularly interesting.
