The Spotlight on Millennium Knickerbocker Chicago

Classic Chicago Elegance Steps from the Music

Modern luxury meets Jazz Age charm at the Millennium Knickerbocker Chicago, a 4-star hotel located just off the Magnificent Mile. Housed in a historic landmark building, this upscale stay is the perfect mix of vintage glamour and contemporary comfort. Expect plush bedding, rainfall showers, and 1920s-inspired cocktails – all just minutes from Chicago’s premier concert venues and entertainment hubs.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short walk or quick ride away from major concert venues like the Chicago Theatre and House of Blues. The hotel’s central location means late-night rideshares are easy and fast. With a 24-hour gym and flexible check-out at noon, you can sleep off that encore set in comfort. Plus, its historic architecture and cozy ambiance make for a quiet, classy retreat after a high-energy show.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking to stay near nightlife and shopping
- Solo travelers catching a dream concert
- Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
- Fans wanting a peaceful recovery after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want luxury vibes

Food and Drink Options

The on-site NiX restaurant serves up farm-to-table eats perfect for a pre-show meal or a late bite. The Martini Bar is a must for classic cocktails and live jazz piano on select nights. While 24/7 room service isn’t offered, the location places you within walking distance of late-night eateries, cafes, and bars. And yes – there’s breakfast available for those slower mornings after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

Catch a live jazz set without leaving the hotel at the Martini Bar, or head out to Gold Coast bars and lounges just steps away. Whether you’re into speakeasies, rooftop cocktails, or dive bars, you’ll find something in walking distance. Navy Pier and River North’s buzzing nightlife are just a quick Lyft away.

What People Say

Guests love the elegant historical vibe, with many praising the vintage style of the rooms and beautiful Crystal Ballroom. The location is unbeatable for both shopping and entertainment. Reviewers often mention the friendly staff, comfortable beds, and easy access to the lakefront.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms show signs of wear, and a few guests mention the bathrooms could use a minor refresh. Wi-Fi isn't always lightning fast, and there's no pool – but most concert-goers are too busy enjoying the city to mind.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable location, historic charm, and easy access to music venues, the Millennium Knickerbocker Chicago is a top pick for concert-goers looking to stay in style.

Christen, Bowling Green, visiting Ruth Page Center for the Arts

Overall great experience. Very charming hotel with very friendly staff. It's older so there are subtle details needing some aesthetic updating. However it did not take away from a wonderful experience.

Liked: Quite charming.
Disliked: No hypo-allergenic sheets and the sheets on the bed were cheap; low thread count sheets; there was a musty smell of powder in our room.

Only stay here if you...

Liked: Good location. Close to Michigan Ave
Disliked: Significantly overpriced. $1800 for 5 nights and they put an additional hold for $100 per day on your card for amenities. And then you have wait for several days to have it credited back to your account? I also needed to check out early and they didn’t allow me to be credited. I asked 2 different staff members and they said nothing they could do. They said since the reservation was made thru booking.com, I could not be credited for the reduced stay. They said don’t use booking.com if you plan on changing your departure date. I stayed in New York City a block from Times Square in a nicer motel for less $$$. Also, do yourself a favor and look into getting your own offsite parking. Their price as close to $300. I found my own parking for $170.
