Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love being just minutes away from some of Chicago’s best concert venues. Whether you’re heading to an arena show or an intimate club performance, you’re within easy reach—and better yet, you can stroll back to your hotel afterward. The hotel’s central location means short rideshare waits and late-night food options nearby.

Food and Drink Options

Thompson Chicago features an on-site restaurant perfect for pre-show dinners or late bites.

Sleep in after a show—there’s breakfast available to start your morning right, even if it's a little later than usual.

Nightlife Options

If your night doesn’t end after the encore, you’re in luck. The surrounding Gold Coast neighborhood is filled with upscale lounges, cocktail bars, and clubs.

Areas for Improvement

While the vibe is top-notch, some guests mention the lack of a full-service spa or pool as a downside for longer stays. Others suggest the mini bar could use more variety. Still, these are small notes in an otherwise standout experience.
