The Talbott, Autograph Collection

"We had a thoroughly charming and pleasant stay at The Talbott for Christmas this year. The location is ideal for a near-Michigan Avenue stay. The hotel has excellent amenities, with unique spaces and thoughtful design elements. But, the staff and their service is what makes this gem shine. If you want to feel authentically cared for, as if you are a treasured member of a special neighborhood and a personal guest of the hôtelier, treat yourself to a stay at this hotel."

"We have been guests of The Talbott Hotel for —gasp— 45 years— yes, before many of their new young employees now were born and long before it was on The Marriott radar. We became personal hospitality acquaintances with the original owners in the early 1990s, our luxury B&B was their small town, luxury inn “getaway” and The Talbott was our “big City” escape. We were loving hospitality family with all the Talbott concierge, front desk and bellman for all these decades. 🥰 The Talbott’s attached bar/restaurant came and went, it hardly mattered, though it’s always been perfectly OK. This week we returned and are happy to give the restaurant a 5 star review after this visit! I am delighted to report today that the restaurant has never been better, with excellent options for discriminating palates. The roasted mushroom toast was AMAZING, thank you Chef also for the accompanying salad with multicolored carrots, so delicious. Edgar, the young man who seated and waited on our table was particularly impressive. As for the hotel: Front desk at check in was updated about a year ago and is very upscale and hospitality was elegant and polite while being connected and personal, notably charming. Rooms are quiet, clean, with a quality Bluetooth music box, iPhone jack bedside. Rates are right on. Service all the way around was impressive, like the young woman who graciously offered two old folks like us a couple of umbrellas as we stepped out for dinner into unexpected rain this October night. You do not need to spend $1000-$1700 a night to stay beautifully in Chicago, just stay at The Talbott Hotel ! And WALKABLE TO EVERYWHERE!! It is with great affection and with Talbott memories of concierge Gene, doormen Charles, Perry, and Dwayne, and so many others over the decades, who have made our life a joy in Chicago, that I share this review. Love and gratitude , Robert and Elaine"

"Room was nice but VERY small. Shower was also very nice but sooo tiny and narrow. If you are into tiny hotel rooms this is your place. Good location ... be prepared to wait on the elevator."
