Located steps from the McCormick Place convention center, this 4-star property blends modern style with practical amenities for business travelers and tourists alike. Many rooms offer views of Lake Michigan, adding a relaxing backdrop to a busy day. Dining options include the on-site Woven + Bound restaurant, which serves a variety of meals despite mixed reviews on quality and price. The elevated walkways connect guests conveniently to Wintrust Arena and McCormick Place, shielding from Chicago's winds and weather.
The hotel excels as both a meeting venue and urban lodging, featuring spacious ballrooms with city views and a well-equipped business center including a FedEx Print & Ship location. While the surrounding neighborhood is more industrial with limited dining outside the hotel, it's balanced by attractions like the Art Institute of Chicago, Field Museum, and Shedd Aquarium just a short ride away.
Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the on-site gym facilities, and families benefit from kid-friendly services. Rooms lean on essentials rather than luxury extras, keeping the focus on location and meeting needs. The attentive housekeeping and smooth operation during busy event-packed days have been noted by several guests.

“Comfortable stay with clean rooms, modern decor and ample public spaces for sitting and lounging. Very limited amenities in the rooms with only soap and a small bottle of lotion. Restaurant Woven and Bound serves average quality of food at high prices. Location very convenient as one of 4 hotels near the convention center that is walkable. Neighboring area not a lot of shops or restaurants. Great gym facilities and nice M executive lounge.”
“Great hotel next to the convention center. The meeting space is great! They have space for a small meeting or a full on convention. The ballrooms have excellent views of the city and the food at this hotel is pretty good. They have a food court! (Bring back the homemade pop tarts!)”
“I’m a huge fan of Marriott brands , but I especially love the Marquis Hotels . This property is truly exceptional with amazing amenities everywhere . I recently stayed for a 2-day concert at Wintrust Arena , and it was so convenient that I barely had to step outside in the freezing wind -except for a late-night White Castle run . You can easily reach both McCormick Place and the W.A. through the elevated walkways . The rooms are elegantly styled , and the views from high floors are breathtaking . I was thrilled to get a top-floor room (#39!) . The staff was incredible-professional, friendly, and super helpful . Special shoutout to Eileen, the Food & Beverage Manager, and her team for making our stay extra memorable with delicious food and excellent service. Overall, an amazing hotel with perfect location, stunning views, and top-notch amenities. Definitely a must-stay in Chicago!”
“Great hotel. My housekeeping lady was sooooo nice. My room was so clean. I had a bad experience at another Chicago hotel and I was a little worried but this was the total opposite. It was very busy because of multiple huge events but they ran it super smooth.”
