amazing views and easy access to city attractions
I enjoyed my spacious room with a fantastic view of the city skyline. The cozy guest lounge offered great snacks and coffee to start my day right, all while being just a short stroll away from iconic spots like the Chicago Theatre and Cloud Gate.

Had an awesome time with friends! The views from our room were breathtaking, and we loved hanging out at the lounge. We hit the Buckingham Athletic Club for a workout, which was a nice perk. Just a heads-up, the hotel is on the 40th floor, so it might feel a bit tricky to find at first. But it was worth it for the beautiful spacious room and convenience to downtown activities.
We faced a frustrating experience with the front desk. They were hard to reach, and when we needed fresh sheets late at night, it took forever to get help. That was a bit disappointing.

Staying on the 40th floor gave us breathtaking views, and I loved sipping morning coffee while watching the sunrise—it was such a treat! The small gym and cozy lounge really made our downtime enjoyable. The only hiccup was the elevator transfer, which could get a bit tricky, but it didn’t overshadow our overall fantastic stay! 😊

The Buckingham offers incredible views from the 40th floor. My Deluxe King Room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, perfect for a business trip. The staff was friendly and attentive, assisting me promptly when I needed help with the business center. The lounge with coffee and snacks was a nice touch, allowing me to recharge during my busy schedule.
Complicated check-in experience and high parking fees.

stunning city views, unique location in downtown, spacious guest lounge
Dated bathrooms could use a design overhaul!!! Inconvenient elevator navigation made those with luggage frustrated during check-in!!! Poor Wi-Fi connectivity in rooms needs serious attention!!! Cleanliness inconsistencies were disappointing!!!

I loved the splendid views from the 40th floor and the convenient location just a block from the L trains. My room was quiet, which is a rare find in a big city! I felt very lucky to have found it, no complaints.

The view from our room was simply amazing! 😍 Waking up to the sunrise over the lake made everything else worthwhile. However, checking in was a bit chaotic as no one was at the front desk when we arrived.

Totally recommend for a short weekend trip
Spacious room, amazing view, with a breathtaking view of Lake Michigan from the 40th floor that makes every morning special and a convenient 5-minute walk from LaSalle/Van Buren metropolis makes exploration easy.
Nothing, all great.

Comfort with a View
Enjoyed our stay in a suite on the 40th floor! The morning coffee overlooking the lake was a highlight. The staff went above and beyond, especially at night when assistance was needed. For future guests, don’t miss the charming onsite restaurant for breakfast.

great view but somewhat noisy
The city skyline view impressed us every morning. The room was spacious, allowing us to comfortably relax after our days out.
The street noise could be distracting at times.

The view from my room was outstanding and the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. However, the room had issues like a cold temperature due to a malfunctioning thermostat and I did not receive the room I expected initially. It's a good option for a nice city getaway but could improve on room maintenance.
