Facilities

The Gwen, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Michigan Avenue Chicago offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Afternoon Tea Delight

“I highly recommend an afternoon tea at The Gwen. We opted to add the bottomless Prosecco package, and the extra $15 was more than worth it for the experience. Our server, Kayla, was fantastic, our glasses were always full and clearly explaining what was included in the tea package. The setting was great and offers many photo opportunities. I will definitely be back again for afternoon tea.” read full review

Comfortable Luxury

“The rooms at The Gwen are beautifully designed and exceptionally comfortable. The beds feel like they are infused with a magical potion-every night I slept like a baby! The variety of pillow firmness also made the room feel extra luxurious. I was really surprised by the thoughtful details throughout my stay.” read full review

“The rooftop bar at The Gwen is a fantastic place to unwind. When I visited, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the views were fine. I really enjoyed having drinks while taking in the beautiful skyline. It's a perfect spot, no matter the season, thanks to the outdoor terrace and heating features.” read full review

Spa-Like Bathtub

“One of my favorite features was the in-room bathtub with a spa-like experience. After a long day of exploring the city, soaking in the tub was heaven. The use of Molton Brown toiletries added that extra touch of opulence, turning my nightly routine into a refreshing treat.” read full review
