The Hoxton, Chicago

Excellent vibes, always. Its design definetly has a lot of concept. The staff are always pleasant, the bar is always packed and the breakfast at cira really good. Next trip to Chicago, this is the spot

Small room, no closet (which drove my colleagues crazy), tiny bathroom albeit with large shower (no tub) which enclosed almost 50% of bathroom floor space. Shampoo, conditioner, bath, gel, body lotion, hairdryer, steamer, coffee pot, mini fridge, room safe. No desk in room (which also drove my colleagues crazy). Choices for parking are on your own or valet. Tiny pool 10 ft long by sixish wide. Small fitness room with two Peloton bikes, two treadmills and some hand weights. Free WiFi Super thick window glass, which cuts down outside noise except for the trains. Rooms on southside fair amount of noise from the train/L. as well as corridor and from room next-door. Poor bedside reading lights. Not great room lighting overall as well. 2 bikes in lobby 2 and a half blocks from Green and Pink line L station. Lots of really good restaurants in walking distance.

Our stay at The Hoxton, Chicago was absolutely wonderful. The room was cozy, beautiful, and incredibly comfortable—exactly the kind of space that makes you want to linger a little longer. The staff was warm, welcoming, and made the entire experience feel effortless from start to finish. Our room had a fabulous view, which made both mornings and evenings feel even more special. A particularly thoughtful touch was the welcome card waiting in the room, acknowledging our belated Mother’s Day weekend celebration. It was such a simple but meaningful gesture that made us feel truly welcomed and appreciated. Room service was prompt, and the food was genuinely delicious. I enjoyed the fluffiest French toast, perfectly enhanced with granola and apple butter—an unexpected favorite! The bacon was cooked to the perfect crisp, and the eggs were light and fluffy, with the cheese melted beautifully on top. We also enjoyed lunch at Cabra, which was such a highlight of our stay. The shareable portions were absolutely delicious, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal together. The flavors were vibrant, fresh, and beautifully balanced in every dish. My personal favorites were the shrimp ceviche and the chicken thigh skewers—both were packed with flavor and prepared perfectly. I also loved the “I Guava Have It” cocktail, which was refreshing, creative, and the perfect complement to lunch. Every detail—from the thoughtful hospitality to the incredible dining experiences—made the weekend feel elevated and memorable. I would absolutely stay at The Hoxton again and highly recommend it for anyone looking for comfort, style, exceptional service, and amazing food in Chicago.

Overall, I’d give The Hoxton, Chicago a 4.1/10. For the price point and reputation, it really did not meet expectations. The hotel feels more focused on getting people to spend money at their restaurants and bars than taking care of the actual hotel guests staying there. One of the biggest disappointments was not even being able to get a reservation at the rooftop restaurant within 3 hours while staying at the hotel. For a property that markets itself as an upscale experience, you’d expect hotel guests to have some level of priority or accommodation. I booked through the American Express Hotel Collection and unfortunately they also did not honor the complimentary room upgrade or the late checkout benefits that are commonly associated with Hotel Collection bookings. That made the experience even more disappointing, especially considering the premium price. Compared to other Hotel Collection properties, this one fell short in service, guest experience, and overall value for the money. The aesthetic and location are nice, but overall the experience didn’t justify the cost or the rating this hotel currently has.

Staff is great. Rooms are small but good. Unfortunately the lobby is super loud. There is a club atmosphere in the evening, which is fine because guests usually have plans. But there was a DJ playing on Saturday at 1pm that made it impossible to stand and have a planning conversation with guests. The nearby train noise didn't wake us but did bother some of our friends who were closest to it.

Great location that is walkable to many bars, restaurants, and shops. Also right near a subway stop. Great free bikes! Only issue is that my wife (5’5”) was too short to comfortably ride their bikes. Hopefully they get a women’s size bike soon. We used DIVVY bikes for her. Rooms are small but modern, clean, and comfortable. Love the water bottle filler in the hallway. The only downside is that one side of the hotel faces the elevated subway. We were on the 10th floor and still found it a little bothersome at night, even with a sound machine and earplugs. Request a room facing the other side.

Our first time in Chicago and we had an awesome stay! Thomas at the front desk was amazing and had some great recommendations that helped us truly enjoy our stay! Top notch customer service!
