The Scene
The Drake has an elegance that's impossible to duplicate today. From the wainscoting in the wide hallways to the mail chutes and classic elevator doors, there are vintage delights everywhere, especially in the ornate lobby. Lounge lovers will enjoy the clubby, intimate Coq d'Or. Also on the arcade level are many high-end shops including George Mangel florists, Chanel, Georg Jensen Jewelers and W.H. Smith gift and sundry shop.
The Details
For all its historic splendor, the Drake offers all the amenities that guests have come to expect in a premium modern hotel, such as minibars, 24-hour room service, modem lines, a fitness room and complimentary newspapers. Its 537 guest rooms are large and luxurious and have separate seating areas and foyers; suites offer views of the city or the lake.

This place is beautiful from the outside, but some of the rooms are quite dated. The location at the north end of Michigan Ave, with the lakefront path and Oak Street beach steps away, is perfect.

I always stey at the Drake when visiting the windy city. You get what you pay for. One on the few classics that still stick out in a scenery with high-rises and busy streets. Comfort and luxury.

I was expecting so high class hotel, but it did have a funky old smell to it. Maybe they need to seal the brick walls from the rooms. I dont know, all i know is it was creapy. I rather have stayed at The W.
