The Amalfi is REALLY Romantic

by AmberMi at Citysearch

My boyfriend and I just needed a quick getaway and some alone time together. We hadn't stayed at the Amalfi before but heard good things about it so we decided to give it a try. We REALLY lucked out - this hotel is GREAT! They had just finished with a renovation of their lobby. I don't know what the lobby looked like before but it looks really great. My boyfriend was staring at this wavy wall the entire time while I checked us into the hotel. The free breakfast & food and drinks and night were a nice touch and helped us out when it came to our budget. Love the Amalfitini! Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

• Pros: Romantic, Friendly, Great Location, Free Wifi

A Gem

by rterron at Citysearch

I found a great deal on one of the travel websites and I must say I was nervous since I had not heard of Amalfi before. The fact is you just never know what you're going to get when you go to a hotel that's not a chain hotel. Never the less we decided to check it out and we were more than pleased! The staff were great... It was very European and modern. There's a continental breakfast every morning and it was great. The room was spacious enough and comfortable and most important clean. The hotel is close enough to walk to shopping. We were overall pleased!

A Bueatiful Hotel with wonderful staff

by mjholman77 at Citysearch

The decor wonderful, the staff so attentive and the perks are worth the price, I would HIGHLY recommended anyone staying at this hotel...the turn down services helps to end a busy exciting day in Chicago. Make sure that you wake up early for breakfast and don't forget the free cocktails on the 6th floor at 5:30PM every night!! I loved my stay and would stay again!

• Pros: very friendly staff, cocktail reception, wonderful light breakfast
• Cons: some views restrickted

comfortable and classy

by shengal at Citysearch

Great location, in walking distance to River North, Magnificent Mile, the Loop. I stayed 3 nights. The sleek furnishings were very comfortable - I appreciated the easy chair with ottoman especially - and the colors were warm and inviting (yellow towels, pastel sheets). Pillows and bed were very comfortable. Staff very warm and helpful. The free continental breakfast on each floor was very nice - actually had very good coffee and top quality danish, muffins, sweet breads, croissants, etc. Price was the best in the area. And the scale was very human. I'll go back next time I need to be in downtown Chicago. Eat at the Vermilion, a block away, while you're there!

• Pros: decor, comfort, location

Loved this hotel!

by bebe624 at Citysearch

Just got back last week and this hotel was PERFECT! Small boutique hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are nicely decorated and turndown service every night was an added bonus. I loved the Aveda bath products too.

The best thing is they have a complimentary happy hour every day with top shelf alcohol, not the cheap stuff. Oh yes and they also have free internet ... :)

Next time I'm in Chi-town, I'll be staying at the Amalfi again.

• Pros: great staff, free happy hour, comfy beds
• Cons: no pool

A contemporary hotel with Mediterranean warmth in the heart of Chicago's River North neighborhood.

by Robyn Galbos at Citysearch

The Scene
Natural light floods the compact lobby, which has high ceilings and tall windows. Colorful wall tiles and a turquoise-and-rust color scheme lend the space a Mediterranean feel; contemporary furniture creates an urban vibe. Guests can enjoy complimentary continental breakfast served every morning in the hallway of each floor. A common living area on the sixth floor, complete with couches, chairs and a television, is the scene of complimentary cocktail receptions every evening.

The Details
The 210 rooms and five suites are decorated in warm earth tones and clean, contemporary lines. In-room luxuries include CD-DVD players, InStyle and GQ magazines, bathrobes, fully stocked honor bars, pillow-top mattresses, 316-thread-count Egyptian cotton linens, Aveda bath products and dual-head showers. Complimentary in-room Wi-Fi, a spacious 24-hour fitness center, cordless phone with voice mail, and cable television are other conveniences. Suites have extra living space and corner views.

Amalfi As Beauiful as it sounds

by theresa10 at Citysearch

I highly recommend the Amalfi Hotel.The rate is decent and has a few amenities that really give the Hotel an edge. First the Rooms are Beautiful, Sleek and very Modern. Aveda products in the Bathroom, which is My favorite of the Room, along with the dual shower heads. Every Morning there is a Breakfast set up on each floor where the elevators are. You can stroll down to the Elevators and help Yourself to all the goodies. Wear Your Soft and Silky robe to get coffee. You won't be the only one. Each Evening they have a Cocktail gathering, with all the works. Snacks of Meat and Cheese's and the House Martini Amalfini. One could be deadly. The best thing about the Hotel is the Staff. Everyone is so nice and go out of their way to make Your stay Wonderful. Trust Me on this one, it's Awesome...

• Pros: off Mich. Ave, Small Hotel, Personalized service
