With its prime location, world-class amenities, and sophisticated design, this hotel serves as the perfect gateway to explore Chicago’s vibrant culture and iconic architecture.

The Gwen’s lobby sets the tone for your stay with its marble accents, high ceilings, and a touch of extravagance—highlighted by a gold champagne vending machine. The expansive space effortlessly combines historic charm with contemporary vibes, extending into a chic restaurant where guests can enjoy breakfast and dinner accompanied by the soft hum of jazz house music.

Rooms and suites at The Gwen are an embodiment of style and comfort.
