"Had such a great weekend in Chicago - and really enjoyed our stay at the Pendry. It was the perfect location to be able to walk everywhere! The rooms were new, clean, and the beds were very comfy. The shower pressure was perfect (which is a small detail but made all the difference) The entire staff was very accommodating. The concierge even helped us get a reservation on a busy Saturday night in the city! Will be back!"
