The Gwen is located in a fantastic location with easy access to so many iconic Chicago locations. The vibe was hip and casual with an iconic Moet & Chandon vending machine in the lobby! We had a generous sized double queen and though located pretty much right next to the elevator we were not disrupted by noise.
