rooms were descent for a weekend stay, granted i spent most of it in the lobby at boom room... which is absolutely a scene on the weekend.. if your scenester i would recommend the place but for a quiet getaway their are better options.... valet parking is absurdly priced btw

There is a lot to admire about The Public. As mentioned the public spaces are quite nice. The lobby is lovely and the restaurant is top notch. They provide free coffee in the lobby in the AM and the wifi is solid and free (if a bit slow). I even thought the location was perfect (not sure why some reviewers... More

This boutique hotel in Chicago is in a gorgeous neighborhood & fairly priced. However, I have a few complaints: lighting not very good, so women doing make up might have trouble.i am not a fashionista or make up maiden by any accounts, but for those who like to be done up, this might be a problem. Also, no alarm clock,... More

Im a road warrior and I was excited to stay at the Public. Huge disappointment. The lobby area is beautiful and inviting however there are so many things I do not like about the hotel. I will NEVER come back. The rooms are small making this a very overpriced hotel for what you get. The bathrooms even smaller. There is... More

The hotel is very cool / hip in design. The staff is great, and the rooms are very well designed. There are a few minor issues that stopped me making this a 5 star rating - 1. Paper thin walls. You can hear everything. I woke up startled several times thinking someone was opening the door to realize it was... More

This hotel is chic, modern and centrally located (Gold Coast). I stayed here with girlfriends for a bachelorette party and it was amazing. We had a decent sized suite that had a couch, chair and dining table. The bedroom was in a separate room with small bath (overall quite small). It was perfect for our group. The location is great;...

Fabulous! I've already recommended your hotel :) Love the boutique service/Hotel ... very current & zen without being tragically hip. Your staff appeared when needed and then disappeared ... Hotel restaurant reminded me of my fav in NYC (abc kitchen) with a chic twist and the servers were witty, fun and very professional.

Stayed in PUBLIC for first time on business trip. First impressions were excellent in terms of the layout of the lobby and lounges, great for hanging out on own or in groups, plenty of outlets for mobile devices etc. Rooms minimalist but functional, clean and crisp. Ate in the Pumphouse restaurant in the hotel, great menu, excellent food and super... More

My sister and I recently stayed at the Public Hotel when visiting my daughter in Chicago. The bell staff and front desk staff were exceptional when checking in. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. We spent time at the Library Lounge where the food and service was excellent. We had a nice breakfast in the Pump Room and enjoyed the tranquil... More
