The Talbott, Autograph Collection

I just wanted to say what an unbelievable time and great experience Michelle Escobar made my stay at the Talbot. She went above and beyond to help me while staying at the hotel. The hotel overall was fantastic and I will definitely be back. What a great staff!!

This hotel is an absolute gem. So much detail and so much attention to detail. You feel like you've walked back in time and you're wrapped in absolute Chicago glamour. I loved every second of staying here and cannot wait to go back. In fact I cancelled another reservation for this fall and booked this hotel because this is truly the best hotel in Chicago and let me tell you why.... The staff. Taylor J and Cynthia are hands down the best customer service you will find in the city. So friendly, so welcoming and so hospitable. Thank you for helping create such a lovely stay for us. The ambiance. There is amazing attention to detail in this hotel. Take the time to slow down, look around and enjoy it. It's truly remarkable all the little details this hotel took the time to care for; you don't want to miss them. The Laurel. Excellent value for money and I see why there are reviews from locals who frequent this restaurant/bar. The staff is incredible and the food and drinks are excellent. (They are also quite generous with their food and beverage credit if you're a Platinum Marriott Bonvoy member.) The rooms. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous and exceptionally clean. The linens on the bed are Matouk which I now absolutely have to have because they are wonderfully comfortable and an absolute dream to sleep on/in. There is a Nespresso machine in the room with the vertuo pods which is great because it's a bigger cup of coffee. (thank you!) There is an extra floor heater in the bathroom - I've never seen that before in a hotel and it will be so nice when we stay here this winter! The location. Cannot beat the location. The Talbott is in the most residential area we have stayed in Chicago. Lots of people out and about walking their dogs and it's just a block away from Washington Square Park. Loved the vibe of the area - it's a little slower and a little more authentic local Chicago. It also felt markedly safer which a truly appreciated. I have stayed at many hotels in Chicago and The Talbott is hands down my favorite. They get all the things right and pay attention to all the small details. It's like the Ritz Carlton has a fancy little sister and her name is Talbott. You get all the benefits you want from a 5 star hotel without all the fussiness of a 5 star hotel. Thank you all for such a wonderful trip; I truly cannot wait until this fall when we come back!

We loved our stay at The Talbott! The hotel exudes old-world charm, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. After a full day of sightseeing around Chicago, it was such a treat to return to complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the cozy study near the lobby. We would definitely stay here again!

My partner and I were celebrating our birthdays together. Wanda & Gerardo were such a big help In helping to navigate our stay. They gave us a beautiful room & champagne. Thank you so much for making our birthday so fun at your hotel!!!!!!!!!!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, and a big part of that was thanks to Ben at the front desk. From the moment I arrived, Ben went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcomed and comfortable. He was incredibly attentive and took the time to answer all of my questions with genuine care and professionalism. What really stood out was Ben’s deep knowledge of the local area—he gave fantastic recommendations for restaurants, attractions, and even helped map out the best walking routes. It’s clear he truly enjoys helping guests make the most of their visit. His warm hospitality and attention to detail made a lasting impression. Ben is a true asset to the hotel and played a key role in making my stay so enjoyable. I’ll definitely be returning, and I hope to see Ben again on my next visit!

We were warmly welcomed by Michelle Escobar at the reception desk, and her gracious demeanor immediately set the tone for our stay. She was exceptionally courteous and professional, and thanks to her, we knew right away that we were in for a wonderful experience. Michelle truly made us feel valued from the moment we arrived!
