Staff was extremely helpful and attentive to our needs. Communication was on point with daily messages letting us know water was available and little things and details that made the stay a great one. We want to acknowledge specially Dustin and Justin in the front desk for their great customer service skills and attitude toward us. I go to Chicago often and stay at different Hilton properties depending on my plans. I will know try and make a point to stay at the Drake to see Justin and Dustin

We had an exceptional visit to The Palm Court last month. The tea time menu was delectable and had some of the best desserts we’ve ever had at The Palm Court (and we attend fairly regularly)! Azmir went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was unforgettable. His customer care, utmost attention to detail, and charm enhanced our experience even more! My friends were all toasting with champagne and I was only requesting tea. Azmir was so thoughtful to even bring my a complimentary glass of non-alcoholic champagne so that I wasn’t left out! He made an already memorable reunion of old friends even greater with his care and thoughtfulness. 🥹😍 If you do get a chance to attend The Palm Court, it’s well worth the trip and do ask for Azmir if he is available! It will be an afternoon to remember! …

Extremely old and outdated. There was so much dirt and dust under the bed I don’t think they’ve ever moved it. The chair was so old and dirty I didn’t want to sit in. I need of major renovation. I paid for park n stay but after my visit they said it was for self parking. I parked at valet and was charged extra. No where did it say it was self parking. I also left my glasses in the room and they kept putting me on hold and wouldn’t answer my calls. I had to park and come inside. Terrible service!

High tea at the Drake was beautiful as always and made better by our attentive waiter, Sead! The mix of contemporary and holiday harp music was also a pleasure. We also picked up some unique items in the corridor shops before we were seated. A successful afternoon and a good start to the holiday season !
