My stay at the Buckingham Hotel was truly lovely. While locating the hotel can be a bit tricky (it’s tucked inside a business building and requires taking two elevators to reach the entrance) - it’s worth the effort. The entrance resembles a medical office more than a traditional hotel, but they’ve made an effort to add warmth with seasonal decorations.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and even upgraded my room to a lake view, which was a wonderful surprise. The room itself was impressively spacious, spotless, and quiet, with stunning views. I especially appreciated the sense of privacy it offered right in the heart of the city.
The location is fantastic- just a pleasant 20-minute walk to Millennium Park and the lakefront. There are plenty of nearby options for a quick bite or morning coffee, and the hotel also provides a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
I did not have a use for parking facilities during my stay, so I am unable to speak to parking.
