Enjoyed our stay at Le Meridien Essex!
Fabulous well priced hotel centrally located next to Grant Park and the Museum Campus. Iconic building that has been nicely updated without ignoring the history. Staff was friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely keep this property on our list next time we come to Chicago.
