We’re glad you enjoyed being right in the heart of downtown with everything at your doorstep (a Walk Score of 100 makes it easy to explore without a car).

The hosts did a great job explaining the amenities in their condo, in the building, and in the surrounding neighborhood (along with important detailed access instructions). The condo had everything you need for pleasure and business travelers along with great views of the Hancock Tower, Near North, and Lake Michigan. The area is best explored on foot so leave your car parked and get some steps in.

Thank you for the thoughtful review—we truly appreciate it. We’re glad the detailed instructions and neighborhood information were helpful, and that the condo worked well for both business and leisure. The views of the Hancock, Near North, and Lake Michigan are definitely a highlight. You’re absolutely right—the area is best explored on foot, with a Walk Score of 100 and so much right outside the door. Thank you again for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back to The Penthouses at Grand Plaza in the future.

Thank you for the 10/10 and the “go-to” vote—means a lot! We’re thrilled the penthouse felt very clean, safe, and well-equipped, and that the full-size gym impressed. Having Jewel-Osco right in the building makes stocking up easy, and our River North location (Walk Score 100, Red Line—Grand—on the corner) puts great restaurants within minutes. We aim to deliver a true Penthouse experience every stay—can’t wait to welcome you back on your next Chicago trip.
