Very nice high rise apartment with an excellent location. The subway stop was steps away and the full grocery store in the building had everything imaginable. Perfect place to stay in downtown Chicago. We loved it!
Great safe area, AMAZING view. Everything you could ever need in the room, towels, kitchen supplies, even seasonings. And right on top of a store, you can’t get better for this price

Thank you for the wonderful review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the safe, convenient location and those amazing views.
We also appreciate you noticing the little details inside the penthouse — towels, kitchen supplies, seasonings, and everything needed to make the stay comfortable. We try hard to keep the unit well-stocked so guests can settle in easily and enjoy their time in Chicago.
Having Jewel-Osco right in the building is definitely a huge convenience, and we’re glad the overall value stood out. We work hard to provide a true Penthouse experience and would be very happy to host you again anytime.
Great location to explore the Windy City from. You don't need a car. Right on the "L" Red Line. Exceptionally clean, lovely western view. Perfect for the two of us.
Thank you for the great review. We’re glad the location stood out — it really is one of the best parts of staying here.
Being in the heart of downtown Chicago, with so much within walking distance and the Red Line right on the corner, makes it easy to enjoy the city. We’d be very happy to host you again anytime.
Very attentive and helpful hosts, wonderful place with a great location and friendly building staff.

Thank you for the kind review! We’re glad you found the stay comfortable and appreciated the communication — we always try to be attentive and helpful from booking through checkout.
The location certainly makes things easy as well, with a Walk Score of 100, the Red Line right on the corner, great restaurants nearby, and the Jewel/Osco grocery store right in the building for added convenience.
And thank you for mentioning the building staff — we’re glad you had a friendly experience when arriving.
We appreciate you staying with us at The Penthouses at Grand Plaza, a collection of 11 penthouse residences in the building, and we hope to welcome you back for another true Penthouse experience the next time you’re in Chicago. 🏙️
This apartment was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. Having the Jewel food store AND the Red Line station right literally next to the Grand Plaza was so handy! We were in touch with the owners and they were very responsive and helpful during our visit. We have never stayed in a high-rise (much less a 50th floor apartment) and it gave us a feeling of what city life would be like. We had a great time, saw a Cubs game, went to Museum of Science and Industry, took the Architectural Boat Cruise on the Chicago River…this trip was phenomenal! If you’re planning a trip to Chicago, this Penthouse is very conveniently located and everything you’d need is within steps or a short walk. Thank you again, James and Jeri-Lou!

Thank you for such a wonderful and detailed review. We’re so glad the penthouse was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything you needed for your stay.
The convenience of the location really is hard to beat, with Jewel-Osco right in the building, the Red Line on the corner, and so many restaurants, attractions, and Chicago experiences just steps or a short walk away. It sounds like you made the most of the city — a Cubs game, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Architectural Boat Cruise is a fantastic Chicago trip.
We also love hearing that staying on the 50th floor gave you a real feel for high-rise city living. That perspective of Chicago is a big part of what makes the penthouse experience so special.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your kind words about the communication. Jeri-Lou and I truly appreciate it, and we’d be very happy to host you again anytime.
The penthouse has everything thing you need and the view is the cherry on top. You have to get the parking garage pass it's a little expensive but it's a great luxury to have. Parking in Chicago is hard to find. The penthouse is walking distance from everything. The 9th floor gym is very nice and it was fun to be able to shoot the basketball around. Would stay again for sure.

Thank you for the great review! We’re glad you enjoyed the penthouse and that the views were the cherry on top — they really are one of the highlights of staying this high above the city.
You’re absolutely right about parking in Chicago. While the garage pass can feel like a bit of a luxury, many guests find it’s the easiest option when bringing a car downtown.
The location also makes it easy to explore on foot — with a Walk Score of 100, the Red Line right on the corner, plenty of restaurants nearby, and the Jewel/Osco grocery store right in the building. And the 9th-floor amenities are a nice bonus as well — the gym, pool area, and basketball court give guests a great way to unwind without leaving the building.
Thanks again for staying with us at The Penthouses at Grand Plaza, a collection of 11 penthouse residences in the building. We’d love to welcome you back for another true Penthouse experience and another chance to enjoy those skyline views from the balcony. 🏙️
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the stay and the location. Big shout-out to our cleaning crew of over 20 years for keeping everything spotless! Would love to host you again anytime you're back in Chicago! 🌆🙌
We enjoyed everything about our stay. The amenities, cleanliness, comfort, and location were hard to beat.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad you had a terrific stay and enjoyed the convenient location—having the grocery store next door is definitely a plus.
My 11 year old grandson and I loved the unit and the location. We arrived on train from Philadelphia. We could tour the entire city by walking or short Uber/Lyft ride. We shopped at Jewel Oscoda just below, had a great selection of fresh foods. Had a great time, Views are fantastic!

Thank you for the 10/10! We’re so glad you and your grandson loved the unit and the location. Arriving by train and being able to explore by foot or a quick rideshare is exactly why River North works so well—Walk Score 100 with the Red Line (Grand) on the corner. And yes, Jewel-Osco right downstairs makes stocking up easy. Delighted the views helped make the trip memorable. We strive to deliver a true Penthouse experience and would love to welcome you both back next time!
This unit is as described. The building amenities are nice extras. State Street is always busy and the CTA line could not be more convenient, .Nearby are grocers, restaurants and prime shopping.

Thank you for the 10/10 and the thoughtful notes! We’re glad the unit matched the description and that the building amenities added to your stay. The River North location is tough to beat—Walk Score 100, Red Line (Grand) on the corner, and Jewel-Osco right downstairs, with restaurants and shopping all around. State Street’s lively energy is part of downtown living, and we’re happy it made getting around easy. We work hard to deliver a true Penthouse experience and would love to host you again.
Beautiful apartment, amazing view, but not stocked or furnished well. Bed is not very comfortable and couch isn't either. For a high end penthouse, we expected higher end furnishings but it was truly incredible views and the host wss great

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for the kind words about the views and your experience as a guest — I’m glad those parts really stood out for you.
I also appreciate the honest feedback about the furnishings. Everyone has different comfort preferences, but I understand how important it is for the bed and seating to feel just right, especially in a high-end space. I’m currently reviewing several updates and will keep your comments in mind as we continue improving the experience.
Thank you again for staying and for highlighting both what you enjoyed and what could be better. I’d be happy to welcome you back in the future for an even more comfortable true Penthouse experience.
I would go back for the towels alone!!! Yes, the space was great - well laid out, plenty for 2 adults, THAT VIEW is even better than the photos show, ease of local transit, so many good food & drink options literally within a 10 minute walk - but those towels!!!!!!! I dream about them……. ;)

Love this—thank you for the 10/10!
We’re thrilled the space, the THAT VIEW, and the easy River North location hit the mark—Walk Score 100 with the Red Line (Grand) on the corner. And those towels… we may or may not be towel snobs—glad they made an impression!
Your photo was fantastic—the skyline really pops—and that sunset is exactly why guests gravitate to the balcony to soak it in. We work hard to deliver a true Penthouse experience and would love to welcome you back the next time you’re in Chicago.
fantastic location and view very responsive with the property manager

Close to grocery stores, Michigan avenue and restaurants. Place was very well equipped - we have stayed at many rented apartments and this was the best equipped. Will definitely rent again if we are in town.

You pay for what you get- the view was spectacular ✨️. Grocery store downstairs next door to the property. The penthouse had everything I needed, well stocked up, From paper towels, detergent,dishes to food plastics storage bags. You name it, pretty sure it had, if not the owner was just a call away.
We came for the Taylor Swift concert and this place was perfect. Very clean, great communication with the owners and great location. We were able to enjoy a few hours at the pool that was also very nice. We will definitely come back to this location next time we visit Chicago.

Thank you for your review and for choosing our place for your Taylor Swift concert adventure! We're thrilled to know that our location was the perfect stage for your visit.
We're glad you found the place very clean because, just like Taylor's lyrics, we strive for spotless perfection. Our communication skills may not be as catchy as Taylor's melodies, but we're delighted that they were on point and kept you in tune with us.
And of course, what's a concert trip without some poolside fun? We're glad you were able to take a few hours to dive into relaxation and enjoy the nice pool. It's the perfect way to cool down after dancing like nobody's watching at the concert.
We can't wait for the next tour stop in Chicago to welcome you back. We'll make sure the stage is set, the lights are shining, and the hospitality is in full swing. Until then, keep singing along to your favorite Taylor Swift tunes and we'll be here, ready to make your next visit even more memorable.
Not sure I would call this room a penthouse. Loved the views and cleanliness. The size of the room was nice and it was everything as advertised. It was quiet and the bed was comfortable. Loved being able to walk to so many places.

This place was great! We enjoyed our stay here which is located in a central location for all attractions. The unit was clean and well stocked. The amenities were excellent. So many restaurants to choose from and there is an excellent grocery store in the building.
But the best thing was the view from the balcony!

This place was comfortable and centrally located for our visits to both Chicago ball parks. The view was amazing! We felt safe here being diwntown. The amenities having ziplock bags and a fan were a nice touch.
