Delightful hotel, and although it's not cheap, it's a much fairer price than other hotels in the vicinity. This hotel offers a terrific location near Michigan Avenue, State Stree and Navy Pier and within walking distance of Hancock Tower and the Sears Tower not to mention the many restaurants close by. Rooms are extremely spacious, with a modern decor. Rooms are very comfortable and well equipped with essential amenities for each person's stay. The fluffy down duvets are particularly nice, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms too. The menu at this hotel was varied in terms of dishes' cuisine-type but it was also quite limited. Extra features of the room were things you would only normally see from a luxury hotel such as the electrical equipment; flat-screen satellite TV's, ihome alarm clocks etc.
My husband and i have been staying at The Talbott for nearly 20 years and we love it! The location can't be beat, of course, and the rooms are beautiful, especially the spacious marble baths. The fluffy down duvets are delightful too. The ever gracious staff is what sets The Talbott apart from the rest. You will be warmly greeted at the door by the bellmen, then experience the same personal touch at the front desk and the concierge desk. People who are happy doing their job and personally connected to your excellent experience, that's the big deal. I am attaching a photo of Gene at the concierge desk, just one of the good friends you will also make at The Talbott hotel!

The Talbott is a great place to stay. It is a luxury boutique in the heart of the Gold Coast, easily within walking distance of Michigan Avenue, State Street, and Navy Pier. The staff is exceptionally friendly. They provide twenty-four-hour room service, concierge service, and the front desk staff and waitstaff are even cheerful late at night. The rooms are modern, well decorated, and comfortable. They feature flat-screen sattelite televisions, ihome alarm clocks, and many other conveniences one would expect from a luxury hotel, without the sameness of the chains.

In a word - NOISY. A new hotel is being constructed out back. They start at 8 a.m. sharp and don't end until late at night. Every Day. I'd wait until it's done before staying there. If you only need one bed, they can move your room to the front of the hotel where it's not as bad. If you need more than one bed, though, you're out of luck. The hotel is nice, restaurant has very good food and otherwise the stay was fine.

We stayed 5 nights at the Talbott which was in easy walking distance of the Hancock Tower, Millenium park, Sears Tower etc. Staff were friendly, and helpful. Menu was varied but limited. Numerous Restaurants nearby, avoid Gibsons as very expensive. We had large comfortable Room with walk in wardrobe, well equipped bathroom with his and hers toilet rolls and basins. Not cheap, but central and not as expensive as the Water Tower next door.

My wife and I just spent 3 nights at The Talbott. The room was spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. The hotel is quiet although there is some construction nearby. Linens and towels first-class. Free Wi-Fi in the room. The location is terrific, just one block to Michigan Avenue. We will stay here on future visits.

Much more than we expected, this hotel is gracious in every way. Suites are large, well appointed, with fabulous bathrooms. The staff, including the front desk, and the concierge were so helpful. A lovely, quiet and accomodating hotel, one of the very best! The Parkers
