I was looking for a hotel for my business trip that was walking distance to the work site. I tried to contact the usual big name hotels but they were all booked. I think there were several big events going on that week. After all, it is Chicago! I came across the Burnham during my Google search of hotels. I... more

A good hotel in a great location. Unique property, architecturally - not much of a lobby - the restaurant/bar takes up most of the lobby space. We had dinner at the restaurant one night and the food was very good while the service was so-so. Our standard guestroom was very comfortable and clean. Bathroom was a good size. I rated... more

My wife and I booked the Burnham through Hotwire for $134 and stayed two nights this May. We considered it a great value for such a charming and well located hotel in Chicago. The Burnham is relatively small, but the hotel is very pretty and has a classic look. The lobby is quite small but cozy, and there is a... more

Location, location, location! combined with great staff, excellent restaurant, beautiful decor in restored historic building, that's the Burnham. more

We have a corporate rate with this hotel and I can't be happier. It's an ideal location to our office (3 blocks away) and it's got great decor. Everything feels like its brand new yet looks antique. The huge windows afford a great look of the area outside and checking in and checking out is extremely easy and painless. The... more

The Kimpton Hotel Group runs this place. If you're not familiar with them, get to know them. All their properties are very nice and Hotel Burnham is no exception. It's a great renovation of a classic downtown Chicago office building. It's incredibly charming and doesn't fit your normal Marriott/Hilton/Hyatt property mold. Staff is great, rooms and nicely decorated and very... more

My significant other and I stayed here this past weekend and had a wonderful visit. The rooms have tasteful decorations and adequate room to move about and stow luggage. The service / concierge offered appropriate helpful dining suggestions and walking directions. The rooms were immaculate and the turndown service is a nice touch. Hotel Burnham, in some ways is a... more

I have just come back from a 5 night stay at the Burnham and can only say positive things. I booked a double double deluxe room for myself and friend and altho' the room was compact (a bit short on space for all our clothes!), the room was very clean and comfortable with excellent bedding. The 'turn over' service and... more

The hotel is clean/nice, I found the staff courteous, location is good. But, construction has resumed in-full directly across the street!! I stayed two nights in early April. The first night was fairly quiet but the heavy machinery started up at 6:45AM. The second night they ran a crane lifting up and moving big metal pipes almost all night directly... more
