The Drake Hotel - A Historic 1920s Landmark on Magnificent Mile with Lake Views and Classic Dining
Standing at the northern edge of Magnificent Mile since 1920, this landmark 4-star Chicago hotel features 535 rooms adorned with premium bedding, marble bathrooms, and modern amenities including HD TVs and laptop-compatible safes. The Drake showcases an impressive lobby with chandeliers and classic decor, complemented by multiple dining venues including the 1930s Coq d'Or lounge with red leather booths and live jazz, Palm Court for afternoon tea, and Café on Oak for daily breakfast. A 24-hour fitness facility offers cardio equipment, weights, and yoga mats, while business amenities include meeting rooms and a business center. Located at the intersection of the Gold Coast and Michigan Avenue, the property stands 3 minutes from Oak Street Beach and within a 5-minute walk of the John Hancock Tower, Museum of Contemporary Art, and Lakefront Trail. The Art Institute and Millennium Park are a 20-minute stroll away, while Lincoln Park Zoo is situated 2.5 miles from the property.
Pros
Historic landmark status since 1920 with documented visits from celebrities and heads of state
Children's high tea service and partnerships with local toy shops
Concierge access to sold-out event tickets and exclusive restaurant reservations
New England-style nautical themed restaurant with authentic decor
Cons
Busy nightlife scene in surrounding area with crowded clubs and bars
Limited on-site parking availability
“This landmark on the Gold Coast evokes a bygone era, with event spaces that likely outshine its accommodations. I found the location ideal, just steps from Oak Street Beach and the Magnificent Mile. Yet, while tradition oozes from the walls, some areas need a refresh to recapture their original glory.”
