The Godfrey Hotel Chicago

I recently hosted a three-day work event at the Godfrey Hotel for a group of about 80 people, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, everything was seamless and truly exceptional. The event spaces were bright, modern, and incredibly versatile — perfect for everything from presentations to group sessions to casual networking. The staff was professional, attentive, and thoughtful, making sure every detail was taken care of without us ever needing to ask twice. Our guest rooms were equally impressive: clean, spacious, and stylish with comfortable beds and thoughtful amenities. Everyone on our team raved about their stay. And let’s talk about the food — absolutely delicious! Every meal served throughout the event was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The Godfrey exceeded all our expectations especially with the Gluten Free options. If you’re looking for a chic, well-run venue in Chicago to host a corporate event, I can’t recommend the Godfrey Hotel enough. We’ll definitely be back!

We love this place. It's well located fun to be at and has a wonderful rooftop bar with good food and drinks. It's a bit pricey but happy hour is a wonderful deal. My only issue is the lobby. Just smells awful like men's cologne-I think this is supposed to be a signature sent but it's not working well because It smells like a overcompensating locker room!

We stayed for two days, and unfortunately, both days our room was not cleaned — no fresh towels, no bed made, nothing. We had to specifically request housekeeping on the last day just to get basic service. While the location is undeniably convenient and the rooftop view is stunning, the service experience completely ruined our stay. The staff? Honestly unsettling. Upon check-in, we asked about an “urban fee” on our bill, and the front desk agent responded with, “You asking me like I’m supposed to know,” as if it wasn’t literally his job. Fast forward to check-out, I simply asked if my food could be reheated (since the rooms don’t have microwaves), something that had been done for us previously without issue. The woman at the front desk(black lady with Fulani braids) — robotic, expressionless, and borderline confrontational — told us it would take an hour because the housekeepers were “busy.” When I mentioned that someone had done it the night before, she started interrogating us like she was trying to get someone fired — asking who, when, what time. It was uncomfortable and honestly creepy. She finally reheated the food, only to return and say, “Just so you know, I told my manager that someone warmed up your food.” It was like something out of a horror movie — she genuinely reminded me of the maid from Get Out. The vibe was cold, unwelcoming, and unnecessarily hostile. We loved the view, and the location was perfect — but the staff interactions were so bizarre and uncomfortable that I wouldn’t return, even if it were free. A truly weird and disappointing experience.
