The Chicago Theatre was built in 1921 and was originally named the Balaban and Katz Chicago Theatre. This building has become the unofficial landmark for Chicago representing the rich arts and music culture Chicago is known for. In 1979 the building was added to the list of historic buildings, and later in 1983 was added as an official landmark for the City of Chicago.

The staff are Nice specially Maya. I had a smooth checked in with her. I giver her 5 ⭐️, but the room that we stayed in was kinda dirty, you can see the dried splashed of juice or coffee on the wall bathroom, the keycard holder inserted at the TV corner from the previous people who stayed in that room as well as the floor that there’s confettis everywhere, but overall we had a good stay and I’m happy that for the fourth time I stayed in this hotel our room has carpet. We can walk barefoot.
