A very spacious room with beautiful view of the Chicago skyline. Entrance can be tricky to find first time, inside 425 financial building and an elevator to the 39th floor then different elevator up to 40. Lovely little help yourself continental breakfast and easy location to get public transport or just walk around the downtown area.

Nice hotel. Just didn't like that the pool was closed on the weekends and it closed early during the week. Should have had it opened the entire weekend for Chicago marathon. Would have helped with my recovery after the marathon. Other than that, the hotel was really nice.

My stay at the Buckingham Hotel was truly lovely. While locating the hotel can be a bit tricky (it’s tucked inside a business building and requires taking two elevators to reach the entrance) - it’s worth the effort. The entrance resembles a medical office more than a traditional hotel, but they’ve made an effort to add warmth with seasonal decorations. The staff were exceptionally friendly and even upgraded my room to a lake view, which was a wonderful surprise. The room itself was impressively spacious, spotless, and quiet, with stunning views. I especially appreciated the sense of privacy it offered right in the heart of the city. The location is fantastic- just a pleasant 20-minute walk to Millennium Park and the lakefront. There are plenty of nearby options for a quick bite or morning coffee, and the hotel also provides a convenient grab-and-go breakfast. I did not have a use for parking facilities during my stay, so I am unable to speak to parking.

Very displeased with perks of VIP. We did not get a room upgrade. We requested a 1pm checkout and it was denied. They presented like we were getting a free breakfast as a perk, but all guests got the free (bad) breakfast so NOT A PERK. The pool was closed on the weekends despite the listing saying in was open everyday except major holidays. It took 3 elevator transfers to get to the lap pool at the fitness club. It is not a pool for relaxing and hanging out as one would expect at a hotel. While it did not impact us, several other guests tried to take their children and were denied as it’s an 18+ pool, but not advertised on listing.
