Our stay at the Waldorf Astoria was nothing short of exceptional. The level of service provided by the staff was impressive, making our special occasion truly memorable. The room upgrade was a delightful surprise, and having a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us added a wonderful touch. The location is perfect, allowing easy access to the best of Chicago, but dining options were outstanding and definitely worth exploring. However, pricing was on the higher side, which is expected for such luxury.
