Love the Emily! Only small complaint was the couch was not really that comfy for a third person to sleep on. Upgraded to a bigger room since we had three and it wasn’t that great. Plus no door to the shower area.

Beautiful hotel in great walkable area. There were major renovations going on while we were there so our actual floor was a bit messy/busy, although the common areas remained lovely. Would stay again for the good location. All staff very nice.

The Emily Hotel was in a convenient area of Chicago close to the family wedding we were attending in mid-September. Rooms were clean modern and had loads of desk space but no dressers or nightstands. Staff was helpful in telling us about the nearby parking garage beneath the Google building across the street. We parked our car there for $57/ day vs Valet for $85 (with unlimited in and) at The Emily. We would stay there again.
