Recent Raffaello Hotel Review: "My wife and I used the hotel for a weekend getaway. We wanted to be close to the Magnificent Mile, shopping, the Navy Pier, restaurants, lounges, etc. The hotel was newly renovated and very clean. We stayed in a deluxe suite. The room was incredible. We chose the hotel based on some online recommendations from hotel sites, the photos, and the 4-star rating. The room was definitely well-represented in the photos. Bright, airy, modern, brand new flat screen TV's. The hotel is right in the heart of everything, across the street from the Hancock Building and 1 block from the Mangificent Mile. Took us 10 mins to walk to the Navy Pier for boat tours, 5 min taxi to Rush St and bars/restaurants, etc. Bascially, almost perfect location (the Ritz-Carlton and Westin thought so too, as they are very close to this hotel). The lobby was small, and the gym was barely passable, a few treadmills and some standard hotel machine contraptions. If you actually workout and are into fitness, it's not great, but for a few nights, it can work. Or, depending on the time of year, just jog Lake Shore Drive, which is a few blocks away. The only other issue was breakfast. It was very expensive ($15 pp) and not worth the money, and the breakfast room was basically a cold, conference room with some table and chairs thrown in. Looked like a break room for some insurance company. Room service, ordered the night before and hung on the door, actually proved a better value for breakfast, and much better food. Oh, the concierge was also great in making recommendations and getting us dinner reservations. She didnt seem to have much pull with the hot spots (Tavern on the Rush, etc) but she was very nice and very willing to help. All in all, a bit expensive, but youre paying for location and a clean, modern room. I would definitely stay there again. And any nice hotel in a bog city like Chicago, NYC, Boston, is going to be expensive."
