Recent Reviews
Positives:
We book-ended our trip, returning again to the Drake for the final night of our holiday. The Christmas tree and decor were still as impressive as when we first arrived on day one. We also enjoyed dining in the bar Coq d'Or again, it has the perfect classic decor and lighting (1920s/30s) of which I'm very fond of! Tasty food, attentive service and a good buzzy atmosphere, people dropping in for Christmas drinks etc.
Negatives:
Overall our return stay was still lovely but in a different room/floor than first night and wasn't as nice. It was a little drab, smaller and faded, but same price as first night's stay so that was a little dissappointing. Also, the lady in the souvenir shop on right hand side on ground floor was quite hostile and unfriendly, she glared at us and barely spoke, I found her manner quite baffling considering we were buying a gift there! Just to clarify we also popped into another shop which had flowers, and that was lovely.

Overall, a gorgeous historic hotel
Positives:
Beautiful Christmas Tree and decor in Lobby, friendly check-in, amazing afternoon tea in the Palm Court. Personally I love the old world charm and character of this hotel.
Negatives:
For this stay there wasn't really anything I didn't like.

Fabulous hotel full of character
Positives:
Location was great , nice place
Negatives:
The rooms were a little too warm for me no fan and no way to cool it down. I tried turning the temperature down since I arrive. It never got any cooler. I was pretty sweaty all night.

Positives:
It’s vintage and in a good location.
Negatives:
It needs a lot of updating. Wallpaper peeling, stains in the bathroom, fixtures missing from furniture etc.
I have always wanted to stay at the famous Drake Hotel since I was young. We decided to celebrate my wife’s birthday and take the kids downtown to see the lights.
Also, when I booked I messaged the hotel and made mention that we were celebrating my wife’s 45th birthday and it was our kids first time in the city. I had expected something in our hotel room especially after we paid extra to upgrade. Nothing. We have stayed at some of the best hotels and some middle of the road hotels and I can tell you I was quite disappointed in the lack of service. We plan on staying downtown next holiday season and we will stay at The Four Seasons instead.

It’s an older building so rooms are a little compact. Closet space small

Positives:
The historic building and the history of the hotel itself is why we wanted to stay. The location in the city was another deciding factor with it being close to shopping and restaurants.
Negatives:
We were disappointed in the lack of higher end toiletries, bath robes or plush towels. Our room was a junior suite which was incredibly large, however had an absurdly small bathroom. We did request a refrigerator which was brought to our room which was good. Better quality coffee and maker is something we expected.
Review
Older hotel with nice lakeview
Positives:
Beautiful hotel in the heart of the magnificent mile!
Negatives:
Only thing I did not like was the air conditioner did not cool down the room because of the older radiant heat that they had otherwise everything was perfect!
Review
Beautiful Christmas family staycation!
Positives:
Room 1016 was great. Loved the high floor. Room service was prompt. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful./
Negatives:
Everything was good. I would recommend turning the deserted executive lounge and board room into a selfie room. The windows and views are great and with a little redecorating, could be an added amenity, especially with younger crowd.
Review
Overall would stay here again....
Positives:
The service received the entire time we were there was exceptional. The food in the hotel as well as room service was amazing! My only regret is that I wasn’t aware of the High Tea and they were completely booked so I didn’t get to experience that but everything else great!! The Bell man, Floyd, went above and beyond, especially running to get my bags in the Lyft before they left. The view was amazing, bed was comfy, hotel was clean!! We will be back!
Negatives:
The last day we had no hot water as the boiler was down so we couldn’t shower before we left. Not a huge deal but a slight inconvenience.
