  Recently Refreshed

  05 Feb 2026

  The Talbott was recently refreshed and the makeover is chic! I stayed in room 1605, which is a quiet room on the top floor and tucked away from the main hallway. This was a larger room with a king bed, couch, and a chair. One unique touch was the overhead recessed lighting. In the room there are bathrobes, Nespresso machine, Grown Alchemist products and plenty of outlets. I pleased to see the addition of the water stations located near the elevators on each floor. Your amenity fee includes 2 drinks at the bar in the lobby, which includes non-alcoholic options like Evian sparkling water. Come check out the updated Talbott!

  I would not return. Only stayed due to marriott status

  29 Dec 2025

  No bellhop. No one at desk at check in and no way to call. Then someone appeared from the back. Noted my Marriott status and gave me drink coupons. Stated didn't need breakfast coupons "because the restaurant knows." Well they didn't so next morning had to go back to front desk with waiter and get the coupons from a different receptionist. We had breakfasts + one dinner in restaurant "Laurel" that were fine not memorable. Used to be apartments so rooms spacious. Having said that, components already not working with no illumination from light on headboard and rack in shower already loosening from attachment to tile. Purportedly recently renovated so to already have decay is not a good sign. Only 2 elevators but pretty prompt. Housekeeping never restocked washcloths, an odd thing to leave out. Decor a little precious and not too functional. Only a freestanding wardrobe to hang items, with not much space leftover after the provided robes. Price was good. Value = quality over cost only 3 starts as quality 2 stars and price 4 stars. Cynthia Knapp, Owner at The Talbott, Autograph Collection, responded to this review Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the inconsistencies you experienced, particularly at check-in and with the breakfast vouchers; this is certainly not the smooth arrival or follow-through we aim to provide, especially for our Marriott Bonvoy members. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can address the communication gaps with our front desk and restaurant teams. Your feedback on room functionality and upkeep has been shared with our engineering and housekeeping teams as we continue to refine the guest experience following our renovation. We’re glad you found the rooms spacious, the elevators efficient, and the value competitive, and we appreciate your balanced perspective. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us identify where we need to improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more seamless and polished stay in the future.

  Beautifully Renovated. Great Location. Helpful Staff.

  28 Dec 2025

  The Talbott is in a great location downtown Chicago within walking distance to most of the places you'll want to visit while in town. The hotel itself is beautifully renovated. The staff that I encountered were well-informed on the area, helpful and friendly. I stayed on this visit using Marriott Bonvoy points, and received a nice upgrade upon check-in, so that may also influence my opinion a bit. The room was large, bed comfortable, and bathroom upscale. I will certainly stay here again when I return to Chicago next. Cynthia Knapp, Owner at The Talbott, Autograph Collection, responded to this review Thank you for such a lovely review. It reads like a greatest-hits album of everything we hope guests experience at The Talbott. We’re delighted you enjoyed our downtown location, the refreshed look of the hotel, and especially our team’s local know-how and friendly welcome. It’s also wonderful to hear your Bonvoy stay came with a nice upgrade. Points with perks are always a good plot twist. We can’t wait to roll out the welcome mat for you again on your next visit. Until then, the city (and The Talbott) will be ready for your return.

  Lovely hotel, excellent service.

  26 Dec 2025

  We stayed here as a family with our kiddo on a pull out bed. The hotel is unique and lovely. Service was responsive and quick. We loved that the hotel staff allow local folks and dogs to visit in the lobby. The restaurant on site was very nice and while there was no ice in the hotel, the restaurant was happy to provide some. Beds were comfortable. The room was clean and they were generous with towels. We did wish the room had a refrigerator for our use rather than stocked with bar items but that is a personal preference. In room coffee was Nespresso and creamers and sugar were provided. Cynthia Knapp, Owner at The Talbott, Autograph Collection, responded to this review Thanks a "latte" for such a thoughtful review! We’re thrilled you and your crew, including your kiddo felt right at home and enjoyed the comfy beds, cozy vibes, and our generous towel game. We also love that you noticed the lobby scene with locals, pups, and all; it's kind of our favorite hangout too. Huge shoutout to our "cool" team with the ice assist. And while our mini-bars like to stay fully stocked and ready for action, we totally get the fridge preference; your note is appreciated and duly noted! Thanks again for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you back soon for another uniquely lovely stay!
