Hyatt Regency Chicago

We LOVED having our wedding reception at the Hyatt. We worked with Rebecca Stern and thought she was phenomenal. Completely organized, had great ideas and knowledge of the room we were using (the Crystal Ballroom is AMAZING), and worked with us on all of the small details to make it a perfect day. She also was excellent at managing all the different types of people (from the wedding party to the various vendors) and everything went SO SMOOTHLY. Her staff was phenomenal as well, and really took care to make our event special. There are obviously things that are sort of set in stone (being a hotel with union rules), like you have to use their cake, for example. So that's why I gave them only 4.5 for flexibility. But at no time did I feel like we couldn't do anything we really wanted to do. And the cake, by the way, was super tasty, as was all the food. Our guests loved it, and thought it was really an elegant event with excellent food and a beautiful space. The room rate for the block was also very good for downtown Chicago at high season, and since we had a lot of out-of-town guests, its location was ideal. And the suite they comp'ed me for the weekend was unbelievable -- top floor presidential suite! The prices were really reasonable, and we were able to hold a big brunch the next morning as well, which I loved. I certainly don't plan to ever get married again, but if I had to, I would choose the Hyatt all over again!

We used the Hyatt Regency for our room block. They worked with us to come up with a good rate for our guests, and then for six months worked with any and all of our guests who wanted to stay longer than the blocked dates and with any other accommodation requests. Barring a few bumps in the road (to be expected for the most part) they were very helpful, and our contacts went out of their way to answer questions, provide timely responses, and be truly helpful. We also got upgraded on our wedding night to a great suite with a beautiful view, which was a great bonus to a great night! The only frustrations were that our contact changed 3 separate times, which was a little difficult, and that we had to pay for room drops for guest gift bags (a union rule, which we understand, but still would have loved to avoid). Overall, we were really happy there, and would definitely recommend the Hyatt.

For my bachelorette party we stayed at this hotel. It was a great place for a number of my girlfriends to stay at. We spent the entire weekend in Chicago, so the location was perfect. It’s right on Wacker and Michigan Ave.
