On-site restaurants

Bernard’s

A "hidden gem" speakeasy tucked away on the second floor, Bernard’s offers an intimate, moody atmosphere inspired by equestrian design and Scottish Highland tweeds. This luxury lounge focuses on time-honored mixology, serving precise classic cocktails alongside a curated selection of fine spirits and decadent snacks, such as caviar service and duck confit croquettes.

Brass Tack

Located on the third floor, this inviting American brasserie celebrates the spirit of the Midwest with a sophisticated Chicago twist. The menu features impeccably crafted dishes using ingredients from regional farmers, ranging from wood-oven porterhouse steaks to hearty brasserie classics. It is a premier destination for sunlit breakfasts, refined lunches, and an "Everlasting Brunch" on weekends featuring limitless libations.

In-Room Dining

Available 24/7, the in-room dining program delivers the hotel's culinary excellence directly to your guestroom or suite. The menu features elevated signatures from the property's restaurants, including the popular Brass Tack Burger and the classic Waldorf Astoria Breakfast, ensuring a seamless private dining experience at any hour.

Honest review

What could be better

  • The hotel should eliminate erroneous minibar charges and ensure management provides professional, attentive support when guests encounter billing discrepancies or service failures.
  • Management needs to prioritize deep-cleaning stained carpets and linens while ensuring that essential in-room features, such as fireplaces, televisions, and thermostats, are fully functional.
  • Front desk teams should be trained to be more welcoming and transparent regarding paid upgrades and amenity closures, ensuring that the high-touch service expected of a five-star property is consistent across all departments.

How we choose

Every hotel on this list is cross-checked across Google, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Agoda and Hotels.com — plus first-hand traveler accounts on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. We screen aggressively for fake or incentivised reviews and weight only verified, recent, substantive guest feedback. We accept no paid placements and no sponsored reviews. When affiliate links earn a small commission, we disclose it; it never influences which hotels appear here.
