“An iconic and elegant building in the Loop's financial corridor. Named for its grey marble exterior, the rooms mirror this toned down grandeur, with the odd splash of colour and quirky design. With a range of bars and restaurants, and excellent 24 hour gym they have all the bases covered. ”

Hotel review

Set in the heart of Chicago’s Loop in the financial district but a short walk from many attractions such as The Bean (Cloud Gate) and Millennium Park, The Kimpton Gray offers a sophisticated, stylish and affordable base for business travellers, couples and friends. Guest rooms are minimalist, modern and spotlessly clean; with pops of blue livening up the shades of grey. Highlights include the spacious bathrooms that have beautiful Moroccan-style tiling, roll top baths and gorgeous essential-oil infused toiletries, as well as incredibly comfortable beds with crisp white sheets. There’s an appreciated attention to detail to ensure a comfortable stay; with black-out blinds, phone charging outlets right by the beds and a yoga mat in each room. Chill out in the chic lobby with a complimentary coffee or tea, work-up a sweat in the gym, relax with a customised massage in the wellness spa or borrow one of the free bikes for a ride by Lake Michigan. Later you can enjoy free wine served every day in the lobby from 5pm-6pm or sip on a cocktail at the romantic library bar: Vol. 39. Then head to the rooftop to soak up live music and delicious Latin cuisine at Boleo. Service is warm and efficient throughout the hotel, too.

Kimpton Gray Hotel

"Sleek platform beds and pendant lamps suggest mid-century modern, but the dark wooden armoire with the floral interior speak to a wilder streak."

Originally published by Conde Nast Traveler

The Kimpton Gray Hotel

"Guests can appreciate breathtaking views of the city from the hotel’s rooftop lounge, Lola Braza, which features Latin-inspired cocktails and cuisine."

Originally published by Time Out

The Kimpton Gray Hotel

"William Le Baron Jenney — the 'father of the skyscraper' — designed the original, and architecture buffs delight in the elegant marble digs. So do hipsters, drawn by free bikes and a sexy rooftop bar in downtown's core."
