We very much enjoyed this penthouse and the stunning view. We watched the Navy Pier fireworks from the windows. The location is terrific, with much to do/see within easy walking distance, and easy access to the L trains for venturing further away. We didnât do any cooking, but the kitchen was well appointed with dishes and other kitchen essentials (like coffee filters, etc.) for enjoying a continental breakfast and snacks. All we needed to purchase was our groceries.
What a wonderful stay we had at the Grand Plaza penthouse! Jeri & James thought of all the details that make an VRBO feel like a home. Their instructions were very thorough, and when we did reach out, Jeri was very responsive throughout our stay.Calling this condo home during our trip to Chicago made it extra memorable! The views of the city were breathtaking and the location was more than we could have asked for. You will find travel to and from the airport a breeze with the Red Line a few steps away, so many amazing restaurants within a 10 minute walk, and an enjoyable stroll to both the River Walk and Michigan Avenue.Our stay at the Grand Plaza Penthouse coincided with one of Chicagoâs summer heatwaves, however, having this unit to come back to after a day full of adventures and sightseeing refreshed us and made us forget about the temperatures outside. One night, we even chose to enjoy the city views from the balcony and ordered Louâs deep dish pizza to the building. I could go on, but all of this is to say, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Grand Plaza penthouse and would highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the penthouse. The views are incredible and the apartment was well-appointed with everything we needed. We did laundry halfway through our stay and went home with some clean clothes. My husband and I both enjoyed the soaking tub. The only downsides were that the bed and pillows were quite firm for us and the sauna wasnât working properly during our visit. Traveling with a toddler can be a real challenge but the apartment helped greatly.
The apartment was exactly as described. We enjoyed the amenities on the 9th floor, including the free lattes in the morning. View was amazing and the location was perfect. The fireplace was a nice touch for chilly Chicago days. Couldnât have been better. Thank you!
We had an absolutely amazing stay on the 52nd floor of this condo in downtown Chicago! The view of the city and lake was breathtaking, especially during the air and water showâwe had front-row seats to the Blue Angels buzzing the skyline. The unit was exactly as describedâclean, well-stocked, and super comfortable. The building amenities were top-notch; we spent a ton of time relaxing by the pool. Overall, it was a perfect getaway, and we can't wait to come back!
This is our 2nd stay at Grand Plaza. The location is central to many attractions within walking distance. You cant beat the city and lake view from the 52nd floor! The condo itself was well stocked, even with cotton balls and Q-tips!
The Penthouses on Grand are amazing! The property amenities are great! The pool area is awesome! The outdoor areas are great! The workout facility is fantastic! But the views....OMG...the views are simply the best! I can't recommend this property highly enough ! The location is great, as it is a short walk to the river and all the hotspots around downtown. Its right on the Redline, so baseball parks are quick. We just had a such a great time in Chicago b/c we stayed here. TOTAL 5-STAR PLACE!!!
This building has great amenities and great location. And the unit has great views. However there were a couple of things that were substandard for the price and quality of building and location: the unit has carpet throughout and itâs really dirty. Also the towels were cheap Walmart towels. Also note that the bed is a queen (which is how itâs advertised). But plenty of room for a king bed. And would be expected for a âpenthouseâ. Other than that we enjoyed the stay.
Had a great time visiting Chicago and the location is perfect - close to everything. My husband and I walked everywhere. The place is clean and the owners responded quickly to any questions we had. We will definitely stay here again.
The condo was a perfect home base for our family of 4 on Spring Break in Chicago. It was a beautiful view from the floor-to-ceiling windows both during the daytime and at night! The location was awesome - in the heart of downtown, and right above a grocery store. The condo was fully equipped with everything we possibly needed. It was clean and well appointed. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again next time!!
We stayed at this rental 10 years ago and liked it so much that we looked it up and stayed here again recently. Clean and well stocked. Quiet and friendly neighbors. Doorman was friendly and helpful. Great location for walking and ubering to many places. We hope to bring our kids next time and stay in one of the owners larger units.
Amazing property where owner has thought of everything to make you feel at home! Location is awesome - can walk to everything! Amenities are top notch too!
Best Chicago vacation! Great walkable location, red line subway right at the corner connects to all elevated âLâ lines in the downtown Loop tracks, walk to Magnificent Mile and 360 bldg. The subway was safe and fun for me and my teenage girls to experience- a must do. It was important to have a full kitchen to save on eating out 3 times a day, fantastic High Floor views, parking in bldg and knowledgeable tips from the host to plan our stay. We parked and walked or took the subway/âLâ to avoid parking fees at destinations. Bldg parking was easy and convent, safe location, clean, well stocked needed items in bath, laundry and kitchen, grocery store at corner, all a + + +. The condo was open, airy, inviting, and the glow of a fire place was another plus. We did the river boat tour at dark with the city a glow in January! So Beautiful! So Much Fun! A huge THANK YOU to the HOSTS for this wonderful experience and memory for my family.
Everything about our stay was wonderful. The owners explained the process and all went smoothly. The views from the Penthouse were spectacular. We loved the ambiance with the easy to operate fireplace. The location was the best! Very safe and was very convenient having the grocery store right next to bldg. We would love to stay here again if ever visiting Chicago.
This property was as spectacular as the website said! The views were absolutely amazing! The doorman on shift was always helpful and friendly! So convenient to the Jewel next door! We were in walking distance to everything that we wanted to do in the city. Perfect location!! The penthouse was stocked with all the essentials! So impressed! Comfortable, roomy, and absolutely perfect! Did I mention perfect? Simply was. We will be back for sure!
Few cities have buildings as tall as Chicago, fewer still have rent-able Penthouse units. This is you opportunity to experience luxury living at it's finest.
