I received a complimentary night in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
Even though I live in a suburb of Chicago I don’t make it down to Chicago as much as I’d like. Staying downtown is especially a treat, especially during the winter when everything seems magical. Kinzie Hotel in River North is a boutique hotel that to me is a hidden gem in Chicago. I had never heard of the hotel before hearing about their Holiday Express Package and it is not a big hotel you’d normally think of. I honestly cannot say enough good things about the Kinzie Hotel.
Friendly staff – Everyone I encountered throughout the hotel was so friendly and one even remembered the next day that I mentioned we were going to Toy Fair and he asked how it went! From the guy who checked me in, the doorman, an employee on an elevator, and the bartender, everyone was so pleasant and helpful. The employees made my family feel comfortable and cozy away from our home.
Free continental breakfast – This was set up in the hallway of our floor by the elevators. We didn’t have to take an elevator down to a lobby but rather walk a few feet outside our door.
Free drinks and appetizers – During a few hours each evening, there is a bar you can visit (yes kids can pop in) and get a free drink (you turn in a token you receive at check-in) and free appetizers.
Pet-friendly and family-friendly – While I didn’t have a pet with me, I can definitely vouch that my family felt welcome there. My kids even asked to go back!
Great bath products from H20 Plus spa
Free Wi-Fi connectivity for unlimited devices in rooms
Gym and Business Center
The hotel is located walking distance to so many great destinations including the Magnificient Mile shopping. It is though just far enough that you don’t feel the crazy hustle and bustle of Chicago but close enough that you are not missing the whole Chicago experience. There is even a trolley stop right in front that will take you to Navy Pier!
Cozy and perfect for a family or couple to unwind.
The Holiday Express Package is an add-on that guests can receive a North Pole Sweet Express vintage bar cart delivered to their rooms, passes to ice skating at Millennium Park festive activities and more.
The vintage bar cart was absolutely amazing and such a perfect way to end a cold night in Chicago! My kids thought it was the coolest thing having hot chocolate delivered and my husband loved the spirits he was able to add to his Apple Cider.

Oh my goodness! My daughter would be in heaven if we got dessert and hot cocoa delivered to a hotel room for us! I'm glad that you guys had such a lovely time! Chicago is one of my most favorite cities!
Looks like your family had a fantastic time, I love the North Pole Sweet Express vintage bar cart, it looked sinful.

I love when hotels offer a "manager's reception" where you get free drinks and appetizers!
Looks like such a good place to stay especially when looking for a kid friendly place. The holiday express package looks like it has some wonderful extras that would be very enjoyable especially the ice skating.
