Amazing views/location
My sister and I are from the country, and decided to take a sisters trip to Chicago. Getting this penthouse was the best decision we made! The hosts were amazing and quickly got back to us when we had questions. Everyone in the building was so friendly and kind. The penthouse was clean and had all the space we needed. The views of the city were even better than I could imagine. The sirens could be loud at times, but that’s inevitable in the city. We walked almost everywhere we wanted to go. I would stay here again 1000%

Excellent view and location to enjoy the city!
The penthouse was clean with exceptional views of the green river in the midst of the Chicago skyline! My partner and I came to Chicago for a concert and to visit her son. The place was clean and comfortable. The location was awesome - we were able to walk to the river event and the St Patrick's Day parade and we could uber everywhere else we wanted to go. Check-in was easy and coming and going from the building was clear and simple. (Starbucks was a short walk next door every morning!) We loved the experience overall! The only minor issue was the pillows in the bedroom were really dense and uncomfortable, but we we did fine. Again, great experience - the owners were clear about expectations and really easy to work with! We will definitely stay here again!

Loved it Here!!
Absolutely loved our stay here at The Grand Plaza!!! Perfect location, literally the redline subway entrance was right outside the main plaza door, doesn’t get any better than that. Priceless views of the city, like someone said prior to us staying here, “it's like something out of a movie.” It felt very cozy, this place has everything you need for a VERY comfortable stay with the fully stocked kitchen utensils you’d need, washer & dryer and even a grocery store on the 1st floor right outside the main entrance. Everyone we encountered during our stay at the Grand Plaza was super nice, checking in and out was easy with no issues. I think it’s safe to say that we’ll be staying here again next year!!! Thank you, Jim & Jeri-Lou for everything, we had a memorable stay. 😊

Grand Plaza is in an Excellent Location
We came to Chicago for a family wedding and made a vacation for our family of two teens. The location of this incredibly clean, neat, organized and well equipped kitchen is prime. We were walking distance of many venues and activities we had planned. We used the parking garage and that was efficient because of the in/out privileges. The hosts, James and Jeri Lou, are excellent communicators with their aim to ensure we had all the information we needed to make our trip a memorable vacation, which it was. If we were to visit Chicago again, I would stay at the Grand Plaza and I would recommend this place to anyone!

Great place in a perfect location
Our family of four spent a week here exploring Chicago. First off, the communication from the host was outstanding, including very specific directions for parking and check in that made it very easy. The apartment was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. The view was amazing, looking out at Marina City. The location proved perfect, as Grand Station and the red line are literally steps from the front door. This made it an easy train ride to the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and the Art Institute. Willis tower was an easy 25 minute walk along The River Walk. And the Grocery store in the same building was very convenient.

Wow! Amazing oasis in the sky in the heart of Chicago!
Wow! Definitely the place to stay if you want great views, great location, and a spacious, elegant apartment. We were in town for a conference and you can’t beat the location right near Michigan Ave and the river. Views are amazing, and the apartment had everything we needed. The grocery store at the base of the building was a huge plus too.

Absolutely Perfect!!!!
I can't say enough nice things about our stay at the penthouse at Grand Plaza. The location is perfect, right in the middle of Chicago. We were walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shops. We took short Uber rides everywhere we didn't want to walk to. We did take the train once and the station is right at the building. The supermarket downstairs was super convenient and had everything you could need. The penthouse itself was phenomenal. Check in was super easy. The floor to ceiling windows provide a breathtaking view of the city. The fold out sofa bed was great for my two young daughters to share. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could ask for to make you feel right at home. The amenities in the building were top notch as well. I used the gym on the 9th floor and was able to get a great workout in. This was our first trip to Chicago and we loved everything about the city. We did a bike ride on the Lake Shore Trail, a sunset boat cruise on Lake Michigan, fireworks at Navy Pier, great dinners every night, and of course a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. Every night I looked forward to going back to the penthouse to relax and end the day. I highly recommend staying at the penthouse and I can't wait for my next trip to Chicago. Hopefully I will be able to stay here again or at one of the other penthouses in the building.

What a wonderful time we had. The views from anywhere in the penthouse were breathtaking. They had everything you would need. Super clean and very roomy. The location is almost perfect. Great resturaunts and clubs within walking distance or a short cab/uber/lift ride away. Can't wait to stay here again the next time we are in town!

Place was amazing! Very clean and the best view of the city. We took our son to go watch our dodgers get clobbered by the cubs and decided to stay downtown instead of wrigleyville and we are glad we did. Location is central to restaurants, markets, the bean, shopping…everything within walking distance! We will check this listing first when we go back to Chicago. Thank you for an amazing stay!

We are regular travelers to Chicago and this is our new first choice. The view is stunning. The wall to ceiling windows allow you to look out over the beautiful city and you can even see Lake Michigan. The communication with the host and check-in/check-out process is superb. The location is top notch and just around the corner from some top-notch dining options. The fact that the ground floor building is a full-serve grocery store just adds to the experience and concenience.

Perfect Property Perfect View!
This was our 2nd stay in a property owned by this Host. Precious stay was in the larger penthouse. This 1BR unit was very clean, looks just like the photos, and is fully stocked with all the comforts of home. The building has a nice fitness center and several areas on the 9tj floor where you can go relax if you want to get out of the unit but stay in the building. The location is great for mass transit and activities & restaurants. 5 min walk to Joe’s and Steak 48, as well as AMC theatre. The communication with and from the host is as highly professional as much as it is personal. They have it down to an easy to understand exact science. Check in and out was seamless. The views from the unit are amazing. You can see a beautiful sunrise and get to enjoy a nighttime cityscape ad tree r the sun goes down. If you have never stayed in a property or hotel at or above the 50th floor range, you owe it to yourself to stay here. It is a totally different experience being above most of the city with a view! Overall we love staying at this property and have only great things to say about each time we’ve stayed here. (Last time was 2016, and it was just as nice and as easy this time as it was then) looking forward to staying here again.
