The apartment was everything we had hoped for. Fabulous views and comfortable furniture. The building provided excellent additional facilities, like a gym, library, and BBQ areas. They also provided free coffee on the 9th floor from 6:00am to 10am. The location was perfect for multiple restaurants and cafes and the river was just .25 of a mile away. All in all a great experience.

Family trip, long weekend, in July. Loved using the pool on the 9th floor, but take note it closes around 7p or 8p depending on the day of the week. Washer and dryer in unit was great for swim days as well as just in general.Doordash brings food right to the door, making for an easy night after a long go,go, go day.The grocery store on the 1st floor has everything you could need, including alcohol... I even got my son a Birthday cake there!Oh and the view... is amazing!!!! Enjoy your stay.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy your family had a great long weekend with us. It sounds like you made the most of your stay—from relaxing at the pool to enjoying the convenience of having an in-unit washer and dryer after swim days. We're also glad you took advantage of the many conveniences the building offers. Having Jewel-Osco right in our building makes it easy to pick up groceries, birthday cakes, and other essentials, and it's great to hear DoorDash made for some relaxing evenings after busy days exploring the city. And of course, we're thrilled you loved the view! It's one of the things that makes The Penthouses at Grand Plaza so special. With a Walk Score of 100, you're just steps from Chicago's best restaurants, shopping, and attractions. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We hope to welcome you and your family back soon, and with 11 unique penthouse residences in the building, we'd love to host your next Chicago getaway!

Our family of 5 want to spend 4 days exploring Chicago and the Penthouses at the Grand Plaza was an amazing home base for us to explore the city. The host provided clear instructions early and often to make sure we were prepared for seamless check in and check out experience. The views from the apartment were second to none. We would definitely stay again next time we come back to Chicago.
