My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Buckingham Athletic Club 6/23-6/27/08. The El is directly outside (LaSalle Station on blue line or Van Buren Station on the orange/purple line), the beds comfortable, the rooms spacious and nice, the athletic club was fabulous (great hot tub, lap pool, and service), and the view is spectacular. We could see... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Buckingham. Room was very spacious and clean, we loved the use of the Athletic Club and did not find the transfer of elevators to be a problem. Everyone at the Athletic Club was very friendly and willing to make us feel comfortable. The free continental breakfast at the hotel was just enough for... more

This really was a cracking find. I travelled to Chicago on business from London and for a single girl in her twenties this place couldn't have been better. It's bang in the middle of Chicago's financial district. Don't expect the area to be rocking at the weekend ('though it will be during the week) - it's akin to The City... more

We stayed at the Buckingham Athletic Club Hotel the weekend of June 8-11, 2007. It was a great experience. Located on the 40th floor of One Financial Place, an office building at LaSalle and Van Buren, the hotel was clean, quiet, and a perfect backdrop to a 30th anniversary trip. Although located in the financial district, the Buckingham is serviced... more

We live in the Chicago suburbs, about 40 miles away, and occasionally spend a weekend in the city. This hotel was horrible from start to finish. We arrived at their address on LaSalle on a Sunday late afternoon, and found that there is nothing to indicate that there is a hotel anywhere. It's called "One Financial Center." So it's a... more

Oct 4 2006 What a magnificant veiw of the lake. Security a added plus. Athletic Club was top of the line. Will definately stay again in the future. Already telling friends about you. Thanks alot! more

After asking for detailed directions from the CTA stop, the trip to the 40th floor went flawless. Using two elevators located 10 feet from each other is certainly not a hardship. The room was huge and clean, the bed was comfortable, the view towards the lake was magnificent. Very convenient to carry only the swipe card to get to the... more

Took the CTA from O'hare to Buckingham Athletic Club. Went across the street directly into the secure building, we took 2 elevators to reach the Hotel. Traveling with family we booked a suite. We contacted the Buckingham Athletic Club to alert them of our late arrival and request 2 twin rollaways placed in advance. Our suite was perfect with the... more

I found my stay at the Buckingham Athletic Club to be very comfortable. The room was a very good size with a massive bed and a nice bathroom. Wireless internet was free of charge and a basic buffet-type breakfast was served in the lounge every morning. Of course the best bit was the view from the enormous picture windows. I... more
