Ambassador Chicago, Part of JdV by Hyatt, offers valet dry cleaning and laundry services. A business center with iMacs is on the second floor, and a communal table with Apple computers and outlets is available. Conference rooms can host up to 160 people, and the hotel can arrange wedding venues. Safety features include carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, a fire extinguisher, a security system, a first aid kit, and window guards. There are also retro brass mail slots in the hotel hallways and a photo grid with black-and-white pictures of famous guests who stayed here. The property has a 24-hour front desk and a multilingual staff.

“The Ambassador Chicago presents an interesting contrast, blending historical significance with elements that feel somewhat dated. While its location near the Magnificent Mile and nods to old Hollywood glamour are appealing, some aspects of the hotel may not fully meet expectations for a luxury experience. The presence of unique features, like the cinema-style screening room and rooftop terrace, does suggest potential for memorable stays, particularly for special events.”
