The Talbott, Autograph Collection, is an upscale boutique hotel at 20 E Delaware Place in Chicago’s Gold Coast. Guests choose it for its quiet, residential feel and its location a short walk from Michigan Avenue shopping and the Lake Michigan shoreline.
The Talbott belongs to Marriott’s Autograph Collection and has 178 guestrooms and 40 suites (source: Marriott). The rooms were recently renovated and feature plush linens and marble bathrooms (source: The Talbott). Other amenities include Wi-Fi, in-room Tayst coffee and a 24/7 fitness center. The hotel is small enough that staff can offer personal service, which appeals to couples on a weekend away and to business travelers who want something calmer than the large towers on Michigan Avenue. The on-site restaurant and lounge bar suit a pre-dinner cocktail or a relaxed meal without leaving the building.
