Positief: Netheid, staat van de accommodatie en faciliteiten
Negatief: Voorzieningen
I expected the 5-star luxury Nobu is known for globally, but this felt like a decent 4-star hotel missing the mark on execution. If you adjust your expectations, you may be happy, but it falls short of true luxury.
The Room & Facilities
The rooms are large and aesthetically nice, but the functionality slips. The bathroom was dark and the shower felt low-quality. Most glaring was the 1-ply toilet paper—a detail no true 5-star hotel disregards. The gym equipment also left a lot to be desired.
The Pool & Amenities
The pool is a main draw, but it was closed both times I tried to visit during the hours listed in the room (5:30 AM – 10:30 PM). I later saw the website lists different times, but conflicting info and lack of access is a major service failure. The lobby is small and lacks charm; there is no morning coffee provided unless you walk through a back door into the restaurant, which isn't a great breakfast spot.
Dining & Location
While I didn't eat at the restaurant, the room service sushi was extremely poor. I hope the restaurant quality is better. The West Loop location is trendy with great dining, but far from Chicago’s main attractions.
Verdict
Nobu Chicago is a 4-star hotel wanting to be 5. If you find a rate comparable to a good 4-star, go for it. Just don't expect the 5-star luxury found at other Nobus worldwide.
