This review is long overdue, but I just booked my second stay for the Silversmith and I felt as though it was warranted of feedback. First off, the Silversmith is situated on the Mag Mile -- a short walk from the Buckingham Fountain, Cloudgate, and Michigan Lake. We were last here in September, over Labor Day Weekend, and I could not have been more impressed. It was quiet at all hours, from the lobby to the top floor. Not from lack of patrons, but a communal respect of each guest's needs and appreciation for civil respect. The front desk agents were accommodating and friendly, and I wish I could write more about them. However, we were well cared for from check in to check out, so our communication was limited. The room was clean and spacious, opting for a 'Deluxe' floorplan that came a suite-like setup but without a standard room price tag. We had a sitting area opening up to the "bedroom" area that faced the other buildings. Not a huge deal for a cityscape, since we were going to be out in the city anyway. There were so many different cultures represented in such a tiny walk, finding a new cuisine wasn't difficult. We even walked about 1.5 miles for bottomless mimosas at brunch. Valet parking was affordable, considering parking for the same class of hotel and area in Manhattan or Los Angeles would easily double the Silversmith's ~$50 daily rate. The cocktail lounge was posh and offered a wide selection of bourbons and vodkas, making this ol' Kansas girl an aficionado for imbibing. Cocktails were relatively priced, depending on your selection, without much akin to location rather than quality. The Silversmith allowed me to feel "at home" without a typical tourist interaction but still respected and obliged my needs as a guest. I couldn't name a place that is more focused on valuing their patrons from start to finish than the Silversmith. Being said, I rarely write reviews; and as statistics show, those who do are either highly dissatisfied or highly satisfied. I pronounce the latter!
