David Burk's Primehouse is the second offering from B.R. Guest, Stephen Hanson's successful restaurant group, joining Blue Water Grill which is located a short walk from the hotel. Celebrity Chef David Burk continues to redefine Modern American Cuisine. David Burk's Steakhouse will feature a modern steakhouse menu. The building, originally built in 1928 is traditional in style with a brick exterior. Steel awnings and large picture windows have been added in the complete renovations of 2006The James incorporates contemporary design and compelling architecture, in a city famous for such, while remaining thoughtful, approachable and inviting to guests. The sophisticate interior utilizes deconstructed materials for wall and flooring surfaces, particularly in the dramatic steel, wood and glass staircase centerpiece which rises from the lobby to the second floor ballroom. A uniquely sky lit ceiling makes the ballroom beautifully aesthetic.

The hotel met all of our expectations. It was in great location....about block away from Michigan Ave and all the shopping. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were just as depicted in the pictures. Bathroom in our room was a tad bit small but it was still nice. One down side is there was no pool. If you wanted to swim you had to get a guest pass for the hotel across the street and use theirs. A little inconvenient, so we didn't swim. Other than that our stay was wonderful and I would definately recommend this hotel!

The James was nice overall, but definitely over priced. There is only one entrance to the hotel (right on the street) so if you are a smoker, have fun going to the street. Elevators move very slow, so plan for extra time to get where you need to go. No swimming pool or hottub. Staff seemed that great customer service was not important. (Asked for wake up call-never received one, my room was not ready upon arrival and they said they would call me when it was-never received phone call and caused me to be late to a business function that I was in town for- never apologized for the inconvenience) Do not order room service... Slow, expensive and was disgusting!

Stayed at The James for a weekend getaway. Hip Hotel. Great staff! My wife and I travel to Chicago at least once a year, and our stay at The James was the best trip yet. Perfect location in North Bridge area. Close to shops and eateries. Good room, great bed, nice in-house restaurant, gym, and lobby space. Some minor issues with the public space maintenance around the elevators (chipped paint, spots on carpet, etc.) but an easily overlooked flaw on an otherwise great hotel. The staff make this a worthy place to stay and enjoy Chicago. All were helpful and friendly. My hat's off to THE, the lobby coordinator, for his suggestions and tips on places to eat, visit, and view, for a professional attitude, friendly welcome and easy check in.

"It's hard to believe The James was once apparently a horrible Lenox Suites, according to past reviews. This was a dream. Comparable to THEHotel in Las Vegas."
