As a Marriott Rewards Gold Member, I choose Marriott brands when traveling, so I did do a lot of comparison shopping or looking for deals. The hotel is situated in the heart of Chicago on the river. We were given a room on the 22nd floor with a spectacular view of Marina City and the new Trump Tower. The hotel... more

Stayed there for a conference and got a good rate with the conference discount. The staff was really nice and the location was great. Spectacular views and amazing beds. I left my phone charger in the room and they found it and sent it to me overnight! Highly recommended. more

Always dependable...always a great experience. I was in town for a conference and while everyone else stayed just blocks away at the conference hotel, I decided to avoid the crowds and the noise and stay at the Renaissance. The experience starts at the entrance where the valet quickly took my luggage from the trunk and opened the door to the... more

I stayed here for two nights on business. I was booked on a club level floor, but unfortunately faced the back of the hotel where the "El" is located. If you book a room here, be sure to request a room that faces Wacker Dr. so you can avoid the sound of the trains. The best part of my stay... more

Michigan Ave is a few blocks up but the subway can get you there a little quicker on a cold day. Dinning... more

It was spacious, well appointed, and very clean. We... more

The room included two very nice chairs, three small tables, nice artwork, a large desk with two chairs, and great lighting from several lamps. The room had a large closet with an automatic closet light... more
