We have just returned from visiting Chicago and Milwaukee and spent a fantastic three nights at this hotel. This is a typical high-end Marriott brand Hotel. The service at reception both on arrival and departure was fantastic, with friendly and efficient staff. WE had a river view room on the 17th Floor, which gave terrific views across the river and... more

Booked this hotel in lieu of the Marriott Mag Mile (I'm a Marriott Rewards member) based on TripAdvisor reviews and I'm so glad I did! For starters this is a beautiful property and every staff person we encountered (especially Kelli and Bill at the front desk) was helpful and accomodating. The best part in terms of being a tourist however... more

Large chain hotel but very comfortable, pleasant surroundings and staff. Very well located for business and good for tourists too. Great selection of restaurants nearby. more

This hotel was everything it aspired to be, a clean, business friendly, classy hotel in an excellent location. The rooms are comfortable, staff friendly, and lobby swanky. The hotel has a nice pool and the fitness center is decent. more

Rooms: The rooms are beautifully laid out with very comfortable beds and roomy bathrooms. Our room overlooked the river with no obstructions on the 25th floor. If you can request a river front room I would strongly recommend that option. Food:... more

I gave it an average because the services I used were just OK. The front desk was always busy and understaffed, the... more

Lovely hotel, great amenities - would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to my friends and family. more

This great hotel is directly across from the Chicago River so definitely spend a bit more for a river room...it will be worth it and you will have a full on view of Marina City (the famous corn cob buildings) and of course the river itself, including the Mies Van Der Rowe IBM building and the side and backside of... more
