I loved this place, so convenient to everything (shops, restaurants/attractions/subway). Comfortable rooms, big bathrooms, loved the granite countertops, the light in the closet and the nightlight in the bathroom. The computer in the lobby where I checked in for my flight and printed my boarding pass was so convenient. I would absolutely stay here again. more

My husband and I enjoyed this hotel. The location on the river was perfect. It was centrally located between theater, shopping, and touring. It was in a bustling area but the room was very quiet. We were able to take public transportation from the airport and never needed a car. I walked everywhere . . . waterfront, Millennium Park, shopping,... more

The first time I went to Chi-town I stayed at a nice but far-flung hotel in one of the suburbs. This time (June 09) I stayed right in the Loop at the Chicago Renaissance and man what a difference that makes! This hotel is adjacent to the State/Lake CTA Station (the "el") and the Blue Line to O'Hare is only... more

Read the reviews on TripAdvisor before booking. I stay at Marriott a lot on business so used points to book 2 nights when my son and I went to Chicago to catch a Cubs game. The hotel is in a great location in the heart of downtown on the Chicago River. We walked to Navy Pier on Lake Michigan, about... more

We flew in to Chicago Midway airport and took the CTA Orange Line train right to the hotel! There is a CTA stop (State/Lake) literally at the back door of the hotel and the train ride is a snap at only $2.25 per rider (don't take a cab). Very nice. Check in was easy and quick. We booked the hotel... more

The Renaissance seems like any other big business hotel, but its location sets it apart -- the north edge of the Chicago Loop, right across from the river and a short walk to Michigan Avenue. It has great restaurant choices right nearby, a Starbucks in the lobby, and you are steps from shopping and corporate offices like United Airlines and... more

I spent 1 night at the Renaissance while on business. Room: The hotel is obviously a little older, however the rooms are large and the decor was clearly modernized very recently. I booked a corporate rate of $179/night, before tax, which seemed very reasonable to me for a downtown loop hotel in Chicago. Bed was comfortable and included enough pillows... more

Well, we decided to go to Chicago on New Year holidays, and this was my first visit to the Windy City. I enjoyed it very much – and to a great extent due to my stay at the Renaissance Chicago Hotel. As known, the first impression is the most important – so, when I entered my one bedroom suite on... more

We stayed at the Renaissance Chicago Hotel on March 28, 2009 for a one night stay. Upon arrival at 4:00pm the valet was overwhelmed (I guess too few employees working for the volume of guests arriving). After a wait our car was taken and we entered the hotel. The hotel has a beautiful clean, spacious lobby with a waterfall and... more
