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

My husband frequently stays in this hotel and on this trip I tagged along. He had meetings during the day and I spent the days roaming the city. This area was one of my favorities. . . I've been to Chicago about 5 or 6 times. We were within a couple blocks of great theater, a five minute walk to... 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

We stayed at this hotel for the second half of our trip to Chicago. The first half we stayed at the Marriott Mag Mile. The rooms at the Renaissance are nice and spacious in comparison...not a typical city hotel room size. Room had seating area and sep bedroom both with large bay style window facing river...great view! Also one half... more
