I highly recommend the Renaissance to anyone looking for a great stay in the Chicago area. It is perfectly positioned in Chicago's South Loop, Theater District. Everything is just a short walk away. I recommend requesting a River View room, as the view from most downtown Chicago hotels can be a bit bland (e.g. skyscrapers, construction, etc.) The staff at... 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

To begin, I travel quite extensively for business and pleasure. This hotel is perfect for both types of travel. 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

This hotel is in a great location on the Chicago river, walking distance to shopping, parks, sightseeing and great restaurants. i would not discourage anyone from staying here- the rooms were large and comfortable, with great marble bathrooms. 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

If given the option, we stay at Renaissance hotels. This hotel wasn't as nice as other Renaissance hotels. No complaints because the price was terrific, but I would look at other hotels before booking this one, because there are cheaper w/ = quality. The rooms are small (bathrooms are nice size). The lobby was nice, the front desk was friendly.... more

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
