Top Water Tower Place Hotel Reviews

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night, but the room was clean. Staff was very helpful."

Hyatt Regency Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect—right along the river and within walking distance of many of Chicago’s top attractions, restaurants, and shopping. The hotel was clean, modern, and well-maintained. My room was spacious, comfortable, and offered beautiful views of the city. The staff was friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The standard check-in is at 3 pm but when I arrived at 11 am the staff was able to give me a room upon my arrival. My entire stay smooth and enjoyable."

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Our room on the 26th floor was outstanding!!! We went to breakfast early because the first morning was a zoo with children running around and absent parents. Scrambled eggs are always tricky when made for 100 people but the hot sauce made them edible. Traffic pattern at breakfast was a bit congested with people going in all directions at once."
