Top Chicago Riverwalk Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"My stay was very nice here at this hotel. The staff were very helpful and polite. My room was okay with a nice view of the city but it had an unpleasant smell in the room and some of the wall paper was peeling. I still would say I’d stay here again. It was not horrible at all. 4 stars from me."

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, clean rooms, great staff… and it smelled so good every time we walked into the hotel."

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, huge rooms and an amazing location, will stay here again!"

citizenM Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"La habitación un poco pequeña pero está buena limpia"

Arlo Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Would recommend. Central location and safe."

Swissotel - Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"I traveled from Cincinnati Ohio and the room on the 36th floor had a great view of Lake Michigan. Valet staff for parking was excellent as well. Highly recommended if you’re planning to visit Chicago."

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"To quality service from every staff member. Great views. Upgrade to the gold rooms for a wonderful view and access to the lounge. Lounge breakfast and dinner and dessert is WORTH THE $."

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great night in a great room!"

theWit Chicago, a Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Staff was excellent everywhere we interacted. Water pressure and temperature control was top notch. Left extra towels on the second day which speaks to me in a good way. Took some of our party time to adjust to the L train sound but that is to be expected. A little sound is an easy price to pay for being so close to the river and broadway. Road construction in front of the hotel threw multiple ubers for a loop, suggest walking a block and ordering one from there unless the construction is gone when you get there."
