Top Chicago Riverwalk Hotel Reviews

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location!"

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place! Perfect location!"

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Location, location, location! The price and accomodations are amazing considering you are only blocks away from the Theater district, River Boat tours, The Millenium Park, Art Institute, Magnificent mile and great shopping and restaurants. Great stay!"

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing location for Chicago and a beautiful hotel"

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very clean, grateful housekeeping came in everyday and provided clean towels. Room view was very nice and as advertised."

Sports Illustrated Resorts Chicago

8/10 Good

"Wonderful staff! Can not say enough good things about the people working. The place is nice for the most part - rooms have great showers and was pretty clean. Our sink did have a leak but it didn’t ruin our experience. The upstairs amenities (bar) definitely need some freshening, but it’s my understanding they are in the process of revamping. One thing that did put a damper on things was the bars closing at 7pm. We wanted to have night caps at the hotel before bed, but we had to go elsewhere because they closed so early. We would stay again!"
