Newly opened in 2024, the Riu Plaza Chicago is in the perfect location to explore the Windy City. Start your day with an American buffet breakfast in the hotel - it's included in your stay afterall! Then stroll to the corner of the street and you're already on Magnificent Mile so you can shop to your hearts content, and just a little further on is 360 Chicago for some unreal views of the city and Lake Michigan. Speaking of good views, the hotel has a rooftop bar on the 26th floor, so you can enjoy a cocktail with a glorious backdrop in the summer. And if it's a little chilly, you can cosy up in the lobby bar instead - so you're sorted all year round.
