The hotel

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.

My husband and I went on a long weekend trip and stayed here. Zero complaints and it exceeded our expectations. Super nice, very clean, rooms were quiet- never heard any neighbors. Overall perfect choice!
