Royal Sonesta Chicago River North | Chicago, USA | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Chicago, USA

4 stars

Anyone wishing for a sophisticated and calming approach to accommodation in Chicago should look no further than the Royal Sonesta which rates guests' well-being and comfort levels just as seriously as the stylish interior décor. The hotel offers just that little bit extra with personalised in-room Yoga sessions on the TV or perhaps you would prefer an early morning jog? Of course, you don't have to jog to be able to enjoy the sights and guests staying at the Palomar will be pleased to learn that River North, Navy Pier and the Magnificent Mile are all within walking distance. Further fabulous fitness facilities come in the form of the hotel's indoor heated swimming pool and 24-hour gym which are both guaranteed to help you work up an appetite just in time to check out the gastro-lounge dishes at the Sable Kitchen & Bar. What with in-room dining options and complimentary wine tasting sessions every day at 5.00pm, it's a wonder that you'll find the time to set foot outside however, it would be rude not to so this is your chance to give the Windy City a whirl.

“Great Experience at Royal Sonesta River North”

Nov 11, 2025Fernando V

Everything was perfect, the hotel is extra clean, very well located, near a cta red line Station. The hotel’s front desk is amazing, especially Spirol, who always have the best info of the city, from events to how to get around the town.

“Amazing Anniversary Stay!”

Nov 08, 2025Joseph K

Amazing Anniversary Stay! We stayed for 2 days to celebrate our 12-year wedding anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect. The pool had an incredible view, and the junior spa room was amazing — especially the jet tub, which made the stay feel extra special. The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming. Shaunda was super accommodating and friendly, and she really made our stay feel special. They even surprised us with a bottle of wine when we arrived, which was such a thoughtful touch. The location is excellent, close to everything, and the bar had an amazing selection of mixed drinks. We had an absolute blast and would definitely come back again! Highly recommend for couples or anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Jozef+Taylor
