Lovely hotel, great amenities - would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to my friends and family. more

This great hotel is directly across from the Chicago River so definitely spend a bit more for a river room...it will be worth it and you will have a full on view of Marina City (the famous corn cob buildings) and of course the river itself, including the Mies Van Der Rowe IBM building and the side and backside of... more

If given the option, we stay at Renaissance hotels. This hotel wasn't as nice as other Renaissance hotels. No complaints because the price was terrific, but I would look at other hotels before booking this one, because there are cheaper w/ = quality. The rooms are small (bathrooms are nice size). The lobby was nice, the front desk was friendly.... more

I loved this place, so convenient to everything (shops, restaurants/attractions/subway). Comfortable rooms, big bathrooms, loved the granite countertops, the light in the closet and the nightlight in the bathroom. The computer in the lobby where I checked in for my flight and printed my boarding pass was so convenient. I would absolutely stay here again. more

My husband and I enjoyed this hotel. The location on the river was perfect. It was centrally located between theater, shopping, and touring. It was in a bustling area but the room was very quiet. We were able to take public transportation from the airport and never needed a car. I walked everywhere . . . waterfront, Millennium Park, shopping,... more

The first time I went to Chi-town I stayed at a nice but far-flung hotel in one of the suburbs. This time (June 09) I stayed right in the Loop at the Chicago Renaissance and man what a difference that makes! This hotel is adjacent to the State/Lake CTA Station (the "el") and the Blue Line to O'Hare is only... more

Read the reviews on TripAdvisor before booking. I stay at Marriott a lot on business so used points to book 2 nights when my son and I went to Chicago to catch a Cubs game. The hotel is in a great location in the heart of downtown on the Chicago River. We walked to Navy Pier on Lake Michigan, about... more

We flew in to Chicago Midway airport and took the CTA Orange Line train right to the hotel! There is a CTA stop (State/Lake) literally at the back door of the hotel and the train ride is a snap at only $2.25 per rider (don't take a cab). Very nice. Check in was easy and quick. We booked the hotel... more

The Renaissance seems like any other big business hotel, but its location sets it apart -- the north edge of the Chicago Loop, right across from the river and a short walk to Michigan Avenue. It has great restaurant choices right nearby, a Starbucks in the lobby, and you are steps from shopping and corporate offices like United Airlines and... more
