The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

71 E Wacker Dr. , Chicago, USA
381 Rooms
Modern Design & Lively
Chicago is home to a good number of landmark hotels, but not many of them are located on the Riverwalk, a scenic pedestrian promenade that runs along the Chicago River. That’s a distinction only held by a lucky few, including the Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown. Perched high over the riverbanks, right at the spot where the waterway bends around the Magnificent Mile, the luxury hotel is notable for its views — from many rooms and suites, you can look down on the lively bustle of the waterfront, or straight out at the Art Deco–style Tribune Tower.

With prime urban real estate like this, you might expect space to be at a premium. But the Royal Sonesta’s rooms are surprisingly spacious, even in the standard category. The look is modern and pared-down, with ample natural light, earth tones, framed black and white photography, and colorful accents like tufted emerald-green headboards and abstract artwork. Cozy seating areas and coffee stations are welcome amenities, especially in rooms with river views, and bathrooms feature white subway tile and flattering in-mirror lighting. There’s no pool or spa, though you might not even notice at a location like this, within walking distance of everything in downtown Chicago.
