I stayed at this hotel on business for a few days in May 2008 and I really enjoyed my stay. Upon arriving, my room was not ready yet since I got there rather early, and the front desk person was super helpful and arranged for my bags to be stored and took my cell phone number to alert me when... more

For the most part this was a very good hotel. Some of the minuses are common to all hotels. For instance the make-up mirror would have been perfect for most males or a tall female but not for a short or average height female like myself and my roommate. Although there were two of us staying in the room, there... more

I am thrilled that the Renaissance is now completely NO SMOKING! I don't see the need to stay anywhere else when I'm in Chicago. I'm so sick and tired of still being able to smell cigarette smoke drifting into the vents of rooms that are supposedly no smoking (Omni Suites Chicago). Renaissance is in a great location, great views, friendly... more

My husband and I just spent three nights at this hotel in celebration of my birthday. We chose it because of the good reviews and the location. It did not disappoint. Check in was smooth and friendly. Our room, located on the 23rd floor, was clean and comfortable. We had a nice view of the river to the left and... more

We were given a room on the 22nd floor with a spectacular view of Marina City and the new Trump Tower. The hotel... more

Stayed there for a conference and got a good rate with the conference discount. The staff was really nice and the location was great. Spectacular views and amazing beds. I left my phone charger in the room and they found it and sent it to me overnight! Highly recommended. more

Always dependable...always a great experience. I was in town for a conference and while everyone else stayed just blocks away at the conference hotel, I decided to avoid the crowds and the noise and stay at the Renaissance. The experience starts at the entrance where the valet quickly took my luggage from the trunk and opened the door to the... more

I stayed here for two nights on business. I was booked on a club level floor, but unfortunately faced the back of the hotel where the "El" is located. If you book a room here, be sure to request a room that faces Wacker Dr. so you can avoid the sound of the trains. The best part of my stay... more

I stayed here with my family for an extended weekend while visiting family. The hotel is located right on the Chicago River, convenient to the Loop and Magnificent Mile. Our welcome was warm and there was no wait to check in. Our request for two connecting rooms was cheerfully granted. The lobby is pretty and the rooms (on the 17th... more
