Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

One of Chicago’s newest and most exciting premium hotels


Joining Chicago’s selection of elite hotels in July 2024, Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago brings a fresh, modern take that makes for an outstanding hotel barely half a block from the Magnificent Mile.

The Chicago-School façade, lovingly cleaned and restored, hides 390 well-appointed rooms and a glass-floored rooftop bar which is reason enough to book a stay.

The Rooms

Standard King and Double rooms start as a generous 28m² and feature light woods, marble accents and floor to ceiling windows you’ll fall in love with. Upgrade to a corner Premier Room for even better Tribune Tower sunset views.

Expect soundproofing, premium bedding and fully stocked mini-fridges in all rooms.

The Facilities

The round-the-clock gym and co-working zone are handy if you need to keep in touch with reality, but the rooftop bar is likely where you’ll want to dedicate most of your time. The balcony sits 88m above Ontario Street and is absolutely sublime when the sun is shining. Order cocktails or tuck into lunch with some seriously exclusive Chicago views.

Food and Drinks

The breakfast buffet sets the tone, with a huge choice and Metropolis-roasted coffee to kick off the day. The main event is of course the aforementioned rooftop bar, where bourbons are paired with Lake Michigan fresh fish tacos to enjoy with your view.

Don’t miss the street level cafe with pastries and paninis to go if you have big exploration plans ahead of you.

What’s Nearby

A major reason to book a room here is your proximity to Chicago’s must-do activities and attractions. Millennium Park and the Bean are a 15 minutes stroll South, Navy Pier is barely a mile east and of course the Magnificent Mile is two turns out of the front door.

If you tire of the SkyBar, then Portillo’s serves iconic Chicago hot dogs and Eataly at 43 E Ohio has fresh pasta on the menu daily.

Why Book Riu Plaza Chicago?

If you need somewhere that combines resort-esque all-in-one perks like hearty dining, rooftop bar and reliable facilities with a prime Streeterville address, then you’re onto something with a stay at Riu Plaza Chicago.
