My wife and I stayed at this hotel during a business trip. It is quite and well situated in the Loop. The conceirge was exceptionally helpful. They acquire excellent Bulls tickets at a great price and had good suggestions for restaurant options in the area. The pool and sauna were a great end to a busy day.

I recently stayed at the Renaissance Chicago Downtown. I have nearly always stayed at another hotel while downtown previously. I'll definitely stay here again. The staff was excellent, very helpful and courteous, and the rooms were very nice. They were somewhat larger than the rooms at the other hotel I have patronized and completely up to date. The bar and... More

Wanting a long weekend in Chicago led us to the Renaissance on W Wacker. Our preferences were for a quiet room with a river view. Our room on the 21st floor fit the bill perfectly. The room was larger than I would have expected, a nice size bathroom and good closet space. The view of the river was fabulous and... More

All was well, from arrival to departure. The concierge lounge is not as roomy or nice as other location, but the attentive staff made it worthwhile. I forgot to pack my laptop charger and got a loaner for my laptop within 10 minutes. This could had been an embarrassing moment if my laptop die during my presentation. Housekeeping always came...

The Renaissance is a great hotel for both business and leisure. I stayed last week for business. Nice large room with a king bed. Plenty of space to spread out. Nice bathroom with Aveda soap, shampoo, etc. room service was very accommodating making me a nice artisan cheese plate for a late night snack.

PROS: - Location conveniently next to the CTA State/Lake train station; but be sure you now which side of the street to board for your particular line. - Restaurant not available while staying here, but the substitute breakfast offering at the Bar Novo was excellent and the ambiance was warm and comforting. - Service was outstanding: restaurant staff very attentive...

Usually when we visit Chicago we stay near the Water Tower for shopping, but this time we were going to the Chicago Theater so looked for a place in the theater district. Can't do better than the Renaissance! The hotel is located on the corner diagonal to the Chicago Theater. The location is decent for shopping at Nordstroms and Macy's... More

The renaissance is most impressive in its location. Overlooking the river and State street. Walking distance to the park, restaurants, Miracle Mile shopping, public transportation, etc. All just steps from the front door. The rooms are nice, not uber-luxurious, but nice. Wonderful bed! Club level lounge was exceptionally staffed, good breakfast, drinks, etc! One note of comment: The dinner tray... More
