Fantastic
I had a very good experience here. The hotel was modern, super clean, and the staff is friendly. We also had breakfast the next morning and it was outstanding. Everything taste fresh. We also really appreciated the rooftop bar area. It was really nice. We didn’t get a chance to use the bar inside the lobby, but we’ll probably make another reservation this summer because we enjoyed this hotel that much.

Awesome Hotel in the Middle of Everything!
Very nice and clean hotel with a nice bar. Everyone was very polite and eager to provide great service. Internet wasn't the best, but that's more of a Chicago problem than a hotel problem.

The Perfect Location!
Stayed for an overnight “city” Spring break trip. My Highschool aged girls loved the Michigan Avenue shopping, Millenium Park, Navy Pier. Can’t believe how perfectly located this property is for walking to all the sites. Inside it was exceptionally clean, secure, quiet, and every staff member treated you with the highest regard. Excellent!

Our stay at Hotel Riu was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and valued. They were not only friendly and professional but also genuinely accommodating, ensuring every need was met with a smile. As an out-of-state traveler, we truly felt at home during our time here. The experience exceeded our expectations, and we will undoubtedly be returning whenever we’re in Chicago.
