The Perfect Chicago Hotel by the River
The River Hotel is well located right across from the river. We had a large, very comfortable room with a view of the river. The staff was friendly & very helpful. Although the hotel is in an older, historic landmark building, it is well maintained & updated. The Riverwalk is just steps away. I highly recommend the River Hotel. PS. Next door, at the London House, there is a restaurant, a bar & a Rooftop bar with awesome views! The food at both places was outstanding.

Great hotel, better employees
What a wonderful hotel to stay at!! On arrival, Ronnie, who was working the front desk, treated us like we were a King and Queen. He bent over backwards to make our stay memorable. We got an upgrade, and the view from the room was spectacular. Will not hesitate to stay at the River Hotel again. Highly recommend!!!

This was my 3rd stay here. I love the location. If you stay make sure you get breakfast included. The restaurant is right next door and has great food. Valet is reasonably priced also. This is my place to stay while in Chicago. See ya'll in the spring!
