Room with a view. Amazing!!
We checked in. The staff was very friendly. He said your room is ready. When we got our key it was for the top floor. Didn’t know how to feel until we got to our room. It did not disappoint. We had the most amazing view. Can’t imagine coming to Chicago and not having this room. Definitely will be back.

Top stay in Chicago!
I love staying here whenever we visit chicago. The location is perfect. Service is top-notch. I love that the staff is the same. I recognize the same bellmen/concierge and the same wait staff in Hoyt’s which tells me the hotel treats their people well. The Rooms are so comfortable. The beds and pillows make a comfortable sleep and the bathroom amenities are lovely. Thanks again Royal Sonesta! We will be back

December stay downtown Chicago.
Great location to head to theaters or shopping. We enjoyed the more modern decore. Easy to adjust the temp in the room. Check in was fast and all the staff was friendly & helpful. Concierge parking from in front of the hotel or there was at least one self park garage within a block.

Good enough to come back
The room exceeded our expectations. It was impeccable ant it includes all the amenities you might need, the linen was clean; everything is in mint condition. We would totally come back but the threshold in the bathroom needs to be little higher, the water comes out of the shower making it dangerous for customers.

Recommended
We have stayed in this neighborhood several times but this was first time with Royal Sonesta. Overall it was a really good experience. Super clean, awesome art. Friendly staff and excellent housekeeping. We didn't use the restaruant so cannot speak to that. Easy walking to theatre district and Michigan ave. Would be an amazing location during warmer weather to use river walk. The bathroom was large and clean, although the shower only had one of those overhead/rain showerheads- no additional wall showerhead and no way to increase pressure- so plan on extra time to rinse if you have longer/thicker hair:)
