Always dependable...always a great experience. I was in town for a conference and while everyone else stayed just blocks away at the conference hotel, I decided to avoid the crowds and the noise and stay at the Renaissance. The experience starts at the entrance where the valet quickly took my luggage from the trunk and opened the door to the... more

I stayed here for two nights on business. I was booked on a club level floor, but unfortunately faced the back of the hotel where the "El" is located. If you book a room here, be sure to request a room that faces Wacker Dr. so you can avoid the sound of the trains. The best part of my stay... more

I stayed here with my family for an extended weekend while visiting family. The hotel is located right on the Chicago River, convenient to the Loop and Magnificent Mile. Our welcome was warm and there was no wait to check in. Our request for two connecting rooms was cheerfully granted. The lobby is pretty and the rooms (on the 17th... more

Stayed at the Renaissance for a conference in early March 08. Hotel is located very close to El Train and Subway connections (State and Lake) which is good for travelers coming from Midway and those going to Wrigley. Michigan Ave is a few blocks up but the subway can get you there a little quicker on a cold day. Dinning... more

I just got back from a four night stay at the Renaissance Chicago Hotel. Before my trip I read all the reviews and was excited to stay here, but after my trip I don't know if I would necessarily stay here again. The room: The room in general was really nice. It was spacious, well appointed, and very clean. We... more

The room included two very nice chairs, three small tables, nice artwork, a large desk with two chairs, and great lighting from several lamps. The room had a large closet with an automatic closet light... more

Just returned from a 5 night stay at The Renaissance and had a great time. We were there for a girl's get away. Everything about the hotel was great from the moment we arrived. The whole lobby smelled wonderful and check in was great. We upgraded to the Club Level but be aware that the lounge is not open on... more

The Renaissance is probably one of the nicest hotels in downtown Chicago. I have enjoyed their service twice now, and each time has been an excellent experience. The hotel is probably five or six blocks from Magnificent Mile and a short hike to Millenium Park. The hotel has a constant stream of cabs to take you to more distant attractions... more

My husband and I stayed at the Renaissance Chicago in Nov. for 5 nights. The hotel was clean, had nice sized rooms, coffee makers, and the normal amenities that you would expect in an American hotel. We did not try the restaurant, but there was a Starbucks in the lobby that was very convenient. If you walk out the back... more
