    Its service was great. Great-sized and recently renovated room, it included a living area, a storage space, and sound-proofed windows. The staff was all efficient and extremely friendly. The location was good, right next to the Riverwalk, convenient to go everywhere.

    I selected this hotel for a conference due to its impressive 16,000 square feet of fully renovated, state-of-the-art meeting spaces with inspiring views of the city and river. The support team was able to customize the meeting spaces to our exact needs, providing a distinct and memorable local flavor to our event.

    The one service I missed for my work was a business center with dedicated staff to assist with any last-minute printing or administrative needs.

    The hotel boasts central location to the river as described. The units were well-appointed and recently refurbished with a view for my daughter's birthday.

    The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown was a pleasant accommodation for my business trip. The fitness center was top-notch, with the latest cardio training and strength training equipment, including a Peloton bike, ensuring I could maintain my workout routine. The hotel also offers a beautiful view of the city, contributing to a delightful stay. The staff was helpful and attentive, making my experience even more enjoyable.

    They immediately tried to upsell for a better view, which then becomes disappointing when you see what you paid for.
