“A unique experience at the best hotel in town”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

We think you have a superb hotel, location, cleanliness, staff, courtesy, timeliness and all those small things we did not find in other Chicago's best hotels. Your hotel was recommended to us by Mr. Predrag Petkovic, with praise and assurance that we would have a great and resplendent experience. The luxury, the response of your staff, the friendliness, the entire... More

“Not worth the money, but a nice hotel”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Location: The location is decent. You are a few blocks from Millenium Park and Grant Park is just a bit further. There is a CVS next door for incidentals. The subway is a bit of a walk, but that's the city for you. You can get some clear views of the Tower about a block and a half down. Service:... More

“Very disappointing”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

This is a strange hotel. It's new and some of the service issues can be thus attributed, the more serious ones are permanent, however. There are no (zero) drawers in the three flimsy pieces of furniture that could easily accommodate them but the owners have apparently chosen to forego drawers. The windows, which feature a wonderful view, appeared to have... More

“Fantastic Hotel”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

This is a very new hotel with an ultra-modern decor. The location is excellent for sights in or near the loop. Of particular note is the location adjacent to the fabulous Millenium Park. Our room was on the 12th floor. Very comfortable bed, good mini-bar, excellent shower stall, perfect free WiFi, quiet, clean, good lighting, great TV coverage. The fitness... More

“Great Hotel, Great Location”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

The Radisson Blu Aqua is located in a beautiful location that not only offers great views of the Navy Pier (if your room is on that side), but is also a great location for convenience and access to so many of the attractions in downtown Chicago. Walking distance (easy walking distance, even in heels) to Millennium Park and the Magnificent... More

“Fantastic experience”

My family (2 adults + 2 'tweens") really enjoyed our 3-night stay at this beautiful hotel. The staff were professional, courteous and very helpful. The lobby and guest rooms were decorated beautifully. The building itself is a piece of art (the architect won awards for her design). There's a beautiful, long fireplace in the lobby and a small art gallery... More
