The River Hotel

“An Absolute Architectural Gem: Living Inside Chicago's History! ​--- If you want a truly unique Chicago experience instead of a generic glass-and-steel hotel box, the River Hotel (located inside the historic Mather Tower) is an absolute must. ​Here are the reasons why our stay was unforgettable: *​The Jaw-Dropping Views: The view right out of our window was simply outstanding. Looking out at the Chicago River and the stunning architecture surrounding us felt like living inside a moving postcard. ​*Living Within History: You have to remember that you are staying in a masterpiece built in 1928, famously known as the skinniest skyscraper in Chicago. Because of this historic architectural footprint, you shouldn't complain about the room sizes—instead, embrace the cozy, elegant, and intimate design. You are literally living inside a piece of preserved history, and the character of the building is unmatched. * ​Flawless Service: The service here is perfect. From the moment you arrive, the staff makes you feel genuinely loved and cared for. * ​The Little Details: A special shout-out to the second floor—walking by and catching the amazing, rich smell of fresh coffee every day was the perfect morning greeting. ​If you appreciate architecture, history, and top-tier hospitality, do not hesitate to book a room here. We loved every minute!”

“Ok... So this is it. The room was ugly, in that the carpet needed replacing and there were hardly any pictures or anything outside besides a wall outside the window. But, it was perfect because there were two bathrooms and two beds in separate areas. Almost as though there used to be two rooms now opened into one. Due to the fact I was with a friend and we wanted separate spaces this was excellent!! The concierge service was amazing, helpful, and delightful. The location was amazing directly across from the river with easy access to the Riverwalk. It's was quiet and comfortable and works absolutely come back!!”
