Concierge "Blu is well placed in the city, within easy striking distance of both Millennium Park and North Michigan Avenue."
Fodor's "With design savvy inside as well as out, this gem has generously sized rooms and so many amenities and so much outdoor space that it feels like an upscale resort in the heart of downtown." Full review
Star Service "This state-of-the-art hotel—the first Radisson Blu to open in North America—occupies the lower 18 floors of the Aqua Tower in Chicago's Loop, just north of Millennium Park.
" Full review
Gayot "This iconic tower in downtown Chicago houses 334 stylish rooms, including fifteen king suites, two Lakeshore suites and the Aqua two-bedroom Presidential Suite."
Condé Nast Traveler "Set inside an undulating, 82-story skyscraper designed by architect Jeanne Gang, this hotel takes Scandinavian design to rather sleek heights, even if it only occupies the first 18 floors." Full review

About half of the rooms have balconies (a Chicago rarity) so request one; there’s no extra charge.

Michelin Guide "A perfect blend of old and new... This hotel has seriously good bones, but its interiors wow even further with a fresh, contemporary design."
Fodor's "Mixing architectural elegance with a sleek modern style, this historic property has lots of gorgeous areas." Full review
OysterLuxury
"Opened in late 2010, this upscale hotel is housed in a historic neoclassical-style building with crystal chandeliers and a grand staircase in the lobby." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Its location in the Loop, a block from the Board of Trade, screams “business hotel,” but this 610-room Marriott defies that categorization." Full review
Star Service "Nonetheless, this Marriott is one of the only deluxe-leaning addresses in The Loop, as most of the deluxe hotels cluster near Michigan Avenue, north of the river.
" Full review
Gayot "Among American cities, Chicago has one of the finest architectural legacies, which is why we're so glad to see the restoration of its Daniel Burnham."
BlackBook "The 610-room hotel focuses on modern luxury with crisp and sophisticated rooms set with bright, warm colors and amenities like an indoor pool and a spa complete with Turkish baths."
