"Shopping in Chicago "
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 10, 2024 NEW
This was not our first stay here. Both times, the staff was unbelievable in accommodating us. The rooms were great and the view from the river side is spectacular. The only thing we didn't have this stay, but we had the last time, was a couch instead of two small chairs. We would have asked for a room with a couch if we knew there were furnishings in the rooms. When we checked out, we were able to leave our bags and pick them up later due to more shopping. LUCAS was such a great help helping us with our bags and getting them loaded. I would recommend a stat at this location, and we will diffinately be back again.

"Beautiful city and a perfect location at the Royal Sonesta Downtown Chicago!!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 10, 2024 NEW
We had a wonderful 5 days at the Royal Sonesta Downtown Chicago. The room they gave us was on the 25th floor with a gorgeous view of the river. Very spacious room, comfy beds, large bathroom and a fridge and coffee maker. One day we had left over deep dish pizza and they sent a microwave to our room so we could finish this deliciousness!! We usually ate breakfast downstairs as it was reasonably priced and friendly service. The hotel is situated in a great spot for accessing the riverwalk and boat cruises, Magnificent Mile was within a couple minutes walk and State St was close as well. We found it easy to get around and used Ubers most of the time. United Centre was about a 20 min ride. It was cold as we went in November but we both loved the city and would definitely go back but would try late summer or early fall to enjoy the outside activities a bit more.

The Hotel itself is in the perfect spot if you are looking to experience all that Chicago has to offer. On top of the location the staff is great especially Bellman Billy he always took time away from what he was doing to make sure we were having a fantastic day offering recommendations when needed. They are lucky to have him.

"Nice Hotel in the heart of Chicago"

Very friendly Staff, the rooms were amazing and comfy. The Concierge was a great guy and helpful all the time. My only concern was the restaurant at the lobby. The guy (Mexican) attending was very rude. Maybe because we were also Mexicans :(. Very central. Definitely, If I go again to Chicago I will consider the Sonesta Hotel.
