Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

A hotel without much of a personality, the Renaissance Chicago is tasteful and understated -- perfectly suited to the business travelers who are the hotel's bread and butter. This large operation offers all your standard high-end amenities but is indistinguishable from any number of executive-style hotels elsewhere in the country. Still, this is a good bet for high-end service if you want a Loop location. Standard rooms include a small sitting area with an armchair and desk; Club-level rooms, located on the top four floors, are half a room larger and have their own concierge and private lounge, where complimentary continental breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres are served. The rooms are decorated stylishly, with deep yellow and blue bedding and silver decorative accents. Request a river view for the best cityscape (corner suites also have excellent views of both the Chicago River and Lake Michigan).
