I stayed for two nights at this very new Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel in heart of Chicago downtown.

Since hotel is very new, everything is so fresh and new...Decor is awesome and every place is just stone thow away....
1. millennium park.2 min walk
2. birmingham fountain chicago 5min walk
3. Sea Shore...
4. Navy pier.. 5min by car
5. Aquarium 5min car.

Main market.....2min walk....

We stayed here for three nights in October. We got the AAA rate, which included breakfast, so actually was a pretty good deal ($250/night) given that every hotel in town that week seemed to be booked solid. The buffet breakfast was fine, the restaurant staff were kind of clueless.

As many others have said, nice rooms, good bed, relatively quiet. Everything was very clean. We didn't like the spa shower - we want to be blasted by a shower not caressed! But that's personal taste, I know many people love rain showers.

Location wasn't ideal for our needs on this trip - a long hike to the Blue Line, for example, on a cold night. But if you want to be near the lake, it's good.

Although it was only for one night, my stay was excellent. The staff is friendly, helpful, and professional. The room was well decorated and the bed was very comfortable. I had lunch at the hotel restaurant and it was much better than average with excellent service and a good variety. Will definitely stay again when I am back in Chicago.

I stayed in a standard room on the 12th floor with a view of the skyline. Everything is new and clean and modern.

The room is a bit tight, space and storage wise, but comfortable enough for two on a short stay. The highlight was the bathroom. Separate bath and shower, and a water closet tucked in the corner. The large glass shower door slides over to close off the commode when the shower is not in use. The privacy was really nice.
The bathtub was so deep and inviting that I jumped in on my first evening there for a long soak.

I didn't spend any time in the hotel restaurant or using the other amenities. Chicago as right outside the door. I found a fabulous cafe right around the corner for breakfasts and the Blu Aqua is easy walking distance from Millennium Park, with ice skating (even though it was in the high 60's for the entire time I was there in early December) and the famous Cloud Gate.
