First overnight at this beauttiful hotel in Chicago. The decor, architecture are simply beautiful. We had a corner room with a Chicago "room with a view" and all this implies. Beautiful modern decor room with floor to ceiling window (two full walls of this corner room). The registration staff were personal and efficient. The lobby is eye candy for the design devotee. Will definitely visit again.

Stayed here briefly in January 2013. Was upgraded upon check-in to an 18th-floor "business class" room with access to the 17th-floor lounge (including a fine breakfast, continental but rather substantial). The room, amenities, and service were all excellent, as was the Filini restaurant. The decor is decidedly modern and Euro-cool, with upscale bath and lighting fixtures and such high-tech features as an in-room iPad to access the hotel's services. The location is superlative. This hotel is among the more distinctive choices in a neighborhood with many good options, yet its prices are competitive. Highly recommended, especially for guests who appreciate modern design.

Just returned from a winter vacation in Chicago. The prices were GREAT and the crowds non-existant. We booked our room based on TripAdvisor ratings, and were VERY PLEASED, especially with the prices at this 4.5 - 5 star hotel. Our room looked south, with a view of both the city and the lake. Very clean, quiet and comfortable. The concierge on Wednesday morning was so helpful in providing directions, as were all the doormen, always. Walked to the museums (about 40 minutes in the park), the Navy Pier (15 min) and the Magnificent Mile - it was a great location. Can't say much bad about this hotel except maybe the breakfast in the restaurant was a little ordinary, but I'm streatching for something negative to say. Would definately stay here again, especially in the off season.

Radisson Blu hotel, Chicago was a beautiful hotel and the staff was very friendly & accommodating. The rooms were uniquely decorated, beds were extremely comfortable, the bathroom were a good size. Location is close to Navy Pier and Michigan Avenue. Great Sportsbar a few blocks on Michigan called Sweetwaters.
