My trip was for a business convention. The hotel is a new or remodeled property with a very contemporary design. I understand the property is a hotel/residence.

My room had blonde hardwood floors, stark white bathroom with nice, bright lighting, separate shower/tub with a rain shower head. The door to the bathroom is a sliding door so they maximized the space.

Traveling for business, I like to have a nice work space. My desk was also the space to house the television, so I would have preferred to have a separate space where I could spread out. I was on the 9th floor and had a nice, airy view of the city which was pleasant to awaken in my view.

The bed was very cozy and had little night reading lights on either side, as to not disturb a bed mate. Nice touch!

For the meeting space, I would have liked to see better service for the breakfast servicing for our group (refilling beverages, not having to remind staff 3 times to bring lemons, etc.), would have liked to have the waters refilled more frequently at the tables in the large conference room and also in the breakouts.

Location is not bad. Still will want to take a taxi to the "downtown Chicago scene" in winter months. Probably an easy walk in the summer. Overall nice property to stay, but could use a bit of refining on the meeting service. I would come back!

We stayed at Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel on the New Year's Eve. We had two rooms, one for my wife and I and the other for our friends.

We had pretty good time celebrating the new year's eve here - they turned the lobby in to a dance floor with an awesome DJ!

Pros:
Beautiful property.
Very clean and 'rich'.
Very easy check-in.
Nice amenities.
Stylish modern rooms.
Big and clean bathrooms.
Awesome room service.
Nice restaurant/bar on property.
Close proximity to the Magnificient Mile.
Across from Aon Center and Microsoft building.
Very courteous, polite and helpful staff.

Cons:
Parking - expensive (though not different from rest of the hotel properties around there. After all, it is Chi downtown!)

This is my wife's favorite building in the City. This past weekend, I took her to Blue Aqua for a weekend getaway to celebrate her birthday. When we first walked in, I very impressed. The hotel is very tendy and modern. The customer sevice was excellent and the rooms were classy and nice. I also liked that this is a green hotel with a rooftop park.

We had a bottle of wine late night at the bar. The bar area is pretty swank. You can have a drink at the bar, in lounge chairs up above, or next to a modern fireplace. Very cool. This is one trendiest places we have stayed in. It is right across from Millenium Park, and a little bit of a walk to the Mag Mile. The hotel is so cool, and the staff are so friendly, we will definately be making reservations at this hotel in the future. If you like modern architecture and a hotel with classy, modern designed accomodations that also provides exceptional customer service, this is the hotel for you.

We had a wonderful stay at Radisson Blu Aqua hotel for 3 days in January. The hotel is calm and cool with a modern vibe. Close to everything with an extremely friendly staff. Check out the bar in the hotel and ask for Laura she was great and the food was excellent!! We loved the room decor espeially the bathroom and the shower and had a romantic stay! We are planning our next trip in June!!
