Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago, you’re immediately struck by how the soaring glass facade reflects the Chicago River below. This five-star tower sits right in River North, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — you’re literally steps from the Magnificent Mile and Navy Pier. The lobby feels appropriately grand without being stuffy, though I’ll admit the Trump branding is pretty prominent if that matters to you.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was genuinely impressive, with floor-to-ceiling windows that made me feel like I was floating above Chicago. You know what really stood out? The beds are incredibly comfortable — apparently other guests agree because this place gets rave reviews for sleep quality. The marble bathrooms are spacious, and there’s actually a separate soaking tub if you want to unwind after walking around the city all day. The kitchenette setup is pretty clever too, with high-end appliances that actually work well.

Location & Neighborhood

River North is one of those neighborhoods where you can walk everywhere, and this hotel puts you right in the thick of it. I mean, you’re a five-minute stroll to the riverwalk, which is gorgeous during sunset, and Michigan Avenue shopping is basically next door. What I really appreciated was how easy it was to grab a cab or rideshare — drivers know exactly where this building is. Couples seem to love staying here (the location scores are through the roof), and I can see why — there’s something romantic about those river views.

Dining & Amenities

The breakfast situation is actually quite good, with options ranging from continental basics to more specialized diets — they’ve got vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and even kosher choices covered. The restaurant on-site serves solid American cuisine, though honestly, with so many incredible dining options within walking distance, I found myself exploring the neighborhood more. There’s a spa that feels appropriately luxurious, and the fitness center has those panoramic city views that make treadmill time less painful.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this hotel delivers on the luxury experience you’d expect from a five-star property in downtown Chicago. The parking is private and on-site, which is honestly a huge relief in this part of the city where street parking is basically impossible. What really sets it apart is the combination of that prime River North location with genuinely comfortable accommodations — those beds really are as good as advertised. The staff knows the area well and can point you toward hidden gems, plus the building itself has become something of a Chicago landmark. It’s pricey, sure, but for a special occasion or when you want to feel properly pampered in the Windy City, it delivers.

The concierge service in Chicago arranges private architecture cruises, Michelin reservations, and skydeck cocktail hours.
