Frommer's Review

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).

Facilities:
Restaurant (American); lounge; indoor pool w/skylights; health club w/whirlpool and steam room; concierge; FedEx Kinko's in lobby; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service and dry cleaning; club-level rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
