Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago

The hotel was perfect for our family reunion. Having the two pools was perfect! We really enjoyed the evenings by the pool when it seemed to clear out and it was just us. The restaurant and hotel bar were great.

This location is SO CLOSE to everything! A super short walk to Millennial Park (which was perfect for pictures, and stuff for the kids) and walking distance to the waterfront. We also walked to The Museum of Ice Cream and tons of shopping. The check-in process was seamless. They even waived the early check-in after telling them I had two sleepy babies in the car and it was Mother’s Day. :-) That was such a relief. We decided to pay the $75 valet fee (which conveniently came out of the $100 nightly incidental fee) so we could come and go as we please with our vehicle without paying multiple times to park but because of the close proximity to everything - we never even used our car! Valet guys and bellhops customer service was FIVE STAR! Super friendly and always helpful with a sense of urgency and class! There’s a limited selection Starbucks on-site which I didn’t know until we left - great selling point that could be mentioned at check-in for tired parents. ♥️ Room service prices seemed reasonable although we decided to order DoorDash instead since there were so many delivery fee free options! Seamless delivery as well as many people were opting for DoorDash! My only complaint is that the room could’ve used a deep clean. It was fine surface level but you can tell it hasn’t had a deep clean in a while. The views were incredible and we had a corner unit with walkout balcony but couldn’t really enjoy the view because the windows were SO dirty. Baseboard dust accumulation, etc.

The staff was very friendly. However, the walls are thin and the late night guests can be easily heard rambling through the hallways, slamming doors. I wouldn't recommend for a family. The room was ok - the bedding was terrible. but we were there for just a night. No robes - and no signs that they recycle or reduce waste.

This hotel was great. The only thing is the parking. It was $59 each night for parking. It is surrounded by stores so you can shop, and places that you can enjoy yourself even with kids. I would definitely go back but try to figure out something else for the parking.

3rd time staying here and Everytime we have got free upgrade. Hotel really has everything you need from pool and spa, to games room etc for kids. Rooms clean and spacious and within short walk of Michigan avenue

I had a rough checking in the I wasn’t given the room I booked. I then upgraded and to a balcony room but again I was given the wrong room. I hated the inconvenience. I had a baby I wanted to settle and enjoy the hotel. But I guess we just need to advocate for ourselves.

I can’t say enough about my stay, from the valet, check in and the staff at the restaurant. Everyone was so friendly and the food at the restaurant was amazing (Flatbread pizza and Ny Strip). I felt like family when I left and will definitely stay again.

Over all. Very nice. Did not enjoy giving up my pool cabana for DJ booth. Music played that day was very vulgar for young childrens ears. Also. Did not appreciate calling front desk for maid service when required.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel was the perfect spot for our family to relax or to enjoy access to viewing native plant options while I attended meetings at the Lurie Garden.

The location of the hotel was perfect for visiting family in the neighborhood, shopping at Macy's on State Street and access to Millineum Park and the Chicago River.
