Vibrant, eye-catching and wholly authentic, the Royal Sonesta Chicago River North is beloved as one of Chicago’s trendiest and most distinctive hotels. “Upscale” takes on new meaning amid our sleek checkerboard entryway, gilded accents, modern fireplace and Renaissance chandeliers. And our expansive, elegant guest rooms and suites provide the ultimate in comfort. Sonesta transitioned this hotel from Kimpton Hotel Palomar Chicago.

This is an excellent hotel situated in the heart of downtown Chicago, conveniently located near numerous restaurants, the subway station, and within walking distance of Uber and taxi services. The hotel maintains a clean and hygienic environment, with a friendly and attentive front desk and housekeeping staff. The rooms are reasonably sized and offer a comfortable stay. However, I have a concern regarding the distribution of tips left for the hardworking housekeeping maid. It appears that the tips I left did not directly reach the intended maid, but rather the supervisor. I would prefer to tip directly to the maid or for the hotel to ensure that any tips left by guests are directed to the appropriate housekeeper. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
