While 24/7 room service isn’t available, the hotel is surrounded by walkable eateries ranging from deep-dish favorites to global cuisine. Breakfast is available on-site—perfect for a slow start after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

Aloft’s W XYZ bar offers cocktails and a laid-back vibe, often with live music or DJ sets in the lounge.

Aloft is an ideal stay...

Liked: This hotel was ideally located close to the City Centre , Navy Pier and many tourist attractions, with lots of excellent restaurants and shopping nearby. The beds were comfortable and having a (small) pool and nice gym were added bonuses during our stay. The hotel is nicely decorated and very clean
Disliked: Breakfast options were limited- grab n go style- so we went elsewhere - a restaurant for breakfast would make the place perfect!
