Modern Vibes Just Steps from Chicago's Music Scene

Aloft Chicago Mag Mile brings a bold, contemporary style to the heart of downtown Chicago. Just a short walk from the Magnificent Mile and close to iconic music venues, this 3-star hotel blends comfort with a sleek, urban aesthetic. With an indoor pool, fitness center, on-site dining, and pet-friendly rooms, it’s a smart, stylish base for concert-goers exploring the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re never far from the music here—whether you’re heading to a stadium show or catching a local act at a nearby club, Aloft’s central location makes getting around easy. It’s less than a 20-minute walk to spots like the Chicago Theatre and House of Blues. The 24-hour front desk means late-night returns are hassle-free, and soundproofed rooms let you crash peacefully after the encore.

Food and Drink Options

Refuel without going far. The on-site restaurant offers casual bites, and there are vending machines for late-night snacks. 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. You’re also a short stroll from River North’s buzzing nightlife scene, with bars, clubs, and comedy spots all within walking distance. Prefer to keep it chill?

The Bottom Line

Aloft Chicago Mag Mile is a stylish, centrally located hotel that hits the sweet spot for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action without sacrificing comfort.

Good

Liked: The location was convenient.Most places are walkable.I left rings inside an uber and the uber driver dropped it off without any name/ label. The staff at the front desk (Aug 5 morning) really helped me looked for it.
Disliked: Our room wasn't cleaned every other day as promised. We stayed for 9 days and they only cleaned it thrice. I understand that we stay in bed till lunch and they try to clean in the morning. I was hoping they will do it after we leave the room by lunchtime

Liked: Location is good (close to the center and there are a lot of restaurants). Very clean. This is place mostly for young people, not for family (no swimming pool, no normal breakfast).
Disliked: Parking wallet is expensive. Very loudly and not so much space in the lobby during the evening.Actually for this money you can take another hotel with the view.

Average.

Liked: The beds were comfortable. The shower was nice.
Disliked: There should have been more mirrors, electrical outlets, and functional storage space. There were NO towel bars on the bathroom walls, and there was ample room for them. There was no good way to put on makeup. Not enough towels.
