The Spotlight on Aloft Chicago Mag Mile

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.

Solo travelers can enjoy a stylish, secure stay close to venues and public transit.
Couples can make a romantic weekend of it, with city views and nearby dining.

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?

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that rooms can feel a bit compact, and a few miss having more extensive on-site dining options. Parking is available but comes at an additional cost—something to factor in for road-trippers.

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.

Very good

Liked: Location is fabulous. Great room and bed. Fun lobby with excellent bar. Laundry dropped at front desk returns that night beautifully cleaned and even ironed.
Disliked: As i was eventually told, this is a no service hotel. No room service. "Breakfast made to order" is a misnomer. A few items mostly heated in microwave. You take care of yourself.
