The Spotlight on The Westin Chicago River North

Stylish Riverfront Stay in the Heart of Downtown Chicago

Modern luxury meets downtown energy at The Westin Chicago River North, a sleek, upscale hotel nestled between Chicago’s buzzing theater and business districts. Overlooking the scenic Chicago River and just six blocks from Michigan Avenue shopping, this hotel offers city views, plush rooms, and a calming vibe just steps from the action.
Rooms feature 47-inch flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, marble bathrooms, and Starbucks coffee makers. Whether you're here for a high-energy night out or a relaxing post-show retreat, this hotel balances convenience with comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything — and The Westin delivers. With major concert venues, including theaters and clubs, within walking distance or a quick ride away, you’ll spend less time commuting and more time enjoying the music. The nearby Clark/Lake and Merchandise Mart stations make late-night L rides easy, and the quiet rooms with city or river views offer a peaceful crash pad after the encore. Flexible 4 PM check-in and 12 PM checkout sweeten the deal for travelers on a music-fueled schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading out for a big night downtown
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list show
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of music and city life
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space with luxurious touches
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want upscale comfort

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up before or after the show at 320 Restaurant & Bar, or satisfy your sushi cravings at the renowned Kamehachi right in the lobby. While there's no 24/7 room service, you'll find quality dining right on-site and plenty of late-night bites nearby. Morning after? The hotel’s Starbucks coffee and in-room coffee makers make early starts optional.

Nightlife Options

You're in the middle of it all — with bars, clubs, and lounges within easy reach. While the hotel keeps things serene inside, the River North neighborhood offers plenty of nightlife just outside the door. Whether you're after rooftop cocktails, craft brews, or a low-key whiskey bar, it’s all walkable.

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautiful river views, clean and spacious rooms, and the professional, friendly staff. Many highlight the unbeatable location for exploring downtown and catching shows. The modern decor and calming ambiance also win points, especially after a loud night out.

Areas for Improvement

If you're a light sleeper, request an upper floor — downtown bustle can creep in at lower levels. Some guests mention that the on-site dining closes earlier than expected, but with so many nearby options, it’s rarely a deal-breaker.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want to be close to the music but come home to modern luxury, The Westin Chicago River North hits all the right notes.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Sylvia, Lombard

Nice room for the rate. Great location to a lot of venues. No microwave or refrigerator in room, but if you ask at the time of check in, they will bring it for you. Love their soap and shampoo.

Liked: Staff was friendly and engaging.
Disliked: None.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Marissa, Springville

Stayed another night in Chicago, but at a different hotel where I was treated my age and felt very welcomed! I know this hotel is right across the House of Blues, but I won't recommend this hotel to anyone.

Liked: Clean.
Disliked: Didn't realize it was strictly a business hotel - felt out of place and it didn't help when one of the employees kept an eye on me. From the courtyard to the elevator like I was a hoodlum - wasn't very welcoming in that point.

Very poor

Liked: Location
Disliked: When we checked in and went up on the 4th floor the hallway and our room smelled horrible and the smell lingers. The bathroom is very out dated with a very very low old toilet. When I turned on the shower brown water came out.Another thing I didn't care for is we charged our breakfast to our credit card but they charged more than our actual bill was. I complained to their service desk person and he stated that they do that for any incidentals. However they had already charged our card for over 200.00 for incidentals. In regards to customer service they did not have enough staff at the check in desk and it was a long wait. The Westin In Chicago is not high class at all although they charge you a great deal to stay a night. We were there for 2 days and they charged over 800.00. I would not recommend anyone to stay here . It is more a 2 star hotel. That's my opinion.Rooms2.0Service2.0Location5.0
