Residence Inn

A River North Retreat

Positioned in the thick of the action, the Residence Inn Chicago Downtown River North offers a distinct advantage for those who want the energy of the city right at their doorstep. Located on Dearborn Street, just north of the Chicago River, this property sits amidst a high density of restaurants, jazz clubs, and art galleries. It serves as an ideal launchpad for foodies and nightlife enthusiasts who want to explore Hubbard Street’s famous scene without worrying about cabs or long walks home.

Suites Designed for Living

The accommodations at this property are exclusively suites, designed to provide a separation between life and work that standard hotel rooms often lack. Ranging from studios to one and two bedroom layouts, each unit features a distinct living area with a sofa and a work desk. The decor is functional and modern, prioritizing comfort and utility over high concept design.

A standout feature is the fully equipped kitchen in every suite. Guests have access to a full sized refrigerator, stovetop, microwave, and dishwasher, along with pots, pans, and utensils. This setup allows for real meal preparation, a significant benefit for families or extended stay guests looking to save on dining costs. Complimentary grocery delivery service further simplifies the process, letting you stock your fridge without leaving the hotel.

Dining and Wellness on Site

While the neighborhood is packed with dining options, the hotel offers its own convenient choices. A complimentary hot breakfast buffet is served daily, featuring a rotating menu of healthy and hearty items to start the day. In the evening, Holloway’s Bar provides a low key setting for craft cocktails and small plates, perfect for unwinding after a day of meetings or sightseeing.

For those maintaining a fitness regimen, the hotel includes a fitness center equipped with cardio machines and free weights. Uniquely for a downtown property, there is also an indoor pool, offering a place to swim laps or let kids burn off energy regardless of the weather outside.

Neighborhood Connectivity

The River North location is strategic for both leisure and business. You are a short walk from the Merchandise Mart and the loop’s financial district just across the river. To the east, the Magnificent Mile offers world class shopping within minutes. Public transportation is highly accessible, with the Grand Red Line station nearby providing a direct link to Wrigley Field or the South Side.

Ideal Guest Profile

• Extended Stay Business Travelers: Consultants and project managers who need a fully functional apartment setup with hotel services for weeks at a time.

• Families: The extra space of a suite, the indoor pool, and the free breakfast make this a high value option for parents traveling with children.

• Urban Explorers: Visitors who want to be in the center of the dining and nightlife action while having a quiet, comfortable base to return to.
