EMBASSY SUITES CHICAGO - DOWNTOWN RIVER NORTH, Chicago

The hotel is 2 km from Navy Pier and a 15-minute walk from Water Tower Place. Michigan Avenue, Millennium Park, the Riverwalk, and numerous restaurants and shops are all within a short walk. The Grand & State CTA Red Line stop is a block away, offering direct service to O'Hare and Midway airports and a 20-minute ride to Wrigley Field. A Jewel-Osco grocery store is across the street, and Trader Joe's, Starbucks, and various cafés are nearby. For guests driving, on-site valet parking is available, and several off-site parking garages are within walking distance.

Suites are styled in warm colours and dark wood, offering a living room with a pull-out sofa bed, a microwave, a refrigerator, a tea and coffee maker, and two flat-screen TVs. A private bedroom with either one king or two double beds is separated by a door. Accessible suites feature roll-in showers or bath tubs with grab bars. The room setup works well for families, as the living area can be closed off for privacy. City views are available from some suites, but certain rooms face the parking garage. The property is older and some rooms show wear; post-April renovations have updated many spaces. Road-facing rooms on lower floors may hear street noise, and a nearby club can cause noise on Friday and Saturday nights. Rooms on higher floors tend to be quieter.

Breakfast is served Monday to Friday from 6:00-9:30 AM and Saturday-Sunday from 7:00-10:30 AM. The buffet includes a made-to-order omelette station, hot items such as scrambled eggs, sausage and potatoes, plus fruit, cereal, yogurt, and pastries.
