THE CHICAGO HOTEL COLLECTION RIVER NORTH, Chicago

The hotel is in the vibrant River North neighbourhood, surrounded by dining options such as KiKi's Bistro, Yolk, and Griddle 24 within 0.5 km. The Chicago 'L' train station is a 3-minute walk, providing direct access to downtown and O'Hare or Midway airports. Magnificent Mile (1 km) and Water Tower Chicago (1 km) are a short stroll or quick ride. Midway International Airport is 15 km away. While the area is walkable to attractions, some rooms are directly adjacent to the elevated train tracks, which can cause noise - quieter rooms are available upon request.

All rooms feature private bathrooms with walk-in showers, flat-screen TVs, free toiletries, and hairdryers. Options include double rooms with kitchenettes, apartments with full kitchens and dining tables, corner suites with seating areas, and rooms with a queen bed plus a bunk bed above - ideal for families or groups. The design is modern and clean, with comfortable beds and quality fixtures. However, rooms facing the elevated train line can be noisy; interior or lower-floor rooms tend to be quieter. Some rooms lack closets, using wall hooks instead. A fully equipped shared kitchen is available in the basement for guest use.

DropShot offers vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. A coffee shop provides complimentary hot drinks for guests, and the snack bar offers light bites. Dinner is not served on-site, but numerous restaurants are within a short walk. Note that breakfast is not included in the room rate; the mandatory amenity fee includes daily drinks (e.g., bottled water, soda, and coffee). Guests wanting dinner should plan to dine at one of the many nearby eateries in River North.

The basement features a games room equipped with table tennis, billiards, board games, and a shared lounge with a TV. Outdoor furniture is available for relaxing. There is no pool, gym, or spa on site; however, the amenity package includes Peloton bike delivery to the room upon request. The games room and common kitchen are popular areas for groups and social gatherings.
