The Westin Chicago River North - Property information

What to expect: Built in 1959 and remodeled in 1998, this 34-floor hotel has a spacious, sunken lobby with low couches and small tables arranged in conversational groupings. Vases of orchids, Asian artwork, and a gentle waterfall create a tranquil atmosphere. Vacationing couples come and go, along with families in sneakers; business travelers read newspapers, work on laptops, and talk shop.
• Amenity highlights: For a daily or weekly fee, guests have use of a full-service, on-site health club with a wide range of exercise equipment. Freshly laundered towels, T-shirts, shorts, and socks are available for guests, and massage therapy is offered by appointment. The hotel provides 24-hour room service, a multilingual staff, and a business center with computers, printers, fax machines, and modems.
• Insider Tip: Across the street from the hotel is the popular Harry Caray’s restaurant, named for the former Chicago Cubs baseball announcer. Brimming with Chicago sports and political memorabilia—including a row of seats from the old Comiskey ballpark—it’s a fun setting for an Italian or steak dinner.
