In the heart of downtown Chicago, situated at the junction of both the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, sets a beautiful 4 diamond luxury hotel. A hotel that is not only award winning, but also an all-glass sleek looking establishment.
From the hotel’s location, you can easily stride and access The Magnificent Mile in Downtown Chicago, the Navy Pier and so much more! When you travel, it’s about amenities, luxurious accommodations and quality in service so that you can simply focus on your journey.
Today, I will share with you a beautiful luxury hotel in downtown Chicago, so you too can lavishly live travel out loud and indulge in the amenities, nightlife, and area!
THE LUXURY U-DRIVE
I love arriving at my hotels, site unseen, just lightly check out and the Swissotel Chicago was as sophisticated looking as it was sleek. The grand u-driveway, overlooking the Chicago River, ideally situated was breathtaking.
CHECK IN
Forewarned is forearmed, check-in is not until at least noon and that is if they are not booked up with conventions, etc. I will say this, by about 1P I got a text that my room was ready, which was great news, but I was deep in the city and having a blast, I returned at my leisure. I personally did not find the site overly informative, so I called and asked all of my questions and the staff was more than able to answer my questions!
I love checking into my room, however, I arrived way beyond early check-in so I had to stroll the city and wait, they texted me when my room was ready. Additionally, they provided me an umbrella (of course it’s raining, it’s Chicago), and then they stored my luggage for pick up later!

THE ROOM
Yes, that’s me super excited for the view of the Chicago River from my room and all too happy to watch the life in the city just moving!
I’ll let my video show you all the amenities, from a shower to a bathtub and all the other grand features.
THE BED
When I travel, I am totally about my bed, from cleanliness to comfort. I am so picky, I can not even begin to describe my obsession with clean, and comfortable. I will tell you this, the King -size bed in the room was definitely off-the-charts comfortable and I got a great nights sleep. In fact, after a full day of activity, I took a nice little nap here and enjoyed the comforts of this room!
FITNESS ANYONE
Travel up in the elevators and you will find a workout room, overlooking the city. A quick lap in the swimming pool and a jacuzzi are the perfect ways to end the day, look at how beautiful.
AT NIGHT
I loved the beauty of hotel at night, look at the ambiance.
ELEVATORS
One night, as I stood waiting for an elevator down, I talked to a guy who said make sure you requested the elevator because this place is odd with the elevators. I will make a note that the elevators in this hotel are a little weird! You have to study them for a second and then you will catch on and that is all I am going to say about it.
LAVISHLY LIVE TRAVEL OUT LOUD
The rooms as you can see were amenity loaded, the WiFi worked well and the AC and fan ran perfectly to buzz out all the noise and provide the perfect sleeping ambiance. Plan your time in Chicago and hopefully, it will include a stay at this 4 diamond luxury hotel. Lavishly live travel out loud, close to both Midway and O’Hare airports and ready and waiting for your next travel journey.
I spent a great deal of time to locate something like this

Glad to hear that this hotel is close to the major airports. Around how much does it cost per night?
I’m really liking this Swissotel and that gym and jacuzzi adds a really nice touch. I will have to visit there soon. Looks awesome!
I’m visiting Chi-town next month. I won’t be staying at this hotel, but I definitely will check it out!
Wow, this hotel is definitely a beauty!! Just the fitness center alone convinced me. Hope to one day be able to visit and enjoy all the amenities this hotel has to offer.
The hotel is amazing and the view is absolutely beautiful. One of my college mates has been to Chicago with her family for vacation and she said she stayed in this hotel. She said the experience was amazing and said it was the best vacation she ever had. She even talked about the famous “Deep Dish Pizza.” We were all excited to hear that. And you look pretty exciting and the best part that attracted me is the king size bed. Amazing.
This is absolutely amazing to see and you are very lucky to be there and experience it. You are so sweet to share it with us too. Thank you for that. I have never been to Chicago myself but would love to and I can see the rooms are amazing and I loved the fitness center with a pool in it. So cool. Enjoy.
The indoor pool already had me sold on the idea, the Jacuzzi was just the icing on the cake. Although, I would have to take your word on the whole weird elevator issue, I’ll have to look out for those if I plan on checking in, thanks for the tip!
I’m curious about that elevator. Looks like there’s a story behind it!
Whoa. The fitness center looks great. And by the way, you are right about “The” Deep Dish Pizza.
A friend of mine spent the week in that hotel when he went to Chicago and he and his wife totally loved it. The view is amazing too
Awesome hotel wish i could go there! You should try Swissotel in Singapore too!
I frequent this hotel when I’m on my business trips. The donuts are definitely worth checking out. It’s a hotel, basic amenities are all there. No complaints about that. They really respect your privacy too.
When I saw your bed I got excited. I love pictures of bed with white covers. It looks refreshing and exciting to sleep in there. Plus the hotel really look like sophisticated one. Is this one affordable? I love to be there one day.
It is very important that your hotel is at a strategic location. Near to almost all places in your itinerary. If I travel by plane, I look for a hotel that’s near the airport too. Not beside the airport but probably a 10- or 15-minute drive.
Beautiful! I’ve never stayed at a Swissotel before, but I heard they’re superb. And now, coming from the THE Dana Vento, that’s already a badge of approval! I will look for one in my future journeys.
Thanks for sharing your experience in chicago. Now i can put this in my bucket list this is sure a to-go place for many!
So many big buildings, this is total luxury! I love the comfy bed your had there.
The hotel looks top notch I can definitely see myself in here. See but not live because my wallet cannot take it ha ha.
A hotel that looks like an office building on the outside but a suite on the inside wow!!!I wonder how far will it set me back if I stay a night in these.
It’s a 4 diamond luxury hotel. Hotel rooms were amenity loaded, the WIFI worked well and the AC and fan ran perfectly to buzz out all the noise and provide the perfect sleeping ambiance. Nice post for travelers and must be a comfortable place to rest after travel to downtown Chicago.
