Bottom Line

This 339-room Trump is one of the top luxury hotels in Chicago, located in a modern glass tower right on the Chicago river and within easy walking distance of the Magnificent Mile. The sleek, glossy decor is subdued and tasteful, and every amenity -- from the Michelin-rated restaurant, to the big indoor pool, to bright fitness center, to the spa -- is first-rate. The huge, tasteful rooms have limestone bathrooms with soaking tubs and floor-to-ceiling windows (often with phenomenal views). Only The Peninsula and The Waldorf can compare.

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago

Scene

A stunning glass tower overlooking the Chicago River

Those who associate the Trump brand with gold and glitz will be pleasantly surprised with this tasteful luxury hotel. It's located in a soaring glass tower right on the Chicago river, and the contemporary decor — glossy wood, shades of white and purple, and floor-to-ceiling windows — is elegant and stylish. It's over-the-top luxurious, without being over-the-top.
