The pool is wonderful and so is the gym for amenities. The hot tub wasn't working which was disappointing.

I loved our stay at Radisson Blu Aqua Chicago. The indoor pool was understandably crowded during a lightning storm, but the facilities were otherwise fantastic. Swimming in the outdoor pool among the skyscrapers was fascinating. The room and staff were all helpful and accommodating. Would love to stay again some time!

My wife and I enjoyed the property very much. I know it's a little thing, but they really need new coffee makers. The staff, pool, and restaurants were all wonderful.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Radisson Blu Aqua. The location is truly one of the best parts of this hotel and made our Chicago trip so easy and enjoyable. We were close to so much and loved being able to walk to so many of the places we wanted to see. It really felt like the perfect home base for our trip. The food was great, the service was wonderful, and the staff was so kind and helpful throughout our stay. Everything just felt easy, comfortable, and welcoming, which makes such a difference when you’re traveling. We had a really great experience here and would absolutely stay again the next time we come back to Chicago.
