Loews Chicago Hotel, Chicago, Illinois

Loews Chicago Hotel

Modern riverfront · Near Michigan Avenue & Navy Pier · Rooftop terrace

Best for sightseers who want a modern downtown base within easy walking distance of the Chicago Riverwalk, Michigan Avenue and Navy Pier.

Quick Verdict: Marriott Marquis Chicago vs Loews Chicago Hotel

When Marriott Marquis Chicago wins: choose the Marriott Marquis if you need large, flexible meeting and ballroom space (nearly 90,000 sq ft across many rooms), direct skybridge access to McCormick Place, or a high-capacity hotel for conventions and big groups.

When Loews Chicago Hotel wins: pick Loews if you prefer a River North/riverfront location, a smaller, more boutique-feeling scale (about 400 guestrooms), a rooftop terrace and easy walking access to Michigan Avenue, the Riverwalk and Navy Pier.

Bottom line: both are contemporary downtown choices — Marriott Marquis is the practical, high-capacity convention property in the South Loop; Loews is the more central, sightseeing-oriented luxury option closer to the river and lakefront.

Practical for event attendees and visitors to the South Loop / McCormick Place area.

Loews Chicago Hotel – Location

Loews Chicago Hotel is centrally located near the Chicago Riverwalk, Michigan Avenue and Navy Pier.

  • About a 5-minute walk to the Chicago Riverwalk and a short walk to Michigan Avenue.
  • Within walking distance of Millennium Park, the Art Institute and Navy Pier attractions.
  • Close to lakefront trails and city sightseeing routes in the River North / Lakeshore area.

Better positioned for sightseeing, shopping and the Riverwalk/Navy Pier corridor.

Wellness & nightlife

Marriott Marquis Chicago – Wellness & nightlife

Marriott Marquis focuses on fitness and event support rather than on-site spa or nightlife.

  • Complimentary, expansive 24-hour fitness center with varied equipment and lake views.
