  • Direct skybridge to McCormick Place and Wintrust Arena — designed for event attendees.
  • Close to Soldier Field, Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium; Lake Michigan views from some rooms.
  • Transit access nearby (Cermak-McCormick Place Green Line station); no airport shuttle.

Choose Marriott Marquis if proximity to McCormick Place or South Loop attractions matters.

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago – Location

Trump International occupies a prominent riverfront tower near the Michigan Avenue bridges and the Chicago Riverwalk.

  • Steps from Chicago Riverwalk and within a few blocks of Michigan Avenue shopping and attractions.
  • Classic downtown location that makes walking to many central sights practical.
  • Easy access to the Loop and riverfront activities.

Choose Trump International for a central riverfront address and easy access to downtown attractions.

Rooms: Convention-floor efficiency vs Tower luxury

Marriott Marquis Chicago – Rooms

Marriott Marquis offers a very large room inventory with lake- and city-view options and family-friendly configurations.

  • 1,205 guestrooms across ~39–40 floors, including City View and Lake View Room types.
  • Room types include Room, Room, City View and multiple accessible options.
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi for guests (some channels report different in-room Wi‑Fi policies).

Pick Marriott Marquis for broad room availability and family-friendly layouts when traveling with groups.

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago – Rooms

Trump International's rooms are fewer in number and focused on deluxe finishes and river or city views.

  • Room list includes Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed, River View and many spa-designated room types.
  • Room amenities called out in supplier listing: minibars, espresso makers, pillowtop beds and designer toiletries.
  • Complimentary wired and wireless internet access is noted in the supplier listing.

Pick Trump International for higher-end room finishes and signature river- or lake-view room options.

Dining & drinks: Corporate variety vs Upscale single-restaurant footprint

Marriott Marquis Chicago – Dining & drinks

Marriott Marquis focuses on multiple dining outlets covering quick, casual and full-service American options.

  • Woven and Bound: two-story American restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • Showroom Food Hall: multiple casual counters (pizza, tacos, wings, coffee and beer/wine).
  • 2121 Pantry for coffee/grab-and-go and in-room dining (A La Carte) available.

Marriott Marquis suits groups and families who want a range of casual and full-service options on-site.

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago – Dining & drinks

Trump International lists Terrace 16 as its main restaurant and a bar/lounge plus 24-hour room service.

  • Terrace 16 provides American cuisine with a bar/lounge; cooked-to-order breakfast is available for a fee.
  • 24-hour room service for in-room dining.
  • Fewer on-site outlets than Marriott Marquis but positioned as upscale.

Choose Trump International if you want a focused, upscale dining setup and in-room dining service.

Pools / signature amenity: Nearby lakefront trails vs On-site spa and pool

Marriott Marquis Chicago – Pools / signature amenity

Marriott Marquis does not have an on-site pool but is near Lake Michigan beaches and the Lakefront Trail.

  • No verified on-site swimming pool according to multiple sources.
  • Lakefront Trail and 31st Street Beach are within walking/biking distance for outdoor water access.
  • Complimentary 24-hour fitness center with Lake Michigan views on the fourth floor.

If an on-site pool matters, Marriott Marquis is not the right pick; it leans on nearby outdoor lake access and a strong fitness center.

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago – Pools / signature amenity

Trump International provides on-site recreational amenities including an indoor pool and a full-service spa.

  • Supplier listing mentions number of indoor pools: 1, plus sauna and steam room.
  • Full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials is available on-site.
  • Fitness facilities are listed among property amenities.

Choose Trump International if you want an on-site pool and a staffed spa.

Wellness & nightlife: Fitness, spa, and after-hours options

Marriott Marquis Chicago – Wellness & nightlife

Marriott Marquis emphasizes a large 24-hour fitness center and multiple casual food-and-drink options rather than a spa or nightlife venue.

  • Complimentary, expansive fitness center open 24 hours with cardio and strength equipment.
  • Showroom Food Hall and bars provide casual evening food and drink options for groups.
  • No verified on-site spa; guests can use nearby day-spa options.

Marriott Marquis is best for guests who want a working-out facility and casual evening dining rather than a hotel spa or bar scene.

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago – Wellness & nightlife

Trump International pairs a full-service spa with more traditional hotel-bar and room-service options.

  • On-site spa services and a hair salon listed among amenities.
  • Number of bars/lounges: 1, plus 24-hour room service for late-night dining.
