Aloft Chicago Downtown River North - A pet-friendly River North hotel with on-site dining and flexible meeting spaces

Located in the trendy River North neighborhood, Aloft Chicago Downtown River North stands three blocks from the Magnificent Mile's shopping district. This Chicago hotel features rooms equipped with 42-inch flat-screen TVs, laptop-friendly workspaces, free WiFi, and soundproof walls. The property houses Beatrix restaurant, serving house-made pastas and vegan options, plus a Coffee & Pastry Counter offering fresh-baked goods. The W XYZ Bar provides hand-crafted cocktails and includes a pool table in its loft-inspired space. Five flexible meeting rooms accommodate events for up to 200 people in The River Room. A 24/7 business center offers three computer stations with internet access, while a modern fitness center caters to active guests. The property's location puts guests within 1 mile of Millennium Park, Navy Pier, and The Art Institute of Chicago.

Pros

LEED-certified sustainable building

Pet-friendly accommodations with complimentary dog beds, bowls, and treats

Three top-rated local restaurants (Beatrix, Ema, Zombie Taco) available for event catering

Steps away from popular venues like Three Dots and a Dash tiki lounge

Cons

The lobby can get busy and loud during live music events

Some attractions like Lincoln Park Zoo and Shedd Aquarium require transportation (3-2 miles away)

“This River North spot has a lot going for it, especially its urban location near nightlife and key attractions. I noticed several comments about noise issues on upper floors during weekends, plus concerns about service inconsistencies. For travelers who prioritize location and modern design, and don't mind potential disruptions, it remains a reasonable option.”
