Sleek high-rise hotel with skyline/lake views, spa & renowned restaurant
"Get past the 20-foot letters emblazoned on the building and there’s no denying: This hotel is a stunner. Guests beeline to the wellness trifecta on the 14th-floor that includes a 75-foot swimming pool, an 11-treatment-room spa with sprawling locker rooms, and a serious fitness center wrapped in windows. But even locals come to the 16th-floor rooftop, or step out on the terrace for unparalleled views of the Chicago River and skyline. They're doing it in a more laid back atmosphere now though, as the two Michelin-starred Sixteen was replaced with a more casual option in 2018."

"I describe the Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago as the River North high‑rise at the center of a vaccine controversy after a March 10 event where a group of Black and Latinx restaurant, housekeeping, and other hotel workers received vaccines there; questions arose about whether building management used clout to skip the line, the Trump Organization offered no public comment, and the city says it was unaware of the event. The building is managed by the Trump Organization and houses Terrace on 16 (the space that once housed Michelin‑starred Sixteen) and the Rebar lounge, and its River North location sits near pricey restaurants and real estate." - Ashok Selvam
"The riverside tower served as a focal point for post-election revelry, where locals toasted with the city’s famed bitter liqueur, and it was previously the site from which some local producers, including a notable brewery, pulled their products in protest of past remarks by the building’s namesake." - Naomi Waxman
"Trump International Hotel and Tower laid off nearly 300 workers temporarily, having been on shaky financial ground even before the pandemic." - Ari Bendersky
