Frequently asked questions

Premier Room, 1 King Bed, River View FAQs

See all FAQs →
What does the Premier Room, 1 King Bed, River View look out on?

As the name says, this room faces the Chicago River. Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown is a 39-story tower at 71 E Wacker Drive, right beside the Chicago Riverwalk, so you wake up to the waterway at the heart of the city. The room is 450 sq. ft. and individually decorated.

How is the bed set up, and who does this room sleep comfortably?

The room has one king bed with a pillowtop mattress, down comforter and hypo-allergenic bedding, and it sleeps 2 guests. That makes it a natural fit for couples or solo travelers. A rollaway/extra bed can be added for a surcharge, and connecting rooms are available if your group needs more space.

What is the bathroom like?

The bathroom is private and has a shower/bathtub combination. It comes with bathrobes, slippers, towels, a hair dryer and free toiletries, so you can unwind after a day out in the Loop.

Is this room a good choice for working or a longer stay?

Yes. The room has a desk and desk chair, free WiFi (25+ Mbps) and free local calls. It also has a refrigerator, a coffee/tea maker, and an iron and ironing board. Housekeeping is provided weekly, and the blackout drapes help you rest after a long day.

What is included with my stay in this room?

A mandatory $32 daily Destination Fee applies. It includes 24/7 fitness center access, basic WiFi for unlimited devices, two bottles of water on arrival and a $10 food and beverage credit at Hoyt's. The fee is waived on the hotel's Government Rate.

Is there a pool or spa, and where can I work out?

The hotel does not have a swimming pool. Guests have a 24/7 fitness center with cardio and strength equipment, including a Peloton bike. You can also jog along the adjacent Chicago Riverwalk.

Where can I eat and drink without leaving the hotel?

Hoyt's Chicago is the on-site restaurant, serving American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, dinner and happy hour, with river views, and it takes reservations. In-room dining from Hoyt's runs from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. The Market Place bar pours local beer, wine, prosecco and cocktails such as the Chicago Mule.

How close is the room to Chicago's main sights?

The hotel sits in the Loop, so most sights are on foot. The Magnificent Mile and the Riverwalk are about 4 minutes away. Cloud Gate is about 5 minutes, and Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago are about 7 minutes. Navy Pier is roughly 15 minutes on foot. The Chicago Architecture Center River Cruise departure point is only about 550-600 ft from the hotel.

How do I get here from the airport, and what are the parking options?

The hotel has no airport shuttle, but the rapid transit system is about one block away. From O'Hare the CTA Blue Line takes roughly 40-55 minutes for a $5 fare. From Midway the Orange Line takes about 30-40 minutes. If you drive, the hotel offers valet parking with three in-and-out privileges overnight. Discounted self-parking is available nearby at 111 E. Wacker and 60 E Lake, and the hotel garage has a height limit of 6'3".

What should I know about check-in, and can I bring a pet?

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. The main guest must be at least 21 and show a photo ID and credit card. Cash is not accepted. Late arrivals as late as 2 AM need to be arranged in advance. The hotel is pet-friendly, with up to two pets per suite and no breed or weight restrictions, for a non-refundable $100 fee per stay.

5. Bookings & confirmation

All reservations are subject to availability and to the rate rules, restrictions, and policies shown at the time of booking. A reservation is confirmed only when you receive a confirmation from us. You are responsible for reviewing the rate rules (including cancellation terms) before you book.

6. Prices, fees, taxes & currency

Prices are shown in the currency indicated and include applicable taxes and fees unless stated otherwise; the total is displayed before you confirm. Our price may include a service fee and may differ from the rate offered directly by the Supplier. Currency conversions, where shown, are estimates. Certain taxes or resort fees may be collected by the Supplier at the property.

7. Cancellations, changes & refunds

Each rate carries its own cancellation policy, shown before you book (for example, non-refundable, or refundable up to a stated deadline). Refund eligibility and timing follow the policy attached to the rate you select. Service fees may be non-refundable. Failure to check in (“no-show”) may result in forfeiture of the amount paid, per the rate rules.

8. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for having valid identification and any required travel documents (such as a passport or visa), and for complying with the Supplier’s policies, including minimum check-in age, occupancy limits, deposits, and identification requirements. You are responsible for the accuracy of all guest information you provide.

9. Suppliers & third-party services

Suppliers are independent third parties. We are not liable for the acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties, or negligence of any Supplier, or for the quality, condition, or safety of the travel services they provide. Any dispute regarding your stay or the services delivered is between you and the Supplier. Supplier terms and policies apply in addition to these Terms.

10. Third-party links

The site may contain links to third-party websites provided for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for those sites, and a link does not imply endorsement. Your use of any linked site is at your own risk and subject to that site’s terms.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BookResorts will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising out of or connected with your use of the site or any booking. If we are found liable, our total liability will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees you paid to BookResorts for the booking at issue, or (b) US$100.

If we are unable to resolve it, any dispute will be handled by the state or federal courts located in California, as set out in Section 17 (either party may still bring qualifying claims in small claims court).

17. Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any permitted court action will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in effect at the time of your booking applies to that booking. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

19. Force majeure

We are not responsible for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disasters, pandemics, strikes, government actions, or Supplier closures.

20. Miscellaneous

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the site.
