About this hotel
Design-forward hotel inside Jeanne Gang's Aqua Tower — wavy architecture, indoor pool, and a distinctive Loop alternative to plain glass boxes.
Radisson Blu Aqua is the architecture-hotel pick in the Loop: iconic Aqua Tower exterior, solid guest scores, and $239 pricing that undercuts Mag Mile luxury while still feeling special.

Frequently asked questions
What is special about the Aqua Tower?
Jeanne Gang's undulating balconies make Aqua one of Chicago's most photographed modern towers — staying inside is a design-forward alternative to generic high-rises.
How does it compare to Swissôtel?
Both offer strong views. Aqua wins on contemporary architecture identity; Swissôtel is more classic riverfront tower.
Is it walkable to Millennium Park?
Yes — a short walk places you at the park and Michigan Avenue corridor.
