Where the Chicago River meets Lake Michigan, The St. Regis Chicago pairs Jeanne Gang’s striking architecture with panoramic rooms, Chicago’s only Forbes Five-Star spa and destination dining at Miru and Tre Dita.
The St. Regis Chicago occupies a dramatic waterfront position in Jeanne Gang’s landmark tower where the Chicago River reaches Lake Michigan. Navy Pier, the Riverwalk, Millennium Park and the Magnificent Mile are all within easy reach, while Lakeshore East functions almost like the hotel’s private backyard.
Rooms and suites use floor-to-ceiling glass to frame the river, lake and skyline from constantly changing angles. Larger suites become true residences, with the two-bedroom Presidential Suite expanding to roughly 4,600 square feet and St. Regis Butler Service available in suite categories.
The wellness floor is one of the strongest in the city. The St. Regis Spa is currently Chicago’s only Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star spa, joined by an indoor pool, athletic club, private training rooms and a new Pilates Reformer studio.
Miru serves Japanese-inspired cooking from the 11th floor with two outdoor terraces, while Evan Funke’s Tre Dita focuses on Tuscan pasta and wood-fired cooking. Together they make the hotel a dining destination even for Chicago residents.
The St. Regis Chicago is best for travelers who want contemporary architecture and wellness rather than old-school Magnificent Mile glamour. The river-and-lake position gives almost every part of the hotel a cinematic sense of place.
