Radisson Blu Aqua Chicago Review
With design savvy inside as well as out, this gem has generously sized rooms and so many amenities and so much outdoor space that it feels like an upscale resort in the heart of downtown. Indoor and outdoor pools, a game room, a movie screening room, a well-equipped fitness center, a padded outdoor running track, and lush landscaping on outdoor terraces are all part of the deal. Location is a winner, too, as it's close to Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue. Eight PCs and a conference room in the business center make this as good a fit for road warriors as it is for families with kids and pets. The lobby-level bar is bright and welcoming, with friendly servers and lots of pizzazz.
