Fantastic experience as first-time visitors to Chicago: friendly & helpful staff, cute rooms, fabulous rooftop (bar), overall aesthetics, proximity to so many great activities, and so much more. We’re definitely going back to RIU the next time we go to Chicago. And last but not least…that Breakfast Buffet?! The BREAKFAST BUFFET WAS EVERYTHING!

Without a doubt, the view of the pier and city skyline was the BEST part of this hotel experience. The room was pretty large and had a great sitting area to read, gaze at the water, people watch, and relax. The hotel staff was nice and helpful. Everything I needed and wanted to do for this trip was at the Navy Pier so the Sable Hotel checked all my boxes.
