The Westin Chicago River North, owned by Host Hotels & Resorts, has completed an extensive renovation that resulted in the transformation of its 429 guestrooms and 20th floor Executive Club Lounge. The Westin Chicago River North is one of the brand’s first hotels to offer the new Westin Generation IV room design, which creates a modern-day oasis from the rigours of travel with a soothing colour palate and a variety of natural design touches. In addition to spectacular city views, the guest rooms and suites boast fresh new carpeting and wallpaper; photography that captures the essence of Chicago; more flexible, adaptive furniture for better flow; and the world-renowned Westin Heavenly® Bed – with lush sheets, down cushioning and a patented pillow-top mattress which cradles and contours to the body for complete comfort. In the hotel’s renovated bathrooms, guests will enjoy the Heavenly® Bath, enhanced with the brand’s Heavenly® Shower, Heavenly® Robe and White Tea Aloe bath amenities. Additional amenities include in-room, high-speed Internet access and 42” flat screen televisions.
The hotel is also proud to announce the introduction of a new unique amenity, the Treadmill Desk. This sit-stand-walk workstation is being piloted in a guest room on-property, allowing travellers more opportunities to move and work well, while aligning with the Westin brand’s commitment to enhance the overall wellbeing of its guests.
The newly refurbished 20th floor Executive Club Lounge is the perfect spot to enjoy breathtaking views of the Chicago River and the city skyline, as well as complimentary breakfast, hors d’oeuvres and beverages.
