Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want Chicago's highest-rated five-star option in our sample and the price is not your main concern. Skip it if value matters, because it costs more than twice as much as our other two Chicago picks.

This is a hotel for travellers who put service and location first and have the budget to match. It scores 9.4 out of 10 from 1,145 guest reviews, with a location score of 9.8. Couples on a special trip and business travellers with generous expense limits are the obvious fit.
Families can consider it too, since the property lists family rooms and a pool. It is also tagged as pet friendly, but pet rules and fees are not confirmed.
If you mostly plan to sleep and head out early, the premium is hard to justify. Our Best Value pick scored 9.1 at well under half the price.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits at 401 North Wabash Avenue in the Near North Side. Guests describe the setting as central, on the river, and close to shopping, dining and major attractions.
Distances from the data, as straight-line walking estimates: Two Prudential Plaza is about 0.5 km away, roughly 6 minutes. Millennium Park is about 0.8 km, around 10 minutes. Willis Tower is 1.4 km, close to 18 minutes on foot.
All three are walkable, so for the central sights you may not need transport at all. These times have not been verified on the ground, and Chicago winters can make even short walks feel longer in November.
What guests say
Praise centres on the staff, who come across as friendly and attentive, offering a warm welcome and efficient service. The riverside location is the other recurring positive.
The complaint is about extras rather than the stay itself. Guests rate the experience highly but find parking and minibar items expensive. If you are driving, budget for parking on top of the room rate.
Price and how it compares with our other Chicago picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €553.66 per night, about €1,107 for both nights. Treat this as a reference, not a live quote, and check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Riu Plaza Chicago, was €216.64 a night with a score of 9.1. Our Budget pick, Club Quarters Hotel Central Loop, Chicago, came in at €244.33 with a score of 8.2. In Chicago at those dates the budget option was actually pricier than the best value one, so check both.
What the extra spend buys, according to the property listing: a spa and wellness centre, a pool, a gym, a restaurant, a terrace, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Breakfast styles listed include continental, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher and American. Opening times and fees for these facilities are not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 20 eligible hotels in Chicago. This one shared the top review score in the sample and holds an official five-star rating, which gives it priority for our Luxury slot.
It is a pick for quality, not for value. Its reference price sits far above the sample median of about €214 a night, and we say so plainly.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check what your rate includes and how flexible it is, since at this price a non-refundable booking is a real commitment.
If you need parking, ask for the current charge. If you plan to use the spa or pool, confirm access and any fees for your dates.
