  • Within a few minutes’ walk of Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue.
  • Convenient for Grant Park and several cultural venues nearby.
  • Preferred airport listed as O'Hare (ORD); multiple airport options nearby.

Pick Radisson Blu Aqua if you want a modern tower stay with easy access to parks and the Riverwalk.

Rooms: LondonHouse (historic suites) vs Radisson Blu Aqua (design tower rooms)

LondonHouse Chicago – Rooms

LondonHouse has 452 rooms in a mix of historic 1923 architecture and a 22-story glass tower, including multiple suite types and specialty wellness rooms.

  • Room types include River View, Studio Corner, King Peloton Wellness rooms and suites up to a Presidential Suite.
  • Free in-room and lobby WiFi; premium faster tier available for a fee.
  • Valet parking only; destination charge applies with bundled credits.

LondonHouse offers variety and a historic setting with some wellness-focused room options.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago – Rooms

Radisson Blu Aqua offers 334 air-conditioned rooms in a contemporary tower with standard in-room conveniences.

  • Rooms include minibars, LCD/satellite TVs, private bathrooms with designer toiletries and laptop-compatible safes.
  • 334 rooms total; room service is available during limited hours.
  • Breakfast is available for a surcharge; self or valet parking available for a fee.

Radisson Blu Aqua provides modern guest rooms with typical upscale hotel amenities and clear attention to conference guest needs.

Dining & drinks: rooftop social vs single signature house restaurant

LondonHouse Chicago – Dining & drinks

LondonHouse emphasizes multiple on-site venues and a prominent rooftop bar spanning three levels.

  • LH Rooftop is a tri-level rooftop bar with indoor lounge, outdoor terrace and a domed 23rd-floor Cupola (open daily 11:00 AM–12:00 AM).
  • LH on 21 is a contemporary American restaurant for lunch and dinner; Bridges Lobby Bar overlooks the river and offers afternoon tea.
  • Daily destination charge includes a $10 daily F&B credit redeemable at hotel bars/restaurants.

LondonHouse is the better choice for rooftop cocktails, afternoon tea and multiple on-site dining options.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago – Dining & drinks

Radisson Blu Aqua lists FireLake as its on-site restaurant with a bar/lounge and limited room service.

  • FireLake serves as the main on-site restaurant and bar/lounge.
  • Full breakfasts are available for a surcharge (weekday and weekend hours noted).
  • Room service offered during limited hours; F&B fees may apply separately.

Radisson Blu Aqua suits travelers who prefer a quieter hotel dining setup anchored by a single signature restaurant.

Pools & signature amenity: rooftop vs pools

LondonHouse Chicago – Pools & signature amenity

LondonHouse does not have an on-site swimming pool; its signature amenity is the tri-level rooftop and riverfront location.

  • No on-site pool — guests use the rooftop, riverwalk and nearby lakefront for waterside experiences.
  • Rooftop includes indoor and outdoor spaces plus the Cupola for skyline views.
  • Heated rooftop igloos and seasonal rooftop activations have been offered in winter months.

If an on-site pool is a must, LondonHouse is not the right choice — it trades pools for rooftop and riverfront experiences.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago – Pools & signature amenity

Radisson Blu Aqua features both an indoor pool and an outdoor seasonal pool (open June–September).

  • Indoor pool available year-round and an outdoor seasonal pool open in summer months.
  • Pool access hours and seasonality are published; outdoor pool access listed from June to September.
  • Pool amenities include sun loungers and complimentary pool cabanas (per supplier listing).

Radisson Blu Aqua is the clear choice for travelers who want on-site pool time during summer or access to an indoor pool year-round.

Wellness & nightlife: spa and fitness versus meeting-friendly late-night options

LondonHouse Chicago – Wellness & nightlife

LondonHouse pairs a full-service spa with a 24-hour fitness center and an active rooftop nightlife scene.

  • LH Spa by Windy City Massage on the 4th floor offers multiple treatment rooms and a variety of massage and facial services; spa hours are published.
  • Fitness center is open 24 hours with TechnoGym equipment, rowing machine, spinning cycles and a yoga station.
  • Rooftop nightlife is a major draw; rooftop has a 21+ entry policy in the evenings.

Choose LondonHouse for a stronger spa program plus all-hours gym access and elevated nightlife on the rooftop.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago – Wellness & nightlife

Radisson Blu Aqua emphasizes fitness and meeting-friendly services alongside quieter dining and pool access.

  • 24-hour fitness facilities and wellness-minded guest services are listed.
  • Large conference and meeting footprint supports corporate and group events.
  • Nightlife is quieter on-site; the hotel has a bar/lounge but no multi-level rooftop entertainment like LondonHouse.

Radisson Blu Aqua fits travelers prioritizing fitness, business facilities and on-site pools rather than an active rooftop scene.
