The future Riu Plaza Chicago will have a breathtaking rooftop terrace
The
details of the hotel chain’s new major project in the United States are
starting to come to light. One of the most eye-catching features is the
future sky bar on floor 26, where guests will be able to enjoy spectacular
views of the city. As seen in the recently presented images, the terrace will
also have a head-spinning focal point: a glass balcony hanging 88 metres above
the ground. The bravest visitors will be able to enjoy views of the heart of
the city from this transparent balcony, which will allow them to see everything
going on beneath their feet.
The future hotel,
which is set to open its doors in 2024 with a 4-star rating, will be located at
150 East Ontario Street in the Streeterville neighbourhood, near the popular
shopping zone known as the Magnificent Mile and close to the famous Navy Pier, with
the Chicago River to the south and Lake Michigan to the east. With 390 rooms,
the Riu Plaza Chicago will join RIU’s
existing portfolio in the country, where it already has Riu Plaza hotels in
Miami, San Francisco and New York.
