Best rooms, ranked: choose the right room or suite
Choose a room based on view and space: pick Deluxe Room, City View for a large, well-located guest room with skyline outlook, Executive Room, Lake View if you want direct lake/clock-tower views, and one of the Deluxe Suite, 1 Bedroom (City/Lake/River View) or Grand Deluxe Lake View Two Bedroom Suite when you need separate living space. If spa access or a quiet stay matters, consider Deluxe Room (Spa Grand) or Executive Room (Spa) for proximity to The Spa at Trump.

Best value for skyline views: Deluxe Room, City View
Deluxe Room, City View is listed as a 603 sq. ft. guest room option that can sleep up to 4 Guests and is offered with 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds. It pairs generous square footage with floor-to-ceiling city outlooks, making it a solid choice if you want the downtown skyline without booking a suite.
These rooms include in-room amenities the hotel advertises across its inventory (minibar, espresso maker, complimentary Wi‑Fi in standard service). For straightforward stays focused on location and view, the Deluxe Room, City View balances size and cost.
- Room name: Deluxe Room, City View
- Capacity: 4 Guests; bed options: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds
- Why choose it: large standard room with skyline views and flexible bedding
| Feature | What to expect |
|---|---|
| View | City skyline / River North |
| Size | 603 sq. ft. (listed) |
| Bedding | 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds |
Best for lake and landmark views: Executive Room, Lake View
Executive Room, Lake View is the room to pick when you want closer views toward Lake Michigan and the nearby clock-tower landmark visible from some rooms. The hotel markets Executive Room, Lake View separately from city-view rooms, highlighting the different sightlines.
Executive rooms often sit higher in the building and can feel quieter than busy river-level views; choose this if you prioritize the lake/clock-tower outlook over a river-facing orientation.
- Room name: Executive Room, Lake View
- Why choose it: lake/clock-tower sightlines instead of more central river-facing views
- Good for: quieter vistas and photogenic landmark views
| Consideration | Tip |
|---|---|
| If you want sunrise over lake | Ask for a north/east-facing Executive Room, Lake View |
| If you want nightlife noise reduced | Higher-floor lake views are often quieter |
| If you want extra space | Book a suite instead of a standard Executive Room |
Best for families or longer stays: Deluxe Suite, 1 Bedroom (City View / River View / Lake View) and Grand Deluxe Lake View Two Bedroom Suite
Deluxe Suite, 1 Bedroom (City View), Deluxe Suite, 1 Bedroom, River View, and Deluxe Suite, 1 Bedroom, Lake View give you separate living and sleeping areas — useful for parents with kids or travelers who need workspace and a lounge area. The Grand Deluxe Lake View Two Bedroom Suite is the largest suite option listed (two King Beds) for multi-adult travel or family groups.
Suites include the same in-room basics the hotel lists across its inventory (minibars, espresso makers, complimentary Wi‑Fi) but add living/dining space and larger bathrooms. If you plan to use the room as a base for multi-day activity, a suite reduces dependence on public spaces for relaxation or working.

Choosing between river, city, and lake views: quick checklist
Which view matters most will drive the right room name to pick. River-facing rooms put you closest to the Chicago River and Rebar; city-facing rooms give broader downtown skyline scenes; lake-facing rooms focus on Lake Michigan and the clock-tower landmarks.
When booking, ask the reservation agent to confirm the specific view for the room you choose — the room type names (City View, River View, Lake View) indicate the intended sightline but not the exact floor or angle.
- If you want river/bridge views: choose rooms with 'River View' in the name (e.g., Deluxe Suite, 1 Bedroom, River View).
- If you prefer skyline photos: choose 'City View' rooms (e.g., Deluxe Room, City View).
- If you want lake/clock-tower views: choose 'Lake View' rooms (e.g., Executive Room, Lake View or Deluxe Suite, 1 Bedroom, Lake View).
- Confirm floor and direction at booking to avoid surprises
