Location: River views vs Aqua-Tower design

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago – Location

Trump sits on the Chicago River where the Magnificent Mile meets the riverwalk, an easy walk to shops and architecture cruises.

  • Direct riverfront location and short walk to the Magnificent Mile and Millennium Park
  • Close to the Chicago Riverwalk and many architectural cruise departures
  • Easy walking access to downtown attractions and luxury shopping

Choose Trump if you want riverfront views and immediate access to the Riverwalk and Magnificent Mile.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago – Location

Radisson Blu Aqua occupies the Aqua Tower near Grant Park and Michigan Avenue, a short walk to Millennium Park.

  • Centrally located — within a 5-minute walk of Grant Park and Michigan Avenue
  • Close to Millennium Park, Maggie Daley Park, and the Riverwalk
  • Good access to lakefront attractions and downtown walking routes

Choose Radisson Blu Aqua for a central lakefront-area location with easy pedestrian access to parks and museums.

Rooms: Suites and views

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago – Rooms

Trump has 339 rooms and suites, including multiple river- and lake-view suites and large one- and two-bedroom configurations.

  • Room types include Deluxe Rooms, Executive Rooms, and a range of one- and two-bedroom suites
  • Rooms include minibars and espresso makers, complimentary Wi‑Fi (premium available)
  • Many rooms offer skyline, river, or lake views

Trump is the pick for larger suites and rooms with dramatic river and skyline views.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago – Rooms

Radisson Blu Aqua offers 334 air-conditioned rooms with standard lifestyle-hotel amenities.

  • Rooms feature minibars, LCD/satellite TVs, designer toiletries and laptop-compatible safes
  • Conveniences include desks and free local phone calls
  • Guestroom specifics (named types) are not published in the supplier listing

Radisson Blu Aqua is a solid, design-focused option with full in-room conveniences; check room details when booking for view preferences.

Dining & drinks: Fine dining and river terraces vs a single signature restaurant

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago – Dining & drinks

Trump offers Terrace 16 — a seasonal New American restaurant and large outdoor terrace — plus Rebar, a riverside bar and lounge.

  • Terrace 16 serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a large outdoor patio (reservations recommended)
  • Rebar offers Neo-Japanese fare, cocktails and DJ nights on weekends
  • Private dining and experiential tasting options available by reservation

Pick Trump for more formal dining options, riverfront cocktails, and an expansive terrace.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago – Dining & drinks

Radisson Blu Aqua has one main restaurant (FireLake) and a bar/lounge; breakfast is available for a surcharge.

  • FireLake serves as the on-site restaurant with bar/lounge seating
  • Breakfast is available for a fee and room service runs during limited hours
  • A single restaurant and bar setup means fewer on-site dining choices compared with Trump

Radisson Blu Aqua is fine for convenient on-site dining but expect a smaller selection than Trump.

Pools & signature amenity: Spa & long heated pool vs indoor + seasonal pools

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago – Pools & signature amenity

Trump’s signature amenity is its 23,000 sq ft spa and a 75-foot heated indoor pool with city and river views.

  • The Spa at Trump includes treatment rooms, eucalyptus steam room, dry sauna and 24-hour fitness club
  • 75-foot heated indoor swimming pool on the spa floor (open daily 6:00am–10:00pm)
  • Spa treatments must be booked and are available at additional cost

If a destination spa and a large indoor heated pool matter, Trump is the stronger choice.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago – Pools & signature amenity

Radisson Blu Aqua provides an indoor pool plus a seasonal outdoor pool (seasonal pool open June–September).

  • Indoor pool available year-round
  • Seasonal outdoor pool open June–September with pool hours listed in the property policies
  • Pool access and specific wellness services beyond pools are not heavily detailed in the supplier listing

Radisson Blu Aqua suits travelers who want hotel pools with the option of an outdoor seasonal pool in summer months.

Wellness & nightlife: Full-service spa and club facilities vs fitness-forward lifestyle offering

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago – Wellness & nightlife

Trump combines a full-service spa, 24-hour fitness club, and late-night bar/lounge entertainment at Rebar.

  • The Spa at Trump offers a broad treatment menu and booking options; fitness club open 24 hours
  • Rebar offers late-night DJ entertainment on weekends
  • Spa facilities include locker rooms, steam room, sauna and a relaxation lounge

Trump is better for guests seeking spa treatments plus nightlife-style evenings at an on-site lounge.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago – Wellness & nightlife

Radisson Blu Aqua emphasizes fitness facilities and a design-led guest experience with a 24-hour business center and meeting support.

  • 24-hour fitness facilities and a 24-hour business center are on site
  • The property lists wedding and conference services; nightlife and spa offerings are more limited in the listing
  • Accessible features and multilingual staff are widely documented

Radisson Blu Aqua fits travelers who want a modern hotel with fitness facilities and a central location for daytime sightseeing.
