RIU, one of the core brands of TUI Hotels & Resorts, is adding the new Riu Plaza Chicago to its portfolio, marking another milestone in its international expansion. With more than 95 hotels in 20 countries, RIU is consolidating its position in the global hotel market and strengthening its presence in the USA.
The new four-star hotel with 390 rooms is located in the heart of Chicago, right in the famous Magnificent Mile shopping district. The strategic location at 150 E Ontario Street offers guests direct access to public transport and provides easy access to Chicago's main attractions such as Millennium Park, Willis Tower and Navy Pier.
The Riu Plaza Chicago impresses with its modern architecture and elegant interior design, which incorporates elements of the Chicago School. The 28-storey building has a fully equipped fitness room, a restaurant and a lobby bar. A special highlight is ‘The Rooftop’ bar on the 27th floor, which opens in September. From here, guests can enjoy a panoramic view of the city while indulging in the classic bar service.
With the opening of the Riu Plaza Chicago, RIU now operates eleven city hotels in major metropolises around the world, including Panama City, Madrid, Berlin, London, Dublin, Miami, San Francisco and two in New York. Further expansions are already being planned, including a new hotel in Toronto and an additional one in New York.
TUI is also focussing on expanding its hotel experiences and plans to increase the TUI Hotels & Resort portfolio from 400 to 600 hotels in the medium term.
