The Monaco Chicago deserves every one of its four stars. Rated one of the 40 best hotels in the U.S. on the Travel Channel, the hotel looks out on the Chicago River.  You’ll be within walking distance of the Loop, North Michigan Avenue and State Street shopping and one of Chicago’s favorite new natural places, Millennium Park.

At South Water Kitchen, adjacent to the hotel, we've created a refreshingly atypical American restaurant. Both guests and locals return again and again for Chef Chris Lateano’s daily specials, such as Grilled Iowa pork loin with local peaches.

Like all Kimpton Hotels, the Hotel Monaco designs guestrooms that sink you into the lap of luxury. Plush fabrics in rich colors set the stage for your stay. You'll enjoy the juxtaposition of patterns, shapes and colors that create a sense of whimsy, like geometrically-tufted headboards.

The decor of all 192 guestrooms and 22 suites is playful and sophisticated. Whether you are traveling for business or leisure, you'll enjoy luxurious amenities and a cozy environment that'll give you a warm welcome each time you return.
