Overview
Soaring above the heart of Chicago, on the 27th floor of Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago, The Riu Rooftop is quite a new addition to the city's rooftop scene, inviting to an elevated setting where the vibrant meets the upscale. The chic, well-designed and open-air terrace is a seasonal hot-spot (in full swing from April to November), featuring a sleek bar and a blend of dining tables, cosy fire pit loungers, and bar stools right by the edge.
Views
Close to the sky, here you are surrounded with spectacular panoramic views of the Chicago skyline, with the city’s architectural icons and twinkling lights on full display. While the sweeping vistas are highly impressive, the highlight when it comes to views and photo-ops is the glass balcony, where the dare devils can stand 'on air', 288 feet above the world below.
Food & Drinks
The rooftop menu features an appealing blend of American and Latin flavors with global flair, ideal for both some bites and a shareable dinner. Drink-wise, you can indulge in a well-curated cocktail list, complemented by fresh mocktails, fine spirits, a wide array of beers and wines from all over the world.
