Location: Riverwalk vs Michigan Avenue

Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk – Location

Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk sits directly on the Chicago Riverwalk in Streeterville/River North.

  • Immediate access to the Chicago Riverwalk and riverboat architecture tours.
  • Short walk to the Magnificent Mile, Millennium Park, and Navy Pier.
  • Address: 301 E North Water St, Chicago, IL 60611.

Choose the Sheraton for direct Riverwalk access and easy water-based excursions.

Park Hyatt Chicago – Location

Park Hyatt Chicago is located on North Michigan Avenue steps from the Chicago Water Tower and high-end shops.

  • Steps from Michigan Avenue and Water Tower Place.
  • About 0.6 mi (1 km) from the Chicago Riverwalk and close to Museum of Contemporary Art.
  • Address: 800 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611.

Pick Park Hyatt for a prime Magnificent Mile location and shopping-access convenience.

Rooms: scale and style

Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk – Rooms

Sheraton offers a large number of room types suitable for groups, families, and business travelers.

  • 1,218 guest rooms across 34 floors, including multiple suites and club-level rooms with lounge access.
  • Room categories include River View, Lake View, Skyline View, suites, and Club Lounge options.
  • Smoke-free property with rollaway bed option (fee) and standard in-room amenities.

If you need many room options or rooms for large groups, Sheraton’s scale is a practical advantage.

Park Hyatt Chicago – Rooms

Park Hyatt offers fewer rooms with five-star finishes and a suite collection that includes lake- and tower-view options.

  • 182 guestrooms with a range of city, lake, and Water Tower views and multiple named suites (Lake Michigan Suite, Water Tower Suite, etc.).
  • Rooms feature minibars, espresso makers, premium bedding, and 65-inch TVs per the supplier listing.
  • Smaller, more intimate room inventory compared with the Sheraton.

Pick Park Hyatt for a quieter, higher-end room experience in a boutique five-star setting.

Dining & drinks: broad choices vs focused fine dining

Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk – Dining & drinks

Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk provides a wide set of on-site restaurants and casual outlets for groups and families.

  • Shula's Steak House for evening fine dining and a smart-casual dress code.
  • Riverside Café for breakfast/lunch/brunch with river views, plus Link Café for quick coffee and LB’s Bistro for pastries.
  • Seasonal Chicago Burger Company along the Riverwalk and CHI Bar for relaxed evening drinks.

Sheraton suits guests who want varied on-site dining and casual-to-formal options without leaving the property.

Park Hyatt Chicago – Dining & drinks

Park Hyatt focuses on a smaller number of high-end outlets and a signature restaurant experience.

  • NoMI Kitchen is the hotel’s main restaurant with cooked-to-order breakfasts available for a surcharge.
  • Bar/lounge for drinks and a single, focused dining program rather than multiple casual outlets.
  • In-hotel dining emphasizes refined, hotel-led culinary service rather than many casual concepts.

Choose Park Hyatt if you prefer boutique-luxury dining on Michigan Avenue rather than a large mix of on-site casual options.

Pools or signature amenity

Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk – Pools or signature amenity

Sheraton has an indoor heated pool on the 7th floor with views of downtown and Lake Michigan.

  • Single indoor heated pool open daily with towels provided.
  • Pool is paired with a two-story fitness center and dry sauna on the same floor.
  • Pool hours are published (hotel sources list 7:00 AM–10:00 PM, though some aggregators list 6:00 AM–10:00 PM).

Good for guests who want an indoor swim option that pairs with a large fitness facility and city views.

Park Hyatt Chicago – Pools or signature amenity

Park Hyatt lists one indoor pool and also highlights a full-service spa as a major amenity.

  • Indoor pool plus hot tub and sauna included among wellness facilities.
  • Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments, and facials (reservations required for treatments).
  • Fitness center available 24 hours per the supplier listing.

Park Hyatt is the better pick if a dedicated spa and a smaller-luxury pool environment matter to you.

Wellness & nightlife

Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk – Wellness & nightlife

Sheraton’s wellness offering centers on a substantial fitness center and sauna, with casual bar options onsite.

  • Two-story Sheraton Fitness Center with Peloton bikes and Life Fitness equipment, complimentary for guests.

Park Hyatt emphasizes spa treatments and quieter, upscale evening options on Michigan Avenue.

  • Full-service spa (massage, facials, body treatments) with reservation needed for treatments.
  • Bar/lounge and refined on-site dining for evening drinks rather than late-night bar scene.
  • 24-hour business center and limo/town car service for convenience.

Park Hyatt suits travelers seeking spa-focused downtime and a calm, upscale evening environment.
