Chicago's River North: World-Class Art Galleries, Restaurants, and Nightlife near Downtown

Bordering the Loop on the northern side of the Chicago River, the River North neighborhood is where the skyscrapers of downtown give way to the award-winning restaurants and trendy nightspots of the North Side. Once an industrial area, River North is today home to architectural gems—the Jenga-like Contemporaine residential building on Wells Street is a good example—as well as eateries to suit every appetite and budget.

In addition to a formidable culinary presence ranging from inventive Peruvian cuisine at Tanta Restaurant to Chicago classics such as Portillo's, River North boasts the country's largest concentration of art galleries outside of Manhattan. The River North Gallery District runs along Chicago, Superior, and Huron Streets, occupying century-old red-brick warehouses that have been converted into lofts and exhibition spaces. You can easily travel beyond River North using Chicago's public transportation system; check out our guide to Chicago public transportation for tips on navigating the city like a local.

Great hotel, great service Beautiful hotel in great location. Excellent service, particularly Hugo and Valeria at the front desk. The rooms are comfortable, the rooftop bar is nice, and everything was clean and well kept. I certainly would stay again on another trip to Chicago!

Severely disappointed Very underwhelmed by our stay here. There were a lot of contributing factors ranging from a very lackluster check-in experience, and lobby all the way up to our room and overall experience. Check-in wasn’t bad by any means but there was no one else checking in or waiting to be received by the attendant, and they really gave a “meh” impression. I don’t expect a red carpet roll out but if I can get a better experience from a Best Western, that’s kind of a problem. We proceeded up to our room which was a king suite, and it was… bland. Mismatched furniture with no theme. End table was damaged and unsightly, and there were no conveniently located outlets for device charging. Another weird thing I have never seen before was a separation between the mattress and wall mounted headboard. Pillows were incredibly uncomfortable and the bed made a thunderous crack sound when I first laid down, weighing all of 150lbs. The worst offense regarding the stay itself was how dry the hotel was. Both my partner and I woke up at about 6am with super dry nasal passages and sore throats, which for me personally lingered a few days. Service at the rooftop bar wasn’t much better. Sat at the bar on a Monday with 2 people behind and a few servers and took over 5 minutes to even be greeted. Once greeted we did place a cocktail order that was prompt but the lack of attention compared to other patrons, virtually none, was disappointing. For a hotel that bills itself as upscale I was severely let down. I have had better suites at places like Double Tree, and better service from significantly lesser billed establishments. I’m sure our experience varies from others but we will not return, and I can’t in good conscious recommend The Godfrey.

Amazing guest service had a wonderful stay at The Godfrey, and I have to give a special shoutout to Valeria and Hugo for making my experience truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, they were both incredibly welcoming, ensuring I felt right at home. They went above and beyond to accommodate my needs, offering exceptional service with a warm and friendly attitude that made my stay even more enjoyable. The hotel itself is fantastic, but Valeria and Hugo’s dedication and attentiveness really set the bar high. Their efforts truly made a difference in making my time at The Godfrey comfortable and memorable. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to staying again soon!”
