New hotels in Streeterville

Streeterville is the dense residential and hospital district east of North Michigan Avenue's Magnificent Mile, running from the river north toward Navy Pier and Lake Michigan's Ohio Street Beach — a corridor of luxury shopping, Northwestern Memorial Hospital's campus and some of the city's tallest towers. Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago, open since July 2024, is the one hotel we track already open here; Ruby Hotel Chicago, converting a 1920s Streeterville landmark, and EDITION Chicago, planned inside the former John Hancock Center, are both confirmed but not yet dated.

What to do in Streeterville

For a weekend

Walk the Magnificent Mile's shopping corridor in the morning, then head to Navy Pier for the lakefront and the Chicago Children's Museum. Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago's rooftop bar, The Rooftop, is a short walk from both.

For a longer stay

With more time, the Museum of Contemporary Art and Ohio Street Beach sit at Streeterville's northern edge, and The Loop's Millennium Park is a short walk or rideshare south across the river.

Where to stay in Streeterville

The Magnificent Mile's north end

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago opened in July 2024 at 150 East Ontario Street, a newly built 28-story tower on the north end of the Magnificent Mile, within a short walk of Millennium Park, Navy Pier and Willis Tower — RIU's first Chicago property.

The former Inn of Chicago

Ruby Hotel Chicago, confirmed for 2027, is converting the former Inn of Chicago building one block east of Michigan Avenue into a 412-room hotel — German lifestyle brand Ruby's US debut.

875 North Michigan Avenue

EDITION Chicago, with no confirmed opening date, is in advanced talks to take over floors 23 through 34 of the former John Hancock Center, converting roughly 400,000 square feet of vacant office space into a 350-room luxury hotel — though the lease had not yet been finalized as of the most recent reporting.

Travelers waiting on Streeterville's next wave

Ruby Hotel Chicago and EDITION Chicago are both confirmed for the neighborhood — Ruby targeting 2027, EDITION still without a finalized lease — worth checking back as dates firm up.

Travelers wanting a landmark address

EDITION Chicago's site inside the former John Hancock Center, one of the city's most recognizable skyscrapers, would be the neighborhood's most distinctive opening once the lease closes.
