RIU Plaza Hotel

W.E. O’Neil is building Chicago’s newest hotel, a four-star, 28-story tower just off Michigan Avenue in the Streeterville neighborhood. Developed by The Prime Group, this stately hotel will be one of only a few locations in the United States for the Spanish hotel brand RIU Hotels and Resorts.

Rising 345 feet, the base of the tower will span two floors with 23 floors of guest rooms above. Catering to both business and leisure guests, the resort will have 390 guestrooms, a sky bar, one level below grade, and a ground-level bar at the southeast corner of the tower base.

Designed by renowned Lucien LaGrange Studio at the Lamar Johnson Collaborative, the classically styled structure is distinctive from most other new buildings in Chicago. Its unique material palette includes a mix of painted architectural concrete and aluminum-framed windows, rather than the more typical brick or glass curtain wall facades. This classic Chicago School architectural style facade will complement the building’s modern and functional interior.

After providing preconstruction services, we are now in construction on this exciting project.
