The RIVVY, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel by Marriott

The RIVVY debuts in Chicago’s River North

The RIVVY, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel by Marriott, debuted  today  at the site of the former Hotel 55, bringing a new boutique hospitality experience to Chicago’s River North neighborhood. Managed by Coury Hospitality, the 297-room hotel will combine the individuality and character of an independent hotel with the benefits of Marriott Bonvoy and Tribute Portfolio.

Located at 55 E. Ontario St., steps from Michigan Avenue and near the Chicago Riverwalk, The RIVVY will offer 8,187 square feet of meeting and event space across eight event rooms, along with Lure Fishbar, the acclaimed seafood restaurant on the hotel’s first floor. Through thoughtful hospitality, memorable dining and engaging programming, The RIVVY Hotel will connect guests to the energy of River North.

A New Identity for a New Generation of Travelers
The RIVVY marks a new chapter for the River North property, pairing the personality of an independent boutique hotel with the global reach and benefits of Marriott Bonvoy’s Tribute Portfolio. Its identity draws inspiration from the energy outside its doors, where restaurants, galleries, nightlife, architecture and some of Chicago’s best-known destinations come together.

Inside, refreshed public spaces will bring that energy into the hotel through layered artwork, residential-inspired furnishings and inviting spaces for lounging, working and gathering. Statement pieces, rich textures and comfortable seating will create an environment that feels collected and distinctly Chicago rather than conventional.

The result is a polished, approachable hotel with a strong sense of place and a personality distinctly its own.

Inspired by Chicago
At The RIVVY, Chicago becomes part of the stay. Its River North location places guests within blocks of the Magnificent Mile and near the Chicago Riverwalk, with Millennium Park, Navy Pier and neighborhoods throughout the city easily accessible. The Grand Red Line station, less than a five-minute walk from the hotel, makes exploring beyond downtown simple.

Just outside the hotel, guests will find some of Chicago’s celebrated dining, architecture, galleries, shopping and nightlife. Inside, a rotating calendar of programming will give travelers and locals new reasons to gather and experience the neighborhood together.

Experiences will range from social and cultural events such as The Lucky Tile Classic mahjong tournament and Día de los Muertos-inspired art workshops to wellness programming including Seasonal Reset Yoga. The evolving calendar will bring local interests and experiences into The RIVVY, creating new reasons for guests and Chicagoans to return throughout the year.

A Stay That Extends Beyond the Guestroom
The RIVVY’s guestrooms and suites offer an airy, contemporary retreat from the energy of downtown Chicago. Clean-lined furnishings, curated artwork and a sophisticated neutral palette create a polished residential feel, complemented by plush bedding, comfortable lounge and work spaces, and Salt & Stone bath amenities. Beyond the guestrooms, guests will have access to a modern fitness center designed to support their routines while traveling.

Spaces Designed to Gather
The RIVVY will offer eight flexible event rooms encompassing 8,187 square feet for corporate meetings, weddings, receptions and social gatherings. Accommodating events of up to 250 guests, the collection will range from intimate boardroom settings to larger spaces, with select rooms featuring natural light and city views. Food and beverage experiences from Lure Fishbar will extend the restaurant’s culinary program into meetings and private events.

Lure Fishbar Anchors The RIVVY  Hotel’s Dining Experience
Located on the hotel’s first floor, Lure Fishbar will continue as The RIVVY’s signature dining destination and a draw for guests and Chicagoans alike. Known for fresh seafood, a celebrated raw bar and prime steaks, Lure brings an established dining experience to the hotel, from cocktails and date nights to business dinners and private gatherings.
