Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago) is a 98-storey mixed-use skyscraper on the north bank of the Chicago River in the River North/Streeterville area. Construction completed in 2009 and it is one of the tallest buildings in Chicago at about 423 metres to the tip.

The tower contains a combination of a hotel, residential condominiums and retail space across its footprint; many visitors view the building from the riverwalk, Wacker Drive and nearby bridges to appreciate its height and riverside location. It rises directly from the riverfront and has stepped, reflective façades that are noticeable in the downtown skyline.

The building was developed by the Trump Organization and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. It replaced low-rise riverfront structures and became a prominent element of the north bank skyline when completed in the late 2000s.

The tower sits at 401 North Wabash Avenue beside the Chicago River, within walking distance of the Magnificent Mile and downtown Chicago. The location places it a short drive or transit ride from Chicago O’Hare and Midway airports and from central Loop attractions.

• Public access: There is no public observation deck; upper floors are private residences and hotel spaces so skyline views are best from the riverwalk or nearby bridges.

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago (401 N Wabash Ave) is in downtown Chicago along the Chicago River. The closest elevated station is Washington/Wabash (served by the Brown, Green, Orange, Pink and Purple Lines), about a 3-5 minute walk; the Red Line’s Grand station is a roughly 8-10 minute walk. The site is easily reached on foot from Millennium Park and the Loop.

• See the building from the Chicago River by taking an architecture boat tour-the tower's reflective façade and riverside position are best appreciated from the water.
• Visit on weekday mornings to avoid waterfront and riverwalk crowds; photographers get clearer shots of the façade and its reflections before lunchtime foot traffic rises.
• If you want access beyond exterior views, plan around hotel public areas and confirm any lobby access policies in advance-the tower is primarily private residences and hotel space, so public interior access can be limited.
