ST. PATRICK’S DAY RIVER DYEING VIEWING PARTY

Celebrate Chicago’s most iconic St. Patrick’s Day tradition from above at The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown.

Rise to our Penthouse level—39 stories in the sky—for a true front-row seat to the Chicago River Dyeing, with panoramic views stretching along both the State Street and Michigan Avenue sides of the river. This elevated vantage point sets the scene for a festive morning, complete with a live DJ, access to the outdoor terrace and a lively brunch buffet paired with an open bar featuring spirits, wine, green beer and Irish-inspired cocktails.

High above the crowds, it’s the ultimate way to watch the river turn green—stylish, spirited and unmistakably Chicago.

Kick things off with mimosas, Irish coffee, pastries and morning bites.

10:00am–1:00pm
Settle in for a full brunch spread highlighting Irish specialties and crowd favorites. The bar will remain open through 1:00pm.
