Where to stay in Chicago
Best hotels in Chicago:
-
Kimpton Gray Hotel (luxury hotel)
The Kimpton Gray Hotel is a stylish spot right in the heart of Chicago's Loop. A historic building but has a totally modern vibe inside. The rooms are spacious and well-designed, with cool details like marble bathrooms and library-inspired decor.
One of the best things about the Gray is its location - you're just steps from Michigan Avenue shopping, Grant Park, and tons of restaurants and theaters. After a day of exploring the city, head up to the rooftop bar Boleo for amazing views and Latin-inspired cocktails. Or grab a drink at the lobby bar Vol. 39, which has a cozy library feel.
The staff here are super friendly and go out of their way to make your stay great. Little perks like the free evening wine hour add a nice touch. While it's not the cheapest option in Chicago, the Gray offers a luxe experience in a prime spot for those wanting to be in the middle of the action.

Club Quarters Hotel Wacker (medium range hotel)
Club Quarters Hotel Wacker, the location can't be beat - you're steps away from Michigan Avenue shopping, Millennium Park, and all the action of downtown Chicago. The rooms are simple but comfortable, with nice touches like free WiFi and coffee makers. Some even have kitchenettes if you want to save money on meals out.
The hotel has a cool historic vibe, being housed in the 1928 Mather Tower. But don't worry, the amenities are modern. There's a fitness center if you want to work out, and a club room to hang out in with free coffee and snacks. The staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations.
Overall, it's a solid mid-range option if you want to be right in the heart of the city without breaking the bank. The rooms may not be huge, but you probably won't spend much time in them anyway with so much to see and do right outside the door. It's perfect for a weekend getaway or business trip to the Windy City.
