The Chicago Architecture Tour is a great way to see the city, both if you're local or have never been to Chicago. They offer both 45- or 90-minute boat tours down the river to see the city from a different perspective. We suggest the 90-minute tour!

Walking around Lincoln Park Zoo is a great way to spend a beautiful Chicago Summer day. Right next to the park is Lincoln Park Conservatory and botanical gardens. The Conservatory requires a reservation (see link below), but admission to Conservatory and Zoo are free.

The rooftop at our venue provides one the best views in Chicago, overlooking Millennium Park and looking out to Lake Michigan. You can go up to the rooftop without a reservation to grab a drink at their bar/outdoor terrace. Lines can get quite long, but hotel guests have access to a separate elevator from the general public!

Head down to the Riverwalk and enjoy a glass of wine and some charcuterie, while watching the boats cruise down the Chicago River.

Head over to our neck of the woods in West Loop, and have a meal at TimeOut market. They've curated a space that encompasses the best food, drinks and culture that Chicago has to offer, with 18 eateries, and a rooftop bar. Pro-tip: if you download & order through the app, you'll cut down on wait times!
