Best for
This hotel is well-suited to travelers who want a Wicker Park base near restaurants, shops, and nightlife while still being a short ride from central Chicago attractions like Willis Tower/Skydeck Chicago and Millennium Park.

Travel tips
Because the hotel sits just off I‑90/94, it can be a convenient starting point for drivers planning to visit downtown sites such as the Chicago Riverwalk (4,386 m) or The Chicago Theatre (4,295 m). Plan time to use the rooftop terrace, which is a frequently mentioned highlight and a good way to take in city views without leaving the property. Many major attractions—including Lincoln Park Zoo (3,055 m) and the Art Institute of Chicago (5,055 m)—are a few to several kilometers away, so expect to use transit or rideshare rather than walking everywhere.
