Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Chicago
From glittering lakefront skyscrapers to tree-lined neighborhood streets, Chicago offers a range of places to stay—from luxury hotels with skyline views to cozy boutique inns and budget-friendly rentals that put you close to the action. For first-time visitors, choose River North or the Magnificent Mile for easy access to shopping and nightlife, Lincoln Park for family-friendly charm, or the West Loop for dining and boutique hotels; long-stay travelers often find apartment rentals near the lake a comfortable value. Book early for festival and summer weekends, prioritize properties near CTA lines or Metra stations for easy sightseeing, and look for hotels that include breakfast or parking to get the best overall value.
