The 254 rooms at this South Loop hotel, located in the shadow of the hulking Hilton, aren't dazzling, but they are clean, comfortable and decorated in good taste. The hotel shuttles guests free of charge to the Magnificent Mile. The key attractions are the retractable glass roof atop the indoor pool, and the terrace, both offering million-dollar views. Brasserie by LM is the French-inspired restaurant in the hotel lobby.
If you're visiting our fair city to catch a Chicago Bears game, staying near Soldier Field makes a lot of sense. Many of these South Loop hotels are just a short walk to the stadium, something you'll be thankful for in the winter or after you've had a few too many samples of Chicago's great craft beer. But you'll also be near other top Chicago attractions, such as the Museum Campus, Grant Park, the lakefront and Willis Tower.
