Discover Our Boutique Hotels in Chicago

Situated right along the shore of Lake Michigan, Chicago is the third largest city in the United States. Lovingly referred to as “Chicagoland,” this Midwestern city is home to nearly 10 million people.

Whether you’re drawn to the art, history, or culture, this bustling city has something for everyone. Book a night or five at one of our three downtown Chicago locations - Ambassador Chicago, Hotel Lincoln and The Talbott Hotel - and enjoy a trip to the Windy City.

Best Time to Visit

With frigid winters and humid summers, fall and spring are the best time to visit Chicago. These seasons give way to warm temperatures that are perfect for a dip in the lake.

What to Pack

Given its proximity to Lake Michigan, the weather in Chicago can be unpredictable! Make sure to pack lots of layers during the cooler months (including hats and gloves). In the summer, keep the mosquitos at bay with a bottle of bug spray and lightweight layers.

Top Attractions

The Shedd Aquarium
A great stop for those with curious kids, the Shedd Aquarium is home to over 32,000 aquatic species. From non-native frogs to penguins and sharks, this aquarium is your one shop stop for diverse aquatic wildlife.

Skydeck Chicago
Calling all thrill-seekers! Explore the Chicago Skydeck on the very top floor of the Willis (once Sears) Tower. With Panoramic windows and a glass ledge, this observatory presents a heart-pounding, beautiful way to watch the sunset and take in the city.

Cloud Gate
It’s not a trip to Chicago if you don’t visit “The Bean.” This stainless steel, reflective sculpture is a “Windy City” must see. Costing nearly $475 million to complete, it’s no wonder this piece of art has risen to one of Chicago’s most popular attractions.

Lake Michigan
Sure, it’s called Lake Michigan, but this Great Lake’s shores could easily be mistaken for an ocean beach. With 26 miles of shoreline spanning along the city and 26 beaches, Chicago offers a fun freshwater get-away for kids young and old.
