Best Hotels with Activities in Chicago

Chicago pairs a Lake Michigan shoreline with neighbourhoods a family can navigate without a car, from the Loop's Millennium Park and Art Institute to the Gold Coast's Oak Street Beach and Lakeview's Wrigley Field. The L train connects River North, the Magnificent Mile and Navy Pier, so a hotel near one stop still reaches most sights within a short ride. Two airports, O'Hare and Midway, serve the city, and hotel pools, kids clubs and family suites cluster most heavily along the Magnificent Mile and the downtown lakefront, making museum mornings and beach afternoons easy to combine from the same base.
