Picture-perfect location near Michigan Avenue shopping and restaurants
A visit to Chicago wouldn't be complete without a stroll along the Magnificent Mile, so the properties closest to the grand boulevard earn instant bonus points. For travelers looking to be within steps of Michigan Avenue restaurants, landmarks and shops, it doesn't get more convenient than this classy Chicago hotel. Catering to business travelers and tourists, the property goes beyond the norm to offer special rooms like kids rooms, tech rooms and suites. Big windows capture the impressive skyline, with some framing views of Lake Michigan.
Highlights
- Steps from the Magnificent Mile, Water Tower Place, American Girl and John Hancock Observatory
- Close to Navy Pier
- Family-themed rooms and tech rooms complete with an iMac
- Outdoor rooftop pool open seasonally
Rooms
Guests have a choice of layouts, from standard rooms to suites with lovely views of the cityscape. The hotel goes a step further, though, for families and Mac lovers. Kid-friendly rooms throw a bit of color into the neutral palette, boasting beds covered with rainbow linens, Little Einsteins pillows, giraffe play tubes, beanbag chairs and mini chalkboards. In the Tech Rooms, expect an iMac, color printer and high-speed and Wi-Fi access.
In all rooms, look for the Zebra print upholstered armchair, a signature of the hotel, plus iHome docking stations and high-definition LCD TVs.
Features
Chicago is known for its place in defining American architecture, so it's only natural to expect remarkable design from impressive city hotels like the Avenue Hotel.
Guests can admire Windy City vistas from Skybar, a European-influenced restaurant and lounge open all day. Whether it's the breakfast buffet or cocktails with fellow conventioneers, Skybar lures with its lounge seating, communal table and tilted windows.
Downstairs, visitors mingle with downtown professionals at the Elephant & Castle, a pub dishing up British favorites like bangers and mash, stuffed Yorkshire pudding and beans and mash. Dim lighting and a wood-heavy interior make it the place to linger and sample a global selection of brews.

Perfect location
- Good breakfast (European) - We got a free upgrade to a corner suite because we had a baby. It was perfect at night when we had an own room for her.

Great shopping location
Great location just of Michigan Ave., right in the middle of all the shopping and still close enough to the river to walk down to the loop to shop or walk to Millenium Park. The hotel was clean and our room was very spacious. The side street(Huron)that the hotel is on is very busy because of the hospital traffic so be preparred if you bring a car and plan on paying about 50 bucks a day to park.

Nice place
The only negative was having to wait for over an hour to get in to our room. With a 5 year old, it was tricky. But to make up for the delay we were upgraded to a suite. The room and the service was impeccable! Would definitely stay there again.

Great Location!
This hotel is just a few steps off Michigan Avenue, a half a block from Gino's East (the best pizza!) and about 3 blocks from Water Tower Place. Location was important to us as we did a lot of shopping and enjoyed the park while eating Ghiradelli ice cream! The location is also good if purchasing the Go Chicago card as there are a few trolley stops very close. The hotel rooms were extremely clean and spacious. The beds were comfy. I would recommend leaving the hotel for breakfast or grabbing something from Walgreens a couple of blocks away as the restaurants are overpriced and not great quality. My 13 very much enjoyed the open roof swimming pool and the view was gorgeous up there. Would definitely stay here again!

Long walk from hotel
Head to Navy Pier and take the architecture river cruise. Or do as part of the Go Chicago card and take the trolley. It was a lot of fun and we were able to see a view of Chicago that I have never seen despite numerous visits.

Great choice!
First time in Chicago, best choice ever! This hotel is steps away from Michigan Avenue. Seriously is one of the best located hotels in the area. The staff is amazing and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I totally recommend it.

Long walk from hotel
Navy Pier is a must. Try Harry Caray's Tavern. Awesome food and great bar. Everything in this city is "long walk", so don't worry! If you really want to know Chicago: WALK!

Pleased with my choice
I was pleased with my choice in hotel.s The hotel was perfect for our trip to Chicago.... perfect location, clean and comfortable. The only thing that could have better would be a complimentary breakfast as we have had in other hotels of this caliber. Otherwise I would not hesitate in staying again. Make good use of the bakery down the street just 1 block south for reasonable B/L/D choices. Loved the Chicago people as well... did not expect the friendliness we received. Great Town!

Sightseeing tip:
Short walk from hotel
Take advantage of the Hop on Hop off Bus/Trolley tour the city has to offer... very good way to get around town. Also - the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier was the best $6.00 I have ever spent in my life!

visit sick family
we arrive at the hotel everything was fine I like the hotel, After my ugly experience at the airport with us missing our flight and the airport giving us another fly like 3hours later and the plane was so small.. I'm sure I did not pay for that kin of plane. coming back to the hotel we got there we ask the valet parking if that was the parking place to the hotel he said yes I said is there any charge for parking there he said are you staying here I said yes till sunday he said there is no charge. And when we wore living we had an envelope in side a letter that said we owe the parking 100.00 doll. so I was not satisfy with fly going to chicago just for a 3 to 4 min. late (you never know about traffic next time we have to live my house 5 hours before) and the parking at the hotel because that valet guy lie, The coming back to arkansas was wonderful.

Mother and 3 daughter shopping
The hotel staff were very helpful but the room size was terribly small! The pictures on the hotel website and on Orb were much nicer than the room we got. The pool on the roof was small. The location was great.There are three small fast elevators. This was the first time I booked the hotel and flight and was very disappointed. The GO! van ride we were sold got the number wrong on the first ride and never picked us up for our ride back. We had to pay for a cab. With 4 people it would be faster and cheaper to take a cab! Now I will try and get a refund for the ride that never came.
