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
Our room was quiet, the staff were friendly, and not fake, and the location was ideal! If you stay here you have to eat ot the downstairs Pub. Great food, and good prices. We liked everything about our stay and would stay here again.

Perfect location
This hotel was in the perfect spot to take in all of the Magnificent Mile. Not too far south or north - we walked everywhere, including to the Sears Towers. The pub downstairs had amazing food at a reasonable price & Starbucks in the hospital was our other daily stop. Our room was quiet, and bed comfortable. It wasn't super fancy - but at the price I didn't expect it to be. Hotel staff were accomodating & kind - only thing I"d change is to have a water or coffee station in lobby? Thanks!

Chicago trip
We had fun doing activities and small trips on our own. We were disappointed with the location of the room we were assigned at the hotel. It was located in a short hallway that was buffered inbetween the ice machine and the service door that the hotel staff used. There was a lot of noise and we felt as though we were being punished or deliberately isolated in a dark, noisy corridor (there wasn't another room in this corridor). [...]
