City Breaks
Illinois
Chicago is the major metropolis of America's heartland, with three million people hustling and bustling in the city of skyscrapers that appears to rise straight out of the waters of Lake Michigan, in northern Illinois. Once a gangster's hang-out synonymous with infamous names such as Al Capone and Bonnie and Clyde, the 'windy city' today has a squeaky-clean reputation as an international business and commercial capital boasting an eclectic mix of architecture, world-class theatre, art exhibitions, fantastic music and super-enthusiastic sportsmanship.
Chicago emerged as a rough and tough survivor after being destroyed in the Great Fire of 1871, and a huge influx of immigrants from all over the world in the early 20th century brought with them a determined spirit infusing the city with ethnic diversity and the unmistakable sound of Chicago-style blues music. Chicagoans have built a city that is to be reckoned with, boasting soaring skyscrapers like the Sears Tower (one of the tallest in the world); thriving ethnic neighbourhoods; a lakefront business district, the re-energised downtown; unbeatable shopping along the famed Michigan Avenue; and top-class sports teams.
One thing that does not attract visitors to Chicago is the weather, which, because of its geographical location is breezy at best, and freezing and gale-ridden at worst. It is possible to ignore the weather though, especially in summer, when getting caught up in the myriad of things to do, see and experience in this Midwestern metropolis - there are 30 excellent museums alone.
This luxurious and historic Chicago hotel, just 4 minutes' walk from the Magnificent Mile, features 2 restaurants and a fitness centre. The Whitehall Hotel’s spacious rooms offer complimentary Wi-Fi in all public areas.
Cable TV and a minibar are included in each of the modern guest rooms. The marble bathrooms offer complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer.
Guests at Whitehall Hotel can enjoy fine dining at the on-site Fornetto Mei, which serves Italian and Asian cuisine. Mei's Corner serves cocktails and Asian small plates for lunch and dinner. Complimentary coffee and tea is served in the lobby.
This ideally situated hotel is within a half mile of Water Tower Place and the Museum of Contemporary Art. It is within 3.2 km of many Chicago attractions, including Navy Pier, Millenium Park and Lincoln Park Zoo.
