The Neighborhood: The Chicago Loop
The Loop is Chicago's beating heart — the elevated trains that give the district its name rattle overhead past century-old skyscrapers, LaSalle Street's canyon of banks, State Street's flagship stores and the Theatre District's glowing marquees. By day it hums with office workers; by evening the riverfront, Millennium Park and dozens of restaurants keep it alive.

Good to Know: Local Tips

Practical notes for this location: Chicago hotel bills add roughly 17% in combined taxes, most downtown properties are fully non-smoking, and valet parking typically runs high — if you're driving, compare the reserve-ahead garages in this directory before committing to the hotel's own valet.
