Fun non stop shopping and eating! Seemed like anything you'd like. It was hard to choose what store or restaurant to go to. Check out a map so you don't miss a place.

Chicago is a clean interesting city with amazing food. We were only there for 3 days. We stayed at the Hilton Chicago and toured The Art Institute and The Chicago 360. The Art Institute has amazing art especially impressionistic paintings. Saw the whole city from the 90th floor of the 360. The shopping is great in that same area. We ate at Au Cheval where we had delicious hamburgers although the wait was long on a Friday night. We also had Chicago deep dish pizza at Lou Mahnati’s which was amazingly delicious - we called ahead and got right in.

The Magnificent Mile is a bit quieter in winter months, when this grand avenue is not too busy with traffic, but the upscale shops are shining and welcoming customers to buy presents anyway, as was the case before Valentine's Day, when we visited the area. The Mag Mile was magic in the evening hours, as well -- all in lights, and subtle colors of shopping windows, hotels and restaurants. The avenue was still in winter decorations, which looked unusual, but very pretty! Love The Mag Mile.

This was business trip, so I didn't have high expectations. I was tired from my trip from the west coast, but the ray of sunshine from a clod Chicago winter day, was Alejandra at the front desk. She made me feel welcomed, like I was visiting an old friend. She was polite and knowledgeable about the hotel and the city. i know I'll have future visits to the Chicago area, due to my job and hope to see that smile next time.

The Magnificent Mile is a stretch of Michigan Avenue running from the Michigan Avenue Bridge over the Chicago River to Oak Street. It is Chicago's premier shopping street filled with the finest department stores and high-end retailers. There are no shopping bargains to be found here. Shop here if you enjoy spending a lot of money. It is mostly tourists walking up and down the Magnificent Mile taking in the scene. I find most of it rather uninteresting not being much of a window shopper. However, it can still make for a good stroll and the area is clean and safe both day and night. The best aspect of the Magnificent Mile is the architecture that can be viewed near the Michigan Ave Bridge over the Chicago River including of the Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower and the area near the Historic Watertower including nearby iconic John Hancock Center and Watertower Place.

A wonderful place to visit on a nice day. I stopped in Chicago for the day on my way out west. Chicago is an underrated city for shopping and beautiful lake views. Didn’t have time for the restaurants but would like to return soon
