Quality digs in the loop
My wife and I took a 4 day trip to Chicago and had the good fortune to stay at The Silversmith. We had a king bed room but upon our arrival were upgraded to a suite which gave us a little more room to unpack and get settled in. The hotel itself is right downtown, steps from the "L" and a block from Michigan Ave and Grant park. The location made trips to the Sears Tower (having lived in Chicago a number of years ago I refuse to call it the Willis Tower), Field Museum, Shedd, Art Institute, etc very easy to manage. The one downside was a very small exercise room, but when I come back this will be my first choice to stay.
