My favorite hotel in Chicago!
If you are looking for an upscale Chicago hotel, the Drake is a great choice. I have been going there for many years. The location on Michigan Avenue at Walton is very north on the "Magnificent Mile" but used Google maps to negotiate the bus system rather than taxis. The bus system is quite simple to use to reach the tourist hotspots like the Art Museum.
The Drake is pricey but you get what you pay for.
