Welcome to the Chicago South Loop Hotel.
Sincerely, The Management & Staff
11 West 26th Street, Chicago, IL 60616 | 1.(312).225.7000
Some say the weather in Chicago is unpredictable, but I say the constant change keeps Chicagoans on their feet and gives them life. In our vast city where every-thing changes on a daily basis, you are guaranteed to have your mind and body stimulated all year round.
Chicago is well known for many reasons. First and foremost it boasts one of the world’s most gorgeous skylines thanks in part to an outstanding architectural legacy. Home to some of the finest dining options in the country, shopping experiences, indoor and outdoor entertainment venues, culture, and attractions, your visit to Chicago will be a memorable one every time.
We’ve created the Lavish Passport to help you get through the ‘customs’ of the city, taking you where you want to be fast, and helping you get what you need even faster. So welcome to Chicago, we are honored to provide you “a passport to our city”...

GETTING AROUND
From the moment you arrive in Chicago
from either of its two airports and easily
navigate your way onto the subway—blue
line from o’Hare, orange from Midway—just
a hop, skip and a jump from baggage claim,
you quickly realize that this is one tourist-
friendly city. Here’s some transportation info
to make your visit even easier.
ChICAgOTrAnSITAuThOrITy(CTA)
the main modes of public transportation
in Chicago are either the subway/elevated
trains (known by locals as the ‘el’) or buses,
both offering visitors an easy and economi-
cal way to get around the city. Save even
more dough and buy a Visitor Pass: $5.75 for
one-day, $14 for three-day and $23 for a sev-
en-day pass. Not sure of how often you’ll be
using it? opt for a transit Card—available at
all el stations—and decide exactly how much
money you want on your card. 888.968.7282,

THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Sure, Chicago winters are tough but we
definitely make up for it the rest of the year
with amazing outdoor activities and equally
spectacular places to enjoy them in.
MIllennIuMpArk
the 24.5-acre park cost more than $300
million and was four years delayed, but
once you see the Frank gehry-designed
outdoor Jay Pritzker Pavilion; Cloud gate
(called ‘the bean’ by locals), a huge stain-
less steel sculpture that reflects the skyline
and everything else around it; and Crown
Fountain, the two towers that project photos
of Chicagoans on its 50-foot façade, all is
forgiven. 201 e. randolph St., 312.742.1168,
www.millenniumpark.org
lInCOlnpArk&BrOOkFIelDZOOS
Lions, tigers and bears are only part of
the package at these two zoos. Located in
Lincoln Park, just steps from the lake-
front, Lincoln Park Zoo features indoor
and outdoor exhibits, lush greenery and a
children’s zoo, all at no charge (2200 N.
Cannon dr., 312.742.2000, www.lpzoo.org).
Wear your walking shoes when visiting the
216 acres—and more than 3,000 animals—
at the brookfield Zoo. added bonus: the
hand-carved carousel (1st ave. and 31st St.,
708.485.0263, www.brookfieldzoo.org).

BeACheS&hArBOrS
do like we do and make the most of nice
weather by spending some time at one of our
many beaches. North avenue beach: When
you see a slew of volleyball nets—and people
playing—that means you’re at this popular
beach. grab a drink atop the boat-shaped
building at Castaways. Montrose beach and
Harbor: Further north, this area stretches
from Montrose to Wilson, with plenty of
activities in between.
