Hotels in Illinois
Illinois means Chicago when it comes to FHR, and the city delivers with 24 properties clustered along the Magnificent Mile, Gold Coast, River North, and the Loop. It's one of the strongest urban FHR markets in the country.
Notable Properties
The Langham occupies a Mies van der Rohe tower on the Chicago River. Four Seasons Hotel Chicago and The Peninsula Chicago anchor Michigan Avenue luxury, while Waldorf Astoria Chicago and Park Hyatt Chicago round out the top tier.
Things to Do
Take an architecture boat tour on the Chicago River, visit the Art Institute, eat deep-dish pizza and Michelin-starred meals in equal measure, and catch live jazz or blues. Summer rooftop season makes experience credits especially fun to spend.
Credit Tip
Chicago hotel rates drop significantly in winter — many FHR properties fall well under $300/night from November through March.
