Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park

Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park stands at 200 N Columbus Drive in The Loop, on the edge of Millennium Park and Maggie Daley Park, with the Chicago Riverwalk and the Magnificent Mile each a short walk away. The tower overlooks the park, Lake Michigan and the downtown skyline, and Millennium Station and several L lines are close by, as is the Pedway connection used in cold weather. Rooms are offered as Deluxe, Executive and Club Level rooms and suites, with floor-to-ceiling windows on many floors and park or lake views from higher levels. The hotel is known for sustainability-minded touches, including a rooftop herb garden and beehives that supply the kitchens, and it has an on-site spa, a fitness center and a restaurant and bar serving seasonal American menus. Concierge and valet services are available, and the hotel's location makes it popular for visitors attending concerts, festivals and events in the park. Rates of roughly $229 to $499 a night fluctuate with Chicago's convention calendar and with summer events at Millennium Park and nearby Grant Park, including the Lollapalooza weekend, which sits a few blocks away. The hotel suits travelers who want a full-service property with park views and walkable access to museums, the Theatre District and the lakefront, whether visiting for leisure or business. Service is polished and business-capable, with meeting facilities and staff experienced with large events, while the spa gives leisure guests a reason to stay in during cold weather. Dining on site is supplemented by hundreds of restaurants within a short walk. From O'Hare, the Blue Line to Washington and a short walk east reaches the hotel in roughly 45 minutes; from Midway the Orange Line to Adams/Wabash is similar. Attractions within a ten-minute walk include the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cloud Gate sculpture known as The Bean, the Chicago Cultural Center and the Chicago Architecture Center's river cruise docks. Maggie Daley Park's ice ribbon and playgrounds make the location useful for families in both summer and winter.
