A great place for tourists! This place is big, beautiful and such a nice place to spend a day. You will enjoy their special rooms that give homage to local tv and radio, you can watch a play, hear a concert or just enjoy a leisurly lunch in their on-site restaurant. They are in the best location in the city (Michigan and Randolph), which is conveniently located to every bus and train you can imagine! Their staff consists of some of the nicest people around, who all seem to love what they do!
Take in the culture This Chicago landmark has so much to offer. It's classic architecture takes you back to yesteryear. This once was the main branch of the Chicago Public Library. Beautiful marble and ornamants show off this building which features art exhibits, daily live music, studio theatre productions, a gift shop etc... There is much more that can be said, but you must stop here while in the city and see for yourself. Free addmission also.
