The Peninsula Chicago

The Peninsula Chicago sits on E Superior St. You are a five-minute walk from the shops of the Magnificent Mile and the retail bustle of Water Tower Place.

While the surrounding blocks draw thousands of tourists daily, this address remains a quieter choice for those who want proximity to the city's main commercial vein without living inside it. The room runs dressier than the neighboring storefronts, and the house car is a more practical asset here than at local hotels further from the museum district. It is a ten-minute walk from the Museum of Contemporary Art, making it a better base for galleries than the hotels anchored directly onto Michigan Avenue.
