Thompson Chicago

Thompson Chicago sits at 21 E Bellevue Pl. The hotel is a five-minute walk from the Magnificent Mile.

Most hotels in this part of the city lean toward the frantic pace of the nearby shopping district, but this spot leans into its quieter residential block. While the surrounding area attracts high-volume tourist traffic, the hotel feels significantly more private than the glass towers lining the main thoroughfare. It functions best for those who prefer to keep the reach of Water Tower Place at a distance while maintaining access to the Gold Coast. Choose it if you want to remain central without hearing the rumble of the city’s major arteries outside your window.
