The best hotels in Chicago with a view you’ll never forget

If you’re wondering what to do in Chicago the first thing is to just look around, either from one of the fancy hotels in Chicago listed below, gazing up from street level, or even while enjoying drinks at the top of some of the world’s most iconic skyscrapers.

875 North Michigan Avenue, better known as the former John Hancock Center, is a 100-story, 1,128-foot supertall skyscraper located in the Magnificent Mile district. 1000ft up on the 94th floor you’ll find 360 CHICAGO, an observatory with a tilting glass lookout, and BAR 94, 360 CHICAGO’s own in-house bar located 1,000 feet over Chicago’s spectacular Magnificent Mile. If cocktails and views is your thing it makes sense to stay at one of the best hotels in Chicago with a view you’ll never forget – and to drink at one of the best bars in the city, also with a view you’ll never forget.

Another exceptional skyscraper to experience is the former tallest building in the world, and still Chicago’s tallest building in the city, Willis Tower, standing at an impressive 1,451 feet. Its Skydeck offers spectacular views spanning up to four states and, for those feeling adventurous, The Ledge, a glass balcony extending four feet outside the 103rd floor of Willis Tower.

Of course, if you’d rather appreciate all the gleaming metal and glittering lights from your luxury Chicago hotel, we’d totally understand and would probably do the same, occasionally slipping out for sultry cocktails at one of the city’s ritziest bars like The Aviary, Lazy Bird, Kumiko, The Violet Hour, and The Berkshire Room, making the most of Chicago’s exceptional restaurants, such as Alinea, Smyth and The Loyalist, and Oriole, and perhaps taking a stroll around Navy Pier, Millennium Park – you have to see The Bean – and Magnificent Mile, before maybe catching a show at one of Chicago’s award-winning world-class theaters.

For the main part though there’s a reason you’re looking for the best hotels in Chicago with a view you’ll never forget. Lazy mornings coffee cup in hand gazing out over the skyline, with nothing more than the difficult decision of whether to order more room service, head to the spa, or get dressed up and saunter down to one of the incredible hotel restaurants without leaving the building, probably. Ideally one with a view.
