June is the perfect time to experience Chicago’s beautiful parks and lakefront, its remarkable architecture, world-class museums, Michigan Avenue shopping, and its legendary blues scene. The Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park location on N. Columbus Drive gives you easy access to all the popular attractions. A train stop is located about 10 minutes away from the Fairmont at State and Lake Streets. This is part of Chicago’s network of buses and trains called the “L” (for elevated) and is part of the network called the Loop.
Millennium Park is just one block south of the Fairmont on Michigan Avenue. The Bean, the polished steel structure that fascinates park visitors with its reflection of them along with Chicago’s skyline, is located here. Another attraction in the park, where kids love to play, is a wading fountain surrounded by 50-ft glass towers featuring faces of famous Chicagoans.
The Art Institute of Chicago, which houses the country’s top collection of Impressionist and Postimpressionist art, is in the block beyond Millennium Park on Michigan Avenue. Other popular museums—the Field Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Science and Industry, the Shedd Aquarium, and are a short bus or taxi ride from the hotel.
The hotel is just a few blocks from the Chicago River, where the Chicago Architecture Foundation launches its amazing 90-minute boat tours along the river. This tour spotlights more than 50 architecturally significant sites where you will discover a new perspective on the city and learn about the development of the skyscraper. The Riverwalk is also a pedestrian walkway along with river if you prefer walking to a boat ride.
Navy Pier is six blocks away across the river on Illinois Street and Lake Michigan. This is a great place for a morning jog, a wonderful place to catch a boat cruise, or a concert, or to ride the giant Ferris wheel. The Chicago Children’s Museum is located on the Navy Pier. Be sure to experience some of Chicago’s culinary wonders while you are in town. Deep-dish pizza, hot dogs, and Italian beef sandwiches are Chicago specialties you won’t want to miss.
