Leaning all the way into its “Loews Loves Families” programming, this beloved property doesn’t miss a beat with its impressive assortment of great amenities for kids. This includes tent setups for sleepovers, dive-in movies at the indoor pool, city scavenger hunts, plenty of ways to play (from board games to PlayStations), and a rotating lineup of storytime options from the hotel’s Bedtime Book Cart.
Spacious rooms can be outfitted with practical extras—night lights, baby bath products—and complimentary afternoon cookies don’t hurt, either. The central location in Streeterville is a dream for active, curious families: Take an easy breezy walk to Navy Pier (otherwise a nightmare by car), and you’ll find the Chicago Children’s Museum, an exhilarating Flyover Chicago experience, and numerous boat tours. You’re also a hop, skip, and a jump from the Riverwalk, Michigan Avenue, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the playground wonderland that is Maggie Daley Park.
