Loews Chicago

The Navy Pier, sometimes called 'The People's Pier', is the most visited destination in the midwest for good reason. Jutting out into Lake Michigan, this 50-acre labyrinth of shops, theme parks, concert halls and theatres is an eclectic hodgepodge of culture and consumerism that beautifully encapsulates the American Dream. Think Shakespeare productions alongside funhouses! The best hotels near Chicago's Navy Pier are all within a one mile radius, and are as idiosyncratic and stylish as this iconic destination. Some are great for couples; others are perfect for their location. All of them boast state-of-the-art facilities and the latest tech.
