Neighborhoods in
Chicago
Streeterville
Upscale and gleaming, Streeterville is the site of some of Chicago’s tallest buildings and to some of the most expensive real estate in the country. It’s also home to the attractions of Navy Pier, where you can enjoy carnival rides, shops, food and fireworks, to sandy Ohio Beach and, depending on what neighborhood-boundary authority you talk to, the Magnificent Mile- with its breathtaking night views. Dining, nightlife, retail and cultural experiences abound in this electric city and there are parks, museums and landmarks every other block. Streeterville is a happening little waterfront neighborhood and Stay Alfred has the place you can call home while you’re here.
River North
A neighborhood of warehouses until enterprising artists and shop owners began creating loft and retail spaces in the 1970s, River North is now home to art galleries, retail shops and high-energy nightlife in a neighborhood with a distinctly industrial feel. It’s also a just a short walk to the Magnificent Mile, and the Loop neighborhood is just across the river and easily accessible on foot. The variety and density of eateries and bars is nothing short of astounding. Every style of cuisine imaginable is available just steps away. You can take in the city views at the Chicago Riverwalk or catch a show at the House of Blues Chicago. No matter how you like to unwind, it’s likely you’ll find it in River North.
Chicago Loop
The loop – named for the elevated transit tracks that surround it – is Chicago’s central business district. It’s home to the iconic Cloud Gate (aka Bean) sculpture, green park spaces, the award-winning shows of the Theater District, and the Art Institute of Chicago – one of the country’s oldest and largest museums and home to famous works by Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Georges Seurat, Edward Hopper and countless other artists. In town for a little retail therapy? Be sure to check out the shops on State Street – which also happens to be home to a wide variety of gourmet restaurants. Just what you need to keep your energy up while exploring all that this vibrant Windy City neighborhood has to offer.
Gold Coast
This neighborhood’s name didn’t happen by accident. In this part of town, you’ll find high-end boutiques (Barney’s, Armani, Chanel, Jimmy Choo, Tom Ford, etc.), fine dining (Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse, Nico Osteria, Le Colonial, Lou Malnati’s Pizza) – and an assortment of beyond-the-means-of-most auto dealers. When you book a travel apartment in this ritzy locale, you’re also just steps away from iconic works of architecture like the Old Chicago Water Tower and the Charnley-Persky House. If it’s arts and culture you’re looking for, the Gold Coast neighborhood is home to The Museum of Contemporary Art and the Broadway Playhouse. So many diversions for your consideration, dahhhling.
South Loop
The south end of Chicago’s massive Downtown district features some of the city’s best restaurants and things to do - with a more relaxed vibe than the fast-paced Magnificent Mile and riverfront areas. Here, you’ll find sprawling green spaces (highlights include Museum Campus and Northerly Island) and wide streets that are perfect for exploring on foot. There’s no shortage of cultural attractions, like the Field Museum, the Adler Planetarium, the Clarke House Museum (Chicago’s oldest surviving home), and entertainment venues like the Arie Crown Theater and the cozy M Lounge. And South Loop is ideal for all ages, with Soldier Field (home of the Chicago Bears) and the Shedd Aquarium calling this ‘hood home.
