Have never been and thinking about a summer trip.

Where is the best place to stay ?

I suppose I want to be in the thick of things within walking distance to everything.

Money isnt really an issue.

Appreciate any input

The grandeur of the Ritz-Carlton Chicago, a Four Seasons Hotel, is unmistakable in its magnificent setting atop Water Tower Place, overlooking the exclusive North Michigan Avenue. Occupying floors 15 to 30, the hotel boasts 434 guest rooms of five-star standard, including 90 luxury suites. No matter what the weather in the Windy City, guests can enjoy stunning city and lake views from the sun deck of the temperature controlled in-door pool, located in the Carlton Club Spa at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago.

I have stayed in the Park Hyatt and Trump recently both high end hotels and Park Hyatt for location as well as service is the best....How long will you be in for and what month? Will you have a car? If you do rent a car rent it from the hotel for the day, parking in the city at teh hotel will run you between 50-65 a night, you can get a room in some cities for that...

pizza recomendation above is quite solid. for a great meal, try gibson's. just realize
that in chicago the average portion size is bigger than you would expect.

If you're looking for a place to have a few beers before or after a Cubs game check out Goose Island Wrigleyville, just a half block south of the stadium on Clark.
