You really need to state your budget.  Chicago has some great hotels in central locations, but they are $$$$$.

Chicago's awesome, by the way.

Answer 5

If you have a high budget go with the Four Seasons. They will basically cater to your every need plus you are close to shopping and dining downtown.

A little cheaper in the W hotel (one in business district and one near lakefront).  I would choose lakefront because it is closer to shopping and dining if you don't want to walk far.  But the other one is near the Sears Tower and a medium walk to things.  Intercontental is nice but they have smaller rooms but a great tiled pool inside.  I forget but half of the building is different (1 side has smaller, older rooms and the other side is more modern...call to ask).  Swissotel is also nice and it pretty close to shopping on Michigan Ave.  For a bit cheaper the Hilton Towers on S. Michigan Ave is a really nice place to stay and close to the park.

Answer 6

The Drake.

Answer 7

Holiday Inn and the Sheraton are my favorite hotels.  

Answer 8

The Essex hotel on South Michigan Avenue has been mostly renovated though they are working on the heat/air systems I believe.  The Essex is well located for the museams, the parks, transportation, food.  Best of all?  The Pool!  The Essex has a very nice partially covered pool with a great view of Grant Park across the street.  The whole south loop area where the Essex sits is not the skid row it used to be at all!  As for the air, it is either on heat or cool, is a touch loud but my family (I'm a mom) slept fine and had a ball.  Another tip for Chicago, is to skip the Hancock and maybe the Sears tower observatories and instead go to the Signature lounge on the 96th floor of the Hancock.  It has a family friendly room as well as a more adult but well behaved bar, the view is astonishing especially at night and with no admission charge you can afford snacks and a drink.  One can go casual or have the kids try on dress up manners and go dressed.  A good experience.
