This theatre is amazing. It looks okay from the exterior, but the interior of the building is real pretty. Its nicely built with a nice view from every seat. There are all sorts of shows held here-- mostly operas and musicals. There'[s a show here almost every weekend. The only inconvenience is the parking. Its hard to find parking nearby and it costs a lot to park.

I can't really think of any real negatives about the Hotel Indigo. Yes, the bathrooms are small (but incredibly, not the smallest I've had to deal with - NYC holds that title), and the dining options are limited. But, since we knew that going in, I can't call those negatives; they're simply facts of life. I didn't go to Atlanta to sit in a tub or eat at the hotel restaurant, so it didn't matter to me.
We stayed at the Indigo because it's dog friendly, the price was right ($115/night), and the convenient location. I kind of expected a place a little tattered or worn - maybe because of the dog friendly aspect - but it was every bit as nice, fresh and clean as it's website photos claim. The only hint of its pet policy was people walking through the lobby with their dogs - and the guys running around ready to clean up after them (although it appeared that cleaning up after the dogs wasn't often necessary!). The staff was very friendly to us (we snagged a lot of treats for the dog, too) and the room was very spacious and bright.
We were about a block from the Marta station, and only had to retrieve our car once (fortunately, because the Rockettes are currently performing at the Fox Theatre, and the Hotel's parking garage was getting a big workout from it). There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance to choose from, so the lack of hotel dining options wasn't an issue for us.
I used the fitness center twice. It was small, but quite servicable (two treadmills, and elipitical machine and a bicycle; a universal-type of weight system, and a few mats for sit ups, etc.). It was accessible 24 hours a day, and it appeared not many guests were taking advantage of it.
Basically, the hotel is as advertised - maybe a little modestly appointed, but what it does, it does very well. It's clean, comfortable, cheerful and really an excellent value. I'd not hesitate to stay there again - with or without the dog!

It's unsual, to be sure, but when I went here for a concert I fell in love with the venue. It's large, but a fun place for a popular rock concert. The drinks are expensive! The area is a bit shady too, so I wouldn't go by yourself.

Navy Pier is amazing. All my friends who come visit Chicago always want to go to Navy Pier. Its an actual pier that is along Lake Michigan. This pier has many different things for you to do. They have a bunch of great restaurants, little booths to shop at, boating rides, a little amusement park, a theater, and so much more.
No matter what age you are or what your interests are, you will definitely be able to find something interesting and fun to do here.

Great place to hold your reception, very fancy looking inside though it's not that attractive outside. Friends had their wedding reception here and they were allowed to bring in food from outside, which is nice because a lot of places lock you into a certain caterer. Overall, nice ambiance and look.

The acoustics are terrific in this beautiful and historic hall. There is not a bad seat in the house, because of the way it is designed. They of course feature classical concerts , but also have jazz , pop or choral concerts as well. The great Ravi Shanker even played here last year. I had the honor of singing in a choir here some years ago. I feel this place is a must see when visiting Chicago.
