Park Hyatt Chicago
Park Hyatt combines both relative affordability with excellent service. CheerioFamily can’t say enough good things about their “superb service”. Momofthreeboys thinks it’s “location is excellent. Right on Michigan avenue, across from Water Tower. There are plenty of shops everywhere. Also a nice playground within walking distance.” asmpman loved the kids “welcome packages with cameras and coloring books”. Families will appreciate the indoor pool and laundry facilities.

What little girl would not be in heaven!
