Chicago hotels with rooftop pools.
Chicago, the Windy City, stands as a testament to American ambition and architectural prowess. Nestled on the shores of Lake Michigan, this Midwestern metropolis has long been an epicenter of commerce, culture, and innovation. Its skyline, punctuated by iconic skyscrapers, tells a story of a city that rose from the ashes of the Great Fire of 1871 to become a global hub. The Board of Trade and the Mercantile Exchange underscore its significance in the world of finance, while its jazz clubs and theaters echo the city’s rich cultural tapestry. It’s a fine place to spend some time, and we’ve picked out some of our favorite spots.

JIM and Hels’ view
Although winter in Chicago can be brutally cold, summer is amazing. The Hoxton is a great pick if you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy, and while you’re at it… make sure you have a little dip in the lake! There are a few other good hotels to visit, the Waldorf Astoria in Chicago is a real peach.
