What’s so special about Four Seasons in Chicago?

The Four Seasons Hotel Chicago is highly regarded for its embodiment of luxury intertwined with culture and style. It is located in the heart of the Magnificent Mile and North Michigan Avenue and serves as the perfect base for shopping and sightseeing. The hotel is well-known for its warm, friendly staff and inviting atmosphere, as well as its stunning views of the Chicago skyline. However, what travelers love most are the butler service, pet-friendly accommodations, and the kids’ club.

How did TripAdvisor pick the best hotels in the country?

Tripadvisor includes over 8 million listings and determines its Travelers’ Choice Awards based on user ratings from the past 12 months. The rankings are entirely based on traveler feedback, and fewer than 1% of the listings achieve this milestone. So when you think of a hotel that meets all the criteria—outstanding service, comfortable rooms, and more—it is likely one of these award-winning spots.
