Chicago Hotels Offer Special Packages for Art Lovers
Art lovers visiting Chicago will be pleased to know that 9 Chicago hotels are now offering special packages which include general admission passes to the Art Institute of Chicago. Each hotel creates a package with special pricing, complimentary offers, and free passes to visit the Art Institute. Most participating hotels are located in one of two exciting neighborhoods:

- North Michigan Avenue—the Magnificent Mile between the Chicago River and Oak Street Beach, lined with great restaurants, entertainment, and shopping, including Water Tower Place, 900 North Michigan, and Chicago Place.
Whether coming from far afield or leaving the suburbs for a weekend on the town, guests may choose from hotels that combine comfort, convenience, and class with the chance to visit one of the world's great art museums, all year long.
