Tourists visiting Chicago should stay in areas like The Loop for easy access to museums and Millennium Park, River North for dining and nightlife, or Magnificent Mile for shopping and iconic skyline views, all offering excellent hotels and public transport connections.

The Loop, River North, and the Magnificent Mile are all part of the Downtown area, which is highly recommended for first-time visitors. Although they can be pricey, these central locations provide quick access to major attractions, dining options, shopping, and public transportation. On the other hand, foodies will love West Loop.
