Play With Water at the Sheraton Chicago Northwest



The coolest thing about the Sheraton Chicago Northwest at 3400 West Euclid in Arlington Heights, other than its proximity (and views of) the Arlington Park racetrack, is its waterpark. This makes the Sheraton, an otherwise standard offering in the Starwood family of hotels, a destination for families and anyone else who likes to splash around.

The waterpark is called Coco Key, themed with a colorful, tropical Key West vibe. Coco Key ...

This five-star private club was founded in 1879 ...

Hotel Sofitel


Of all the great hotels in Chicago, I think that if I had to spend a night in a hotel I would choose Sofitel.  For one thing, it is a beautiful and distinctive building.  The architect, Jean Paul Viguier, designed it to be a contrast to the Hancock Building, which is a block away.  While the Hancock is black and floors get smaller as they get higher, Sofitel is ...

The Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers Offers Luxury and Location



As a popular tourist destination, our fair city features some incredibly fine hotels. The Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers is one of these hotels—and elegance and luxury are among the perks this location offers.

The Sheraton is right along the water, which makes for some stunning vistas of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River—although when I stayed there my room was on the other side and my view was of the ...

Chicago City Center --- More Than Just a Holiday Inn


Saying the name Holiday Inn, immediately brings the familiar green logo into people's minds. The Holiday Inn brand is known for its family-friendly service, however when one looks for sophisitcated lodging, the chain isn't the first one to come to mind. That is unfortunate, because the Chicago City Center, a Holiday Inn Hotel offers the elegant hotel experience of a downtown property, yet it remains customer-friendly.

The dedication to guest service ...
