Visiting Chicago. Hotel Suggestions? (hotels, neighborhood, taxes)

[York40]

Hey everyone!

In late April I'll be making a short (Thursday-Sunday) vacation trip to Chicago with my sister.

We're making an itinerary now, but I was wondering if anyone could throw out some hotel recommendations (potentially along the river/have a river view) for us to look into? I know my sister likes the general area around Trump's tower there.

We'd like for $200-$300/night but this is definitely flexible both ways, we could go higher or lower.

I'm currently looking at hotels myself but it's always nice to get real-time opinions from others.

Thank you!

Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront

Ask for a room with River view. This is close to Trump Tower too.

And grab some pizza next door at Bella Bacino's.

Drake Hotel

Chicago, IL 60611

It's located in on the north end of River North. I've attended swing dancing events in their bar on a few occasions. I loved it; you can just feel the history there. Rates run for $105+taxes on third-party sites. Rooms should be good, save for problems associated with most old buildings. (low water pressure, not enough outlets, etc.)

The Drake is likely more than $105/night and will not provide a river view given its location off the end of the Mag Mile.

The Trump Hotel is really nice if you're coming for business occasion.

Hotel Sofitel or Drake

I really liked the athletic association hotel and the London House. Both beautiful places. I've heard the Robey in Wicker Park is also fabulous if you're looking for something hip in a neighborhood.
