Chicago Local Attractions
The Vibrant Pulse of Chicago
It takes just one quick hop on the L Train to scope out some of the city's best sights, Chicago local attractions, restaurants and nightlife. Our City Suites Hotel location gives you walking-distance or fast-track access to it all.
We are located in Chicago's vibrant Lakeview/Northalsted neighborhood. Our closest major attractions are Wrigley Field (home of the Chicago Cubs) and the scenic Lake Michigan waterfront/Belmont Harbor, both less than a mile away.
We are located roughly 3.5 to 4.5 miles north of downtown Chicago (The Loop, Michigan Avenue, and the Chicago Riverwalk). By taking the adjacent "L" train, you can be in the heart of downtown in about 15 to 20 minutes.
Yes, we sit within steps of the Belmont CTA "L" Train Station. This is a major transit hub giving you quick access to the Red, Brown, and Purple lines, which can whisk you straight into downtown Chicago or further north.
We are located 15 miles from O’Hare and 14 miles from Midway airports. Taxis or rideshares take 30 to 50 minutes and cost between $40 and $65, while taking the CTA "L" train directly to the adjacent Belmont station costs $2.50 to $5.00 and beats city traffic.
Yes! Getting around without a car is incredibly easy because we are located right next door to the Belmont CTA "L" Station. You can easily walk to several local favorites, including:
- Wrigley Field: Just a 10-minute walk (0.6 miles) away.
