Experience the heartbeat of Illinois at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. Connected to Illinois Center, this Four Diamond downtown Chicago hotel is ideally situated within the Magnificent Mile, an American version of the Champs-Elysées. Immerse yourself in the “city within a city,” as this downtown Chicago hotel links you to Blues, Jazz, irresistible cuisine, Grant and Millennium Parks, Lake Michigan beaches, Navy Pier and Michigan Avenue.

You’ll find dozens of attractions, including museums, shopping on Michigan Avenue, and architectural tours by trolley or boat. Take a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio or relax on a rubber-wheeled “San Francisco-style” trolley that stops at a number of popular spots around the city, including Navy Pier, the Grant Park museums, the historic Water Tower, and the Sears Tower, Chinatown, Little Italy, and Harpo Studios.

As the SVC Companions hostess, Jodie McClure looks forward to helping our companion guests find their way around Chicago and organizing some fun activities to do together.

The daily itinerary will be flexible, and Jodie will be contacting companions to discuss individual interests and suggestions. A breakfast area will be reserved for companions at the Hyatt to meet Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Activities might include a few hours at the Art Institute of Chicago, lunch at one of the many fine restaurants, and a 90-minute sailing cruise on Windy, a 148-foot four-masted schooner from the Navy Pier. The schedule is always flexible and you don’t have to join the group every day. If you want to learn more about Chicago before your arrival in April, visit www.meetinchicago.com and explore Chicago!
