The Radisson Hotel and Suites is an award winner in the heart of downtown Chicago right off the Magnificent Mile, which means world-class shopping, dining and cultural attractions right outside the front door. The Radisson is within blocks of Navy Pier, a showcase of unique restaurants, shops, exhibition facilities and an entertainment area that is the Windy City's top tourist attraction. Recreational enthusiasts are three-block walks from Lake Michigan and its 30-mile lakefront path perfect for jogging, walking, biking and rollerblading. What's more, the scenic Sydney R. Marovitz Golf Course is four miles away from the hotel.

Visitors often overlook the Old Water Tower about four blocks from the hotel. Built in 1869, the Gothic-style structure resembles a tiny 13th-century castle. The tower was one of the few buildings to survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

This being Chicago, guests will find plenty of dining options serving everything from steak to sushi, but the Elephant and Castle Pub is worth scoping out. The restaurant serves comfort foods from Britain as well as imported beers, ales and single malt scotches. When sightseeing, making deals or enjoying food, guests can fly up to the 40th floor for the rooftop swimming pool, fitness center and breathtaking views of Lake Michigan and Chicago's skyline.

With warm browns and burnt orange, guestrooms include executive desks, ergonomic chairs, high-speed Internet access, video games, refrigerators, minibars, fancy bath products and expansive views of the city or lake.

The Radisson Hotel and Suites offers a prime location along with an unpretentious feel. Common sites around the place are families in Chicago Cubs gear headed to Wrigley Field four miles away, vacationers in shorts ready to stroll three blocks to the lake, or dealmakers banging away their laptops in the lobby.
