You’ll also find many great restaurants within walking distance of the hotel:

• Pizzeria Portofino – Italian, right on the river with great views
• The Purple Pig – A Mag Mile staple known for shareable Mediterranean small plates  (does not take reservations)
• Eataly Chicago – A short walk north with multiple Italian dining options under one roof
• Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab – Great for a more upscale Chicago dinner
