If you're there 5 hrs, you probably land before 4. Hop in a cab, head to downtown, and walk around. If youve never been there, have them take you to Michigan and the river and just start walking north. Maybe happy hour in the signature room @hancock before you had back to the airport.
I spend a lot of time there, and this sounds like the best and most memorable choices given the time restraints.^
