Hotel to view the Chicago Air and Water Show
I'm thinking of heading up to Chicago for the Air and Water Show in August and was contemplating of trying to view some from my hotel balcony or roof-top terrace so I could relax with a beer and not deal with crowds the entire time. I've stayed at many hotels in Chicago and the best one I can think of to fit the bill would be the Waldorf Astoria (Elysian) in one of their suites with a east or north facing balcony. Since I've never been to the actual show, I'm not 100% sure if the air show part would be visible from the WA.
Would any of you agree, disagree or have other suggestions? I prefer Hilton but Marriott will do as well.
