The area many tourists look for when booking hotels is called "Near North Side", closer to the lakefront and the Magnificent Mile (Michigan Avenue). It is near shopping,
theater theatre, museums, and architectural landmarks that Chicago is known for.
How long do you plan to stay and what are your interests, in addition to shopping?
