Where to stay in Chicago for museum-heavy visit?

[Anonymous]

I've never been to Chicago but we're hoping to plan a trip with our tween including visits to the Field Museum, Art Institute, and Museum of Science & Industry. What are some close, nice, and safe neighborhoods that would be convenient for a trip like this? Thanks!

We like the Embassy Suites downtown. Great location and easy to get everywhere except Science & Industry. That is on the southside and our favorite! Have a blast.

Are you looking to stay in a hotel or air b&b? If hotel, stay downtown. If air b&b, stay in one of the near north side neighborhoods near a brown or red line train stop.

We'd probably look to stay in an Airbnb, but we're also open to hotels.

We stayed at the Hilton Chicago and it was an easy quick Uber to all those and walkable to Millennium Park, Cloud Gate, State St.

There is an express CTA bus from the loop or you can take the metra and see the Museum of Science and Industry from the stop. I agree on staying near the loop.

Chicagoan here.

Stay in River North, Streeterville, Gold Coast, or West Loop.

Happy to answer any other questions
