The jewel of America's heartland, few cities in the world can match the character and culture of Chicago. Chicago blends the style and sophistication of one of the largest cities in the United States with the friendliness and approachability of the Midwest.

Renowned for its architecture, Chicago is home to some of the tallest and most impressive buildings in the world. Architects Frank Gehry and Jaume Plensa have made Millennium Park a top destination for stunning examples of public art as well as a favorite spot for taking in outdoor concerts, splashing in the fountains or sipping cocktails at open-air cafes.

Whether in town for business or pleasure, visitors are drawn to the natural beauty of

Lake Michigan with its sandy beaches and jogging paths, world-class dining, distinguished museums, and downtown neighborhood entertainment options. The bustling theater district and celebrated theater companies offer options ranging from improvisational comedy to traditional theater to dance productions.

Home to twenty-one Michelin-rated restaurants, Chicago is truly a dining mecca.

Shoppers revel in the 460 storefronts lining the Michigan Avenue's Magnificent Mile, located next to Waldorf Astoria Chicago hotel. The most extraordinary brands in the world are represented there and on neighboring Oak Street, the most exclusive shopping destination in the city. Chicago's neighborhoods, including

Wicker Park, Bucktown and Lincoln Park among others, offer charming alternative shopping and dining options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Hilton for Luxury always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

Do I earn Hilton Honors points and keep my elite benefits? Is this considered a direct booking or a third-party booking?

Yes. The booking is a direct reservation with the hotel, so it earns Hilton Honors points and elite-night credit, and Hilton Honors elite status benefits apply.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
