Hotel 71 Chicago's location on newly renovated Wacker Drive at Michigan Avenue is at the epicenter of the city's activity. Hotel 71 Chicago is minutes from most office buildings in the loop and minutes across the river from the Merchandise Mart and the burgeoning River North District with its art galleries and first class restaurants. Theatres and museums are literally a block away and Chicago's famed Michigan Avenue and Magnificent Mile, with its exclusive boutiques and department stores, start one block east of the hotel. Navy Pier and the beaches on Lake Michigan is a short walk away.
