A downtown hotel is the best option for exploring Chicago and its most famous sights. However, if you have a specific interest in mind, there are hotels throughout the city, and getting away from downtown will give you more of a feel for surrounding neighbourhoods. Budget-priced accommodation is typically quite far from the Loop, so when you are booking, remember that Chicago is a vast metropolis.
Chicagoans understand their city by splitting it into specific 'sides' - to the north, west, and south of the central business district. Chicagoans also tend to identify strongly with their neighbourhood, reflecting real differences in culture and place throughout the city.
