Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Illinois

A rooftop lounge with views of the city skyline, on-site modern restaurant and a large indoor lap pool highlight the Loews Chicago Hotel. Located near the Chicago River, the hotel with free WiFi access is 10 minutes’ walk from Navy Pier. Starting with location, it is a great choice to explore the city: one can easily walk to Millennium Park, Daley Plaza, to the starting point of the Architecture Boat tours, Michigan Av shopping mile, etc. There are also nice eateries in vicinity. The nearest bridge turned out to be an excellent location for traditional summer fireworks watching. We booked the Grand Corner King Room, and it was every penny worth. It was also one of the seldom times, when a window in skyscraper could be opened - even if only a small one, it provided for a breath of fresh air in otherwise well air-conditioned room. The design of the room was minimalist, but stylish, with a large and comfy bed and spacious ensuite bathroom. The staff was highly accommodative and welcoming. They brought us the kettle upon the first request and were overall quite attentive and friendly. The lobby is huge and nicely decorated. The restaurant, located on the ground floor serves decent food: we visited it only once for breakfast (to spend the vouchers one gets during the stay) and were quite satisfied with the quality of the offer.

Staypineapple, An Iconic Hotel, The Loop has a fitness centre and bicycle rental service. Pets receive free bedding and water upon request. Location! Staff! Room! Vibe! Sorry, I'll stop with the exclamation marks now. Seriously, this place is a gem. It's really close to two subway/CTA stations, it's in the heart of downtown Chicago, the staff were just lovely, and the whole atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. I loved all the little touches that made the stay a little bit extra; the free reusable water bottle, the water station in the lobby, Dash, the Pineapples Pup, the individual duvets etc. I would recommend Staypineapple to anyone. On a side note, as a solo traveller, I felt very safe in this hotel.
