- Chicago, though a great vacation choice for adults, can be a bit of a challenge when traveling with children.chicago 1 image by Blu-Mu from Fotolia.com
Traveling to Chicago with children can be challenging. Tourist activities in Chicago, with all its architectural and cultural attractions, can tend to skew toward adult-centered. Luckily, Chicago has many hotels that cater to families, in various star- and diamond-rated categories. Generally, the more stars or diamonds a hotel is rated, the more amenities it has, which means that all family members have a better chance of having a good time, no matter what their age. - Proximity to Lake Michigan is one of Chicago City Centre Hotel and Spa's most attractive features.Chicago image by templario64 from Fotolia.com
