Things To Do
Chicago Riverwalk
The Riverwalk is a 1.25 mile long path along the shore of the Chicago River. There are restaurants, bars, seating areas and stunning views of Chicago's architecture. Entrances to the Riverwalk can be found across the street from the Sonesta on the north side of Wacker Dr.
The Art Institute of Chicago
The Art Institute of Chicago is a world class art museum located about 15 minutes walk from the Sonesta. Its galleries include the largest Impressionist collection outside Paris.
Wendella Tours & Cruises
If the weather is good, we highly recommend experiencing the Chicago River Architecture Tour offered by Wendella. These boat tours last 90 minutes and the Wendella dock is only two blocks away from the Sonesta. You'll travel along the main, north, and south branches of the river, learning about Chicago's rich architectural history. Tickets are $40 and tours leave throughout the day.
The Bean
Cloud Gate, more popularly known as The Bean, is a work of public art created by Sir Anish Kapoor. It's the most photographed spot in the city and the centerpiece of Millennium Park. It's a 10 minute walk away from the Sonesta and worth checking out!
