Looking for an artistic stay in the Windy City? This is the hotel for you. Complete with it’s own vast history and sophistication fit enough for royalty (but really, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor have graced this hotel with their presence), The Blackstone makes for an exciting stay in the heart of Chicago.
The location will win you over from the minute you step in or out of its doors. Residing regally on Magnificent Mile, the Blackstone is a wonderful home base with Chicago’s hot spots right outside your front door. Attractions like the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago Symphony Center, and Chicago Architecture Foundation Tours are all just a short walk from the hotel. Be sure to use the city’s public transportation to explore further sights like the Lincoln Park Zoo, Willis Tower, Chicago History Museum, Navy Pier, Museum of Contemporary Art, and much more. Chicago awaits to be discovered via the Blackstone.
Stepping into the lobby was a grandeur experience. Pristine marble, a large staircase, and beautiful molding greet you as you enter. It is not hard to imagine why many celebrities and presidents have stopped by the Blackstone in its heyday. A happening Catalan inspired restaurant awaits for a memorable dining experience within footsteps of the lobby. The Blackstone also boasts a stunning art exhibit, where one could find themselves gazing at stunning pieces of art.
Walking into an expansive suite, the view will catch your eye immediately. From one corner you could look down the rush of Michigan Avenue and then out to the cool blue waters of Lake Michigan. One feels like they’re a part of the city. The room was marked by design forward pieces, like an Eames chair in the corner, and modern fixtures. And with an open bathroom design, it made for a comfortable space to prep for a day in Chicago.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
