"Perfect Location"

The Arlo is a great hotel that is located close to many of the Chicago Attractions that tourist want to see. If you're looking for theater shows, the Theater District is a couple of blocks away. Looking to ride the L line or buses, they are close and walkable. Lots of great restaurants are within walking distance and the Arlo has a great onsite restaurant with good food and a fun happy hour. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about everything. I really enjoyed my stay there and will return and stay there for my next trip to the Windy City. It is a beautiful city with a great history. Now with the Obama Museum and Library it is truly a top destination location! Book your trip today and stay at the Arlo! You won't be disappointed!
