Tampa to Chicago is a flight of around two and a half hours to the Midwest's capital — landing at Midway or Executive instead of O'Hare puts the Loop and the lakefront within easy reach.
Chicago combines big-shoulders business with some of the best food, architecture, and lakefront in America. O'Hare is a global hub but a notorious bottleneck; flying private into Midway or Chicago Executive in Wheeling keeps you clear of it, with a short drive to the Loop, the Mag Mile, or the northern suburbs.
Popular for: Corporate business, conventions at McCormick Place, Cubs & Bears games, lakefront summers, Lollapalooza.
The Peninsula Chicago and Four Seasons Hotel Chicago set the Gold Coast standard, while the Waldorf Astoria Chicago brings residential elegance to the Gold Coast. The St. Regis Chicago, a striking Jeanne Gang tower, overlooks the river, and the Langham, Chicago in a Mies van der Rohe landmark is a perennial favorite for service.
Chicago is a true dining capital. Alinea remains one of the world's most celebrated restaurants; Smyth and Ever also hold multiple Michelin stars. For Chicago classics, Gibsons handles the steak dinner and Girl & the Goat from Stephanie Izard stays perpetually booked. Deep-dish pilgrims head to Lou Malnati's.
Walk Millennium Park and the lakefront, take an architecture river cruise, and visit the Art Institute of Chicago. Catch the Cubs at Wrigley or the Bears at Soldier Field, shop the Magnificent Mile, and take in the view from the Willis Tower or 360 Chicago.
