Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers050

Featuring a grand lobby and spacious open areas in which families can relax, the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers is one of the more family-friendly hotels in the downtown area. Standard rooms are large enough for a family of four, and suites offer more breathing room for larger groups; all accommodations include beds with fluffy pillows, firm yet comfortable mattresses, deep soaking tubs, and mini-bars with snacks and beverages. Cribs are available for no extra charge, and roll-aways are available for a small fee. Room service is available with a variety of options on the children's menu, including pasta and grilled cheese. Other on-site dining options include Shula's Steak House and the Chicago Burger Company, where kids can create their own burgers to order with a variety of yummy toppings. Don't forget the swimsuits, since kids can enjoy the hotel's heated indoor pool, a rarity in downtown hotels. A Dominick's grocery store is a block away, a real convenience to find forgotten toiletries, baby items, or simply some instant oatmeal (use the in-room coffee maker for hot water). When kids get bored, they can find Nintendo games and premium movies are available on pay-per-view, and the AMC River East theater is almost directly across the street. Other near-by attractions include Navy Pier, Millennium Park, the Art Institute, and the Chicago Children's Museum.
