Spent the day looking for this iconic piece and finally found it. The Chicago Theatre was built in 1921 and was originally named the Balaban and Katz Chicago Theatre. This building has become the unofficial landmark for Chicago representing the rich arts and music culture Chicago is known for. In 1979 the building was added to the list of historic buildings, and later in 1983 was added as an official landmark for the City of Chicago. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/829/d8c03156-c181-4c86-ae96-1a7ac5ea265c.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) State Street 1 min walk \- 0.0 miles - ![Scene of Chicago street bridge with traffic among modern buildings of Downtown Chicago at Michigan avenue in Chicago, Illinois, United States, Business and Modern Transportation concept](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6156167/9a44be22-322b-4187-8844-e2aa99b46184.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Michigan Avenue 5 min walk \- 0.3 miles - ![Chicago Riverwalk which includes a ferry, a high-rise building and a city](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621533116610/2226c4aa-f944-42f1-81f9-955ea58ff161.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Chicago Riverwalk 6 min walk \- 0.4 miles - ![Chicago Theatre showing signage](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6064049/185f7905-1d94-4fcb-94f4-f8203317be58.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Chicago Theatre 9 min walk \- 0.5 miles - ![Reflection of a Chicago buildings in a mirror of Chicago Bean, Millennium Park, Chicago city, USA., Shutterstock ID 1129809965, Purchase Order: SP-2109, Order Number: SP-2109 Qantas AU US Sale New Ads](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6069201/dce58962-e3d4-4c61-b924-2acc9b980313.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Millennium Park 11 min walk \- 0.6 miles ### Getting around - Grand Station (Red Line) 1 min walk - Millennium Station 14 min walk - Chicago Midway Airport (MDW) 31 min drive ### Restaurants - Eataly 2 min walk - Bally's Casino 2 min walk - Chipotle Mexican Grill 1 min walk - Weber Grill Restaurant 1 min walk - UNO Pizzeria & Grill 2 min walk ## Frequently asked questions ### Does 2-Story Penthouse Views, Fireplace, Pool, Gym have a pool? ### Is 2-Story Penthouse Views, Fireplace, Pool, Gym pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at 2-Story Penthouse Views, Fireplace, Pool, Gym? ### What time is check-in at 2-Story Penthouse Views, Fireplace, Pool, Gym? ### Where is 2-Story Penthouse Views, Fireplace, Pool, Gym located? ## Have a question?

Beyond the condo, you have access to the 9th floor with a pool, and a covered area with multiple BBQs and seating areas. We would stay here again for our next Chicago trip. ##### David B.

There's a red line stop right outside the front door and a grocery store in the same building, so we were able to park in the garage and either walk or take transit anywhere we wanted to go (we drove to Chicago).

The pictures and the description don't even come close to how perfect it is. The views are spectacular (you can see the Navy Pier fireworks from the balcony!). You could walk to just about anything, and for those things you can't walk to the Red Line is literally right underneath you. The Big Bus also picks up 2 blocks away. No car needed, just get a CTA card and go explore! Our party of 6 had ample space to spread out and everybody was comfortable. If you are looking for the perfect place this is it!!! ##### Eric B.

If seeing downtown is a primary reason for coming to Chicago, then its hard to beat this location. Literally everything is walkable. Views, views, views. Chicago is an architectural wonder and so many of those wonders are visible from the apartment. Great communication from the owners, we are fairly low maintenance, and didn't need to reach out for anything, but they give you all of the information you need. Having a full gym available is a huge plus. Centrally located so it was easy for us to get to Wrigley and the the United Center. We are coming back to Chicago soon and hopefully we will be staying here! ##### Michael R.

The location couldn’t be better. Metro stop is on the corner, and made getting around a breeze. The doorman of the building was so nice, and gave us great recommendations for food, etc. We had our kids with us and they enjoyed the pool. Expect very thorough instructions about check in and check out. We very much enjoyed our stay, but were a little stressed out by the fact that the place says it’s kid friendly, but then had very strict rules about not touching windows, no running, no loud voices. All reasonable requests, but with three boys we might have thought twice about staying given the expectations. Overall, the stay was great and the owners were very responsive when there was an issue with the tv. We would definitely stay again. ##### Ashley K.

WiFi did not work the majority of our visit. HOWEVER-- the big issue was the $650 charge (note this is the most that is allowed to be charged) for 'damages' to the property. Some of the 'damages' ranged from ridiculous (a picture of the inside of the trashcan lid with some food on it), to breakage of a glass (which I had immediately reported via text to the owner when it occurred), to those we know we did not do (damage to a comforter inside a duvet cover), and some pictures that were sent of 'damage' that we could not even identify an issue with. Plan to tack on an extra few hundred dollars to the posted price even if you do everything you can to take care of the property (I have never received a negative review on our many, many stays in VRBO properties). Would NOT recommend staying in any of this owner's properties. ##### Beth O.

From the moment you walk in the door and see the floor to ceiling windows in ALL rooms you will feel relaxed and comfortable. This spotless 3 bath/2 bed condo was perfect for our family of 3\. We had plenty of room to spread out with privacy for all. The unit is fully stocked with everything you would need besides your food and drink. I've stayed in many rentals and this was by far over and above the amount of necessities provided. There were plenty of paper products, toiletries, hair dryers, towels, garbage bags, cleaning supplies, extra linens, blankets, and pillows. Due to the thorough communication from the owners the check-in/check-out procedures were very easy with no anxiety or stress. We knew exactly what was expected of us during our stay and we knew that they were there for us should anything arise. Everything from hot water to cable/internet to heating/air ran perfectly. The property was in a very convenient (and safe) location close to everything we were there to see and do. The front desk (door staff) was welcoming, helpful and attentive to our needs. The unit was very quiet the entire length of our stay. The conveniently located Jewel Osco on the ground level was all we needed for any additional supplies and necessities. I would certainly stay again especially in the warmer months when you can really enjoy the patio and breathtaking view! This is definitely a new favorite in Chicago and I highly recommend. ##### BRENDA G.

We absolutely loved our stay. So much room for our family of 5\. We loved waking up to stunning views of the Lake and city scape. The place was spotless when we arrived (kudos to the cleaning staff). Great location, walkable to so many things but also right on the red line. I don’t think we will be able to stay anywhere else during future trips to Chicago! ##### Dollie S.
