Fodor's Chicago

KEY SELLING POINTS FOR THE SALES FORCE TOURISM TRENDS: Chicago tourism numbers hit a record high in 2017, topping 55 million visitors. Events like the restaurant industry's James Beard Foundation Awards and the NFL draft have upped the city's profile. The increasingly robust cultural offerings - about to get richer with the addition of the Obama Presidential Center in 2021 - mean the tourism trend is poised to continue. CURATED AND RELEVANT: Coverage is focused on only the best places so travelers can make the most out of their limited time. Carefully vetted recommendations are given for all types of establishments and price points. CONCISE: Shortened reviews are presented with brevity and focus. Every restaurant review has an added "Known For" section; hotels always include both pros and cons. Please see additional key selling points in the book main description.
