Top Rated Chicago Hotels of 2025 According to Our Readers

Chicago is packed with activities and attractions all year round. Spring is a wonderful time to enjoy the 606, a rail line-turned walking and biking trail, while summer is ideal for exploring the outdoor parks or cooling off in the spectacular art museums. Additionally, fall is the perfect season to visit the city’s top tourist attractions, like the Willis Tower and the Bean. During the winter, the cold provides a great excuse to seek comfort in the city’s diverse restaurant scene, with exciting places such as Duck Duck Goat, a Chinese-inspired spot from Top Chef winner Stephanie Izard, and secret bars like Three Dots and A Dash. Consequently, it’s little wonder that Chicago has seen an influx of tourists in recent years, leading to an expansion in its hotel scene. Notably, several new hotels have made a significant impact, with The Langham, Thompson, ACME, and Godfrey all opening within the last five years, earning accolades as some of GoTravelDaily’s Best Hotels in Chicago.

Ultimate Guide to Planning Your Big Sur Adventure in California

In the Big Sur region of California, the Pacific Coast Highway seems made for a daring road trip: its winding roads hug the curves of the coast, and the highway is set on massive cliffs that plunge straight into the Pacific. Golden sunlight streaks through patches of fog; frothing waves ravage the shore below. If that sounds dramatic, it’s because the drive truly is. In fact, it’s precisely why nature-loving travelers often build the longer and more challenging PCH route into itineraries between Los Angeles and San Francisco (over the shorter U.S. 101). Without any stops, the 90-mile stretch takes roughly two and a half hours to traverse, meaning it’s entirely possible to experience the highlights in just a day. However, Big Sur’s elevated vistas, lush hikes, and wild beaches entice many to linger for a night or two—and make the trip a once-in-a-lifetime ambition for many. Whether you have 24 hours or a weekend, here’s how to do it right.
