Embassy Suites Hotel Lakefront
With so many hotels in Chicago, it is tough to know where to stay. One option is the Embassy Suites Hotel downtown located at 511 N. Columbus Dr. Embassy Suites touts this Lakefront location as the official hotel for Navy Pier. Those with special needs will find the free continental breakfast offered daily convenient and easy to access with a wheelchair. Use the valet parking located in the hotel and forget about parking the car. In addition, this "all-suite" hotel allows plenty of room for a family to relax.

With just a short ten minute walk to Navy Pier, Ohio Street Beach and restaurants, Embassy Suites makes finding things to do with a wheelchair easy. One word of caution: visitors are advised to avoid walking down Illinois Street west from the hotel as the sidewalk ends, and wheelchairs have to go on the street.

From this hotel check out these other two great destinations and events.

Ohio Street Beach: Take a walk down Grand Ave. toward Navy Pier, turn left down a bike path and arrive at Ohio Street Beach and enjoy the Lake Michigan views.

Air and Water Show: In August, take an end of summer trip to this great attraction. You can see the planes fly right by your window from this hotel. Make your reservations early because this is a very popular weekend to travel into Chicago.
