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 \- 0.1 km - ![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 3 min walk \- 0.3 km - ![Water Tower Place](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6064087/b6a04578-7f57-4437-b0b1-672d4ae44f19.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Water Tower Place 5 min walk \- 0.4 km - ![John Hancock Centre, Chicago, Illinois, USA](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6065131/daa3bf78-0a2e-4598-ba9f-9094bc1bd9cc.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) 875 North Michigan Avenue 6 min walk \- 0.6 km - Northwestern Memorial Hospital 5 min walk \- 0.5 km ### Getting around - Chicago Station (Red Line) 2 min walk - Millennium Station 18 min walk - Chicago Midway Airport (MDW) 33 min drive ### Restaurants - McDonald's 2 min walk - Chick-fil-A 1 min walk - Giordano's 2 min walk - Life Cafe 2 min walk - Jake Melnick's Corner Tap 1 min walk ## Frequently asked questions ### Does 2BR near Riverwalk + downtown access have a pool? ### Is 2BR near Riverwalk + downtown access pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at 2BR near Riverwalk + downtown access? ### What time is check-out at 2BR near Riverwalk + downtown access? ### Where is 2BR near Riverwalk + downtown access located? ## Have a question?
