Chicago for wedding
The hotel has just been remodeled and was pristine. It has a very friendly restaurant and bar in the lobby, very convenient. The location is perfect if you enjoy walking to places...the park(across the street), river, navy pier and lake are all 20 mins away. If you enjoy shopping, Michigan Ave has all the stores within walking distance also. I highly recommend it.

Great Stay
I stayed at the Arlo with a group of friends for a girls trip. This hotel is the perfect location for a first time to Chicago. The neighborhood is very walkable, close to grant park, and close to many restaurants.

Excellent All-Around
Very nice rooms, great view and excellent location, with superb, friendly staff. The downstairs restaurant was also quite good.
Only drawback of the property is a fairly limited lobby- not really much room available to wait for the rest of one's party to arrive.
