We recently spent a few weeks in Chicago and went with two properties from the Hyatt chain for our stay. While Chicago has more than 20 Hyatt properties, we narrowed it down to Park Hyatt Chicago and Thompson Chicago, splitting our stay between them.
So far, this has been our second hotel stay at the property from the Thompson collection (you can read about our stay in Mexico at The Cape, a Thompson hotel here), and we were eager to check this Thompson out.
Opened in 2013, Thompson Chicago offers 247 rooms and suites to choose from and is conveniently located in Downtown Chicago, near the Magnificent Mile and Lake Michigan. Let’s take a closer look at what this hotel has to offer.
This summer, we spent a couple of weeks in Chicago. For our stay, we went with our favorite hotel chain – Hyatt, and decided to split our stay between two properties. Did you know that Hyatt headquarters are located in Chicago, and the chain has more than 20 hotels represented in the city?
For our first 7 nights, we picked the luxurious Park Hyatt Chicago. Interestingly, Park Hyatt Chicago was the very first property to bear the Park Hyatt name when it opened its doors in 1980.
Park Hyatt Chicago is located steps away from Michigan Avenue and offers 146 guest rooms and 36 suites. Last year, the hotel underwent an extensive renovation project and reopened with a fresh look. Let’s take an in-depth look at all the amenities Park Hyatt Chicago has to offer.
Recently we spent a few weeks in the windy city of Chicago. Although we do not travel to big cities that often, Chicago is one of our favorite cities in the U.S.!

There is something special in this vibrant city life, impressive architecture, and vast Lake Michigan. Did you know that Chicago was named the Best Big City in the U.S. for the 6th straight year by Condé Nast Traveler?
Let’s take a closer look at all the family-friendly activities in Chicago in the summer.
Recently, we spent a few days in Juneau, Alaska’s state capital, located in Southeast Alaska. This little town is tucked in a temperate rainforest between the base of Mount Juneau in the Tongass National Forest and the Gastineau Channel. Juneau is a true gem for nature lovers and is home to soaring bald eagles, brown bears, and majestic humpback whales.
Interestingly, with no road access, Juneau is the only state capital in the mainland United States that can only be reached by airplane or boat.
Juneau has a rich Gold mining history, with the mining industry being a significant part of the local economy in the past. The legacy of mining in Juneau still lives on through the many historical sites and artifacts – from abandoned mines to preserved mining equipment.
Without a doubt, Juneau is a great destination for a family vacation, with activities to suit all types of travelers. Here are the best kid-friendly things to do in Juneau at our Juneau Alaska family travel guide.
