WhereChicago is an editorial guide for travelers and locals who want to experience Chicago with depth, clarity, and local insight.

We curate Chicago’s best dining, hotels, neighborhoods, attractions, and event spaces through a thoughtful, editorial-first approach—highlighting places that define the city today while uncovering the details that make it unforgettable.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering the city you call home, WhereChicago helps you navigate Chicago with confidence. Our guides are designed to cut through noise and surface what matters most: standout experiences, well-crafted spaces, and destinations worth your time.

WhereChicago blends local expertise with editorial curation. We don’t aim to list everything—only what’s relevant, compelling, and aligned with how people actually explore the city.

Our coverage spans:

• Where to Stay – curated hotel guides, neighborhood-based recommendations, and thoughtfully selected luxury and boutique stays
• Things to Do – iconic attractions, seasonal experiences, cultural highlights, and local favorites
• Dining & Nightlife – from Michelin-level dining to neighborhood staples, rooftop bars, cafés, and cocktail culture
• Neighborhood Guides – immersive looks at Chicago’s districts, their personalities, and how to experience them well
• Events & Venues – festivals, celebrations, and standout spaces for weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings

WhereChicago is an independent editorial platform. Some venues and businesses may receive featured placement for increased visibility, but all coverage—editorial or featured—is curated to align with our standards and audience interests.

Being featured does not guarantee inclusion across unrelated guides, and transparency remains central to how we present content. Our goal is always the same: to help readers discover Chicago’s most compelling experiences with clarity and trust.

WhereChicago is built for:

• Travelers planning a meaningful Chicago visit
• Locals looking to explore beyond the obvious
• Event planners and couples researching venues
• Readers who value quality, design, and thoughtful recommendations

Chicago is layered, dynamic, and constantly evolving. WhereChicago exists to help you experience the city intentionally—whether that means booking the right hotel, choosing the perfect neighborhood, discovering a new restaurant, or finding a venue that truly fits your event.

This is Chicago, curated.
