Hotels & resorts

This is what they said in their write up.

“It’s no wonder Chicago is topping this list yet again. A world-class destination known for its impressive architecture, first-rate museums, brilliant chefs, and massive brewing scene; it’ll take several repeat visits to get through your list of must-dos. Most people start downtown—from the Magnificent Mile to the ritzy Gold Coast to funky Old Town—but there are 77 neighborhoods to explore, where you’ll find cutting-edge restaurants, chilled-out corner bars, and, no matter where you go, some of the most pleasant people you’ll find anywhere. “

And here is the Top 5

  • 1. Chicago
  • 2. Honolulu
  • 3. San Diego
  • 4. Nashville
  • 5. New York City

We all know this is the greatest city to live in, and now everyone else does too. Expect more tourists next summer! -Ali
