Fantastic 5.0
We chose to stay here for three consecutive nights in Chicago, opting for a lake view room, with the Trump Tower visible right outside our window. The beautiful views, both day and night, already made us feel like we got excellent value for our money. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient for walking everywhere, eliminating the need for transportation. Even after four days and three nights exploring Chicago, we still felt like we hadn't seen enough. If we have the opportunity to visit again in the future, this will definitely remain our top choice!

Great 4.0
The doors and window frames showed their age. The door, in particular, didn't close properly and often required a strong push, sometimes leading to us leaving without the auto-lock engaging. On the positive side, the plumbing was clean, and the customer service was excellent. It was also very helpful to be able to get free bottled water from the front desk at any time.

An attraction well worth visiting. The Ledge (glass balcony): This is the biggest highlight of the Skydeck. Located on the 103rd floor, it features several fully transparent glass boxes extending 1.2 meters outward. Standing on them and looking down, you are suspended entirely in mid-air, offering an intensely thrilling visual experience and the best spot for taking stunning high-altitude photos of Chicago. The tallest observation deck in the United States: The Willis Tower is currently the third-tallest building in North America. On a clear day, visibility reaches up to 50 miles, allowing you to span the borders of four states at once (Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan) and take in the magnificent views of Lake Michigan and the urban skyline.

An amazing museum, the Field Museum has one of the world's finest collections of paleontology and fossils. The museum is located in Grant Park. Here are the must-see treasures and permanent exhibits in the museum: SUE the T. rex This is not only the museum's absolute signature attraction, but also the largest and best-preserved (with 90% skeletal completeness) Tyrannosaurus rex fossil in existence. Located in the Griffin Halls of Evolving Planet on the second floor, it is paired with special lighting and multimedia animations to let you fully experience the overwhelming presence of this apex predator from 67 million years ago.   Máximo the Titanosaur Upon entering the museum's soaring main hall, this gigantic creature will immediately catch your eye. Máximo is currently the largest dinosaur known to humanity (about 121 feet long, weighing 70 tons in life). This replica is so large that visitors on the second-floor walkway can take photos directly at eye level with its head.   Inside Ancient Egypt This exhibit simulates the interior passageways of an ancient Egyptian tomb, making you feel like an explorer venturing deep into a dark burial chamber. It features 23 real human mummies and over 30 animal mummies, detailing the embalming and mummification process with a deeply immersive atmosphere.   Griffin Halls of Evolving Planet In addition to seeing SUE, this hall comprehensively traces the evolutionary history of Earth's life from single-celled organisms to human ancestors. Along the way, you can see precious fossils of dozens of prehistoric beasts, including saber-toothed cats, woolly mammoths, and Triceratops, offering plenty of educational value and visual impact.

What to know before visiting Chicago

What to do in Chicago year-round

Chicago is best known for Observation decks, Attraction passes and Museums, with Cruises and Tours also popular — Klook booking data shows strong seasonal swings through the year. Demand peaks in June and July when city views, river cruises and museum visits climb, while March is a pronounced quiet month. Use those rhythms to decide whether you want festival energy or a calmer visit: pick peak months for atmosphere, off-peak months for space and savings. All figures and trends here are based on Klook booking data.

When to visit and what to expect

Demand tops out in June, with bookings about 48% higher than a typical month, while March is the trough at roughly 49% lower, according to Klook booking data. Hotel prices on Klook drift through the year: the priciest month in the price series is August with a typical nightly price of MYR 219, while June is the dataset's cheapest at MYR 138, a gap of roughly 37% between them. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for June or the quieter spring months; for peak-season atmosphere choose June–July or November when demand rises.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average MYR 146
February Very quiet MYR 158
March Very quiet MYR 146
April About average MYR 162
May Busier than usual MYR 150
June Peak demand MYR 138
July Peak demand MYR 199
August About average MYR 219
September About average MYR 191
October About average MYR 182
November Peak demand MYR 162
December About average MYR 154

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to stay by typical nightly price

Klook hotel data shows a clear spread across Chicago districts: Loop is the most affordable with a typical nightly rate of MYR 641, while O'Hare sits at the priciest end with about MYR 1,107 per night — roughly 42% higher than Loop on Klook. The lower-priced end generally suits travellers prioritising budget and easy access to central attractions, while pricier districts suit those seeking quieter, higher‑end hotel amenities and room options. These figures are based on Klook booking data and reflect typical nightly rates seen on the platform.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers book with relatively little lead time — on average about 1 day ahead, while the earliest planners book around 8 days out, according to Klook platform data. That means you can often remain flexible and still secure popular experiences close to travel, but in June, July and November (peak months) consider booking earlier to avoid sold-out time slots. Use Klook to check availability and lock in tickets or passes when you see dates that suit you — the platform's historical booking patterns make it easy to compare options and decide when to book.
