Hotel Recommendations

Staying in Streeterville keeps the weekend centered around the waterfront. Sable Hotel Navy Pier, Loews Chicago, and Embassy Suites place guests within walking distance of the lake, river access, and major gathering points. Hotels here often function as hubs for both daytime plans and evening meetups.

Celebrations

Bachelor & Bachelorette Weekends

Streeterville works well for weekends built around the water. Days often revolve around lakefront walks, boat access, and open air settings before transitioning into relaxed meals and rooftop drinks.

Pinstripes, Shore Club, and Robert's Pizza provide flexible gathering spots that accommodate groups without rushing turnover. Evenings tend to stay scenic rather than nightlife driven, allowing groups to stay together and keep plans fluid.
