Explore Grant Park, Steps Sway from the Hotel
Known as "Chicago's Front Yard," the 319-acre Grant Park hosts dozens of festivals and events every year. Home to the famous Cloud Gate statue or the "Bean" in Millennium Park, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Buckingham Fountain, Grant Park is Chicago's cultural playground. Indulge your inner foodie at The Taste of Chicago, dance the day away at Lollapalooza, watch your favorite bands at the Grant Park Music Festival, and relax to the soothing sounds at the Chicago Jazz Festival. Grant Park's central location in The Loop business district is also the starting and finish lines of the Chicago Marathon. Grand Park is just a few blocks from Silversmith Hotel.
