Location – Location – Location!
Chicago, IL – The Drake Hotel
Chicago is often called a friendly city – and you will agree when you accept this warm invitation. It looks great from every angle; whether you´re exploring the astonishing architecture during a guided tour, or you´re enjoying the bird´s-eye view from the Sears Tower Skydeck or the Hancock Observatory. The city´s 29 miles of lakefront paths are just one reason Chicago is one of the world´s most walkable and beautiful cities.
The Drake Hotel is a Chicago landmark and has been a symbol of elegance for over 80 years. This hotel is a treasure of Chicago, and the first choice of celebrities and heads-of-state since its opening in 1920. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the Gold Coast, overlooking Lake Michigan, across from Oak Street Beach, and right on the Magnificent Mile. The Drake Hotel offers exquisite accommodations, an array of modern amenities, and puts its guests in the center of Chicago's exciting shopping, nightlife, culture and dining experiences.
The Social Aspect
In addition to an outstanding educational experience, there will be plenty of time to explore downtown Chicago. Take time to wander the famous Magnificent Mile, which is right outside the doors of The Drake Hotel. The Magnificent Mile, also know as North Michigan Avenue, is filled with fun family entertainment and exciting adventures. There are also countless parks within the city, and two of the favorites are Lincoln Park and Millennium Park. You can head north and go "wild" at Lincoln Park´s zoo, or you can venture south on Michigan Avenue and explore Millennium Park, which has become a 24.5 acre crowning achievement for Chicago in the tradition of its original founders. No matter where or in what your interests lie, there is no end to what you can do in Chicago!
Be sure to save time for the ANA Friday night Roundtable Discussion and Saturday reception and banquet, which promises to be fun for all.
