“The Sono Chicago, a boutique hotel nestled in Old Town, presents an intimate alternative to larger downtown options. I appreciate the free parking permit and the communal kitchen; perks that enhance the home-away-from-home feel. Its rooftop terrace seals the deal, offering striking skyline views-a memorable spot to unwind.”
