The Loop offers six blocks of exhilarating retail, restaurants, live music, café culture, and even a Walk-Of-Fame. A century ago at this location, streetcars from downtown “looped around” to return to the city, which gave the area its name.

Hotel reservations can be made at the Moonrise Hotel or Comfort Inn for a reduced rate. A limited block of rooms is available, so make your reservations early.
