sofitel and taste of chicago

hi everyone,

we will be visiting chicago for the 4th of july weekend and staying the sofitel. how near/far is that hotel to the tast of chicago festivities? walking distance? cab ride?

we have been to chicago a few times before, first time staying at sofitel. if i remember correctly, this may be a bit of a walk...but your help is appreciated!

It%26#39;s about a 25 minute walk from your hotel to the Taste. It%26#39;s just over a mile. Walking directions - http://www.hopstop.com/?city=chicago

You can also take a southbound #147 bus along Michigan Ave. www.transitchicago.com for public transit information. There%26#39;s a trip planner function on the home page. A CTA visitor pass might come in handy for your visit.

It is a bit of a walk, but a nice one. Probably take you a half hour. You can either just walk south down various streets until you get to the park or walk east to the lakefront and walk down to the park that way. Alternatley, you are close to the red line subway stop that will drop you in the loop, a few blocks from the park or you can take a number of busses down that way too. A cab would run you about $5 and would take less than 10 minutes.

thanks! we stayed at the marriott on mag mile last memorial day for our trip, it was nice, but got a great military discount for sofitel that we couldnt beat - and its also close to the breakfast cafe that we loved.

now that i think about it, we walked from marriott to the restaurant by sofitel, whose name escapes me, so we should be fine.

always love walking in chicago, but wanted to make sure it was realistic walk, or if we would need public transport...

cant wait to visit again this year!
