Above the Fulton

Perched high above Chicago's Fulton District, this apartment makes the most of its elevation – the light-filled living room frames the skyline in a way that earns its place at the top of any shortlist. The real draw is rooftop access: a shared pool terrace and cabanas sit above the city, making it easy to spend an afternoon drifting between the water and the shade of a pergola with tower blocks rising around you. Back inside, three bedrooms, a private balcony, and in-unit laundry mean longer stays feel extra comfortable.

Home truths:
* Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
* At full occupancy, you'll need to make use of a rollaway bed here. We think it's best suited to children.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a Pack-n-Play travel cot. You'll need to request it in advance.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, sundeck, rooftop lounge, games room, fitness centre, movie theatre, and conference room here. They're shared with the building's other residents. The availability of some amenities may vary seasonally and some may incur an additional fee.
