Loop
Description
Officially known as downtown Chicago, the Loop is one of the most important central business districts on the planet and indeed the most important in the central United States. In addition to its dynamic architecture and buzzing atmosphere, the area has an incredible concentration of cultural institutions, urban park spaces, award-winning restaurants and a shopper's paradise on State Street.
Famous for its striking architecture, the Loop vaunts signature buildings by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Louis Henri Sullivan, as well as buildings from more modern day architectural geniuses. The area hangout, Millennium Park, complements its surrounding with stunning architectural marvels of its own. Nearby Maggie Daley Park and the Chicago Riverwalk are two more recent additions to the famous Loop.
