Located in the heart of Chicago's shopping and restaurant district, this newly opened hotel has much to offer including complimentary Wi-Fi and breakfast. Travel just a few blocks and find yourself at the city's top attractions! Not to mention the amazing city view (captured from our most recent stay).

Totally California Tour Review
13 departure dates to choose from throughout 2015!
...you're ok with staying 12-20 miles outside the city! ...you don't care to know what hotel you will stay at when you sign up for the trip!
...you're ok with limited time in the cities! ...the reputation of the company you travel with is not important!
Confused that we would start by telling you who this tour isn't designed for? Let us explain
Cultural Hi-Ways has been in the business of au pair travel for over 25 years. We understand your tight budget - but we also understand the crazy schedules, long hours with kids, the possible ups and downs of living with the family you work with and homesickness - we get it! This tour was not created with the lowest possible budget in mind, it was created with the au pair in mind.
This tour is designed for the au pair who...
...wants their vacation to feel like a treat - not work - not rushed!
...wants to stay in great quality hotels every night!
...wants their accommodation to be within WALKING distance to many of each city's attractions!
...wants an itinerary to follow and tips on what to see but also wants independence and freedom to enjoy their vacation and go do what they want to do!
...wants to spend their time in San Francisco, LA & Vegas -- doesn't want a lot of extra stops along the way to places of no interest to them!
...likes that nothing extra has to be paid if signing up alone! Cultural Hi-Ways is happy to place you in a room with 3 other guests of the same gender if you don't have anyone else to travel with - 99% of our guests are au pairs just like you!
Hotel Accommodation
Educate yourself -- if you sign up for a trip with a different company (gasp -- yes -- we know some of you choose not to travel with Cultural Hi-Ways!) where your hotel is not downtown -- how much will it cost you to take a taxi in to the city and how long will it take (have you heard about the traffic in LA)?
Know exactly where you are staying when traveling with Cultural Hi-Ways!
You will be staying just a 5 minute walk from the sidewalk of stars -- Hollywood Blvd. (see picture)! That means Dolby Theatre, Grauhman's Chinese Theater & the Hollywood and Highland Center are all within walking distance!
Opposite your hotel is the Miracle Mile shops at Planet Hollywood. Plus you'll be staying just a 5 minute walk from the famous Las Vegas Strip. Think Ocean's Eleven!
What our guests
have to say!
"I decided to do the Cultural Hi-Ways tour because of the great price and all the cities I wanted to see were included in this trip.
Everything was planned well and we had a great time!"
