Conde Nast readers again voted Chicago the Best Big City in the U.S. --- again.

Chicago is celebrating Tuesday morning."We really have felt the energy coming back," said Lynn Osmond, with Choose Chicago.RELATED: Fall travel getaways across Illinois

"One of the things they quoted was the hospitality of Chicago, so I think it really looks well on our hospitality workers and our residents because they are welcoming and Conde Nast travelers really took that in," Osmond said. This summer visitors came back in droves, driving up hotel demand. In June, July and August alone, the demand exceeded 3 million room nights.

"We're almost 90% at 2019 levels, and we have to think that 2019 was a record year, and we've never had numbers like that before, so we're 90% of that," Osmond said. The good news continues, as more and more conventions are booking in the city, too, bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors back to Chicago.

As long as you’re not shot or robbed leaving Chicago.
