Four Seasons Chicago
While all rooms are done in the clean elegance of mid twentieth century French décor, Four Seasons Chicago features all of the modern amenities like LCD flat-screen televisions, cordless phones, and wireless internet access. The beds at Four Seasons Chicago are triple-sheeted in the finest of linens, and are complemented by a bevy of down pillows. All rooms and suites at Four Seasons Chicago overlook views of either Lake Michigan or the Chicago skyline. The accommodations also contain spacious marble bathrooms.
Well-read travelers will love the Author’s Suite, on the 46th floor, which is home to the Four Seasons Chicago’s extensive literary collection. It includes personalized copies of books by each author who has stayed here, from Anne Rice to Oliver Stone. This spacious two-bedroom suite overlooks Lake Michigan and provides great views of the Chicago skyline. The living room features a full-sized sofa, easy chairs, a fully stocked private bar, and a stereo/entertainment system. Another highlight is the Presidential Suite, which occupies the corner of the 46th floor and provides breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. This spacious suite features a living room that can comfortably accommodate nine guests, a dining room that can seat eight, a full kitchen, two fully stocked private bars, and two full marble bathrooms, one with a deep soaking tub done in pink marble, a separate glass-enclosed shower, and a flat-screen television.
The splendid spa at the Four Seasons Chicago features individual treatment rooms which have been soundproofed to ensure utmost peace and privacy, a wet treatment room, an aesthetics room, and a manicure/pedicure suite. The spa offers unique and innovative treatments like the Mimosa Champagne Manicure and Pedicure. This treatment uses champagne grapes containing antioxidants to detoxify and hydrate skin. The treatment includes a mimosa sugar scrub for gentle exfoliation, a mimosa moisturizer and toner to soften and purify skin, and complementary champagne and strawberries afterwards. Or try the royal bamboo massage, in which the round, smooth, and firm texture of bamboo sticks are used to relieve muscle tension while improving circulation.
Under a glorious domed ceiling and surrounded by elegant Roman columns, the gorgeous indoor swimming pool at Four Seasons Chicago basks in natural sunlight and is attached to a whirlpool. There are also saunas and steam rooms to relax in after your swim. The fitness center features state of the art cardiovascular and free weight equipment to ensure you’ll be feeling at your sharpest while staying at the Four Seasons Chicago. On-site personal trainers can show you the ropes at the gym or guide you on a jog along the shore of Lake Michigan. As an added bonus, the gym overlooks Chicago’s renowned ‘Magnificent Mile,’ so you’ll have plenty of scenery to enjoy while working out, or while jogging around the indoor track.
The grand fountain on the seventh floor marks the location of Seasons Restaurant at Four Seasons Chicago, an opulent dining room that serves a delightful mix of French and North American cuisine. The chef’s table is an interesting feature in which your party can dine behind the scenes in the heart of the kitchen with executive chef Kevin Hickey and watch as the gourmet courses are prepared right in front of you. Enjoy the views of Chicago’s bustling avenues as you dine. The posh lounge is consistently a popular destination for both afternoon tea and evening cocktails accompanied by the relaxing sounds of live piano. Also of note is the sophisticated Four Seasons Bar, where guests can enjoy cocktails, wine, and hors d’oeuvres in a remarkably elegant setting that feels more like an exclusive club than a hotel bar. It even has its own humidor!
Just a block down from the Four Seasons Chicago is the towering John Hancock Center, where you can take a speedy elevator to the 94th floor to the observation decks which provide panoramic views of the entire city and Lake Michigan. Some locals say that the view here is better than the one from the more famous Sears Tower, and the lines are definitely shorter. Walk one block further and you’ll find the Museum of Contemporary Art, which features extensive collections of minimalism, surrealism, and other modern art in a comprehensive environment.
