24 Hours in Chicago
Morning
Breakfast at The Allis
Let’s kick off the day at The Allis, where we can sip on the most perfect latte while nibbling on fresh pastries and enjoying the West Loop. Their avocado toast? A must. It’s chic, cozy, and a little fancy—all the right ingredients for a relaxed morning.
The Art Institute of Chicago
After breakfast, let’s head over to the Art Institute of Chicago for a private tour of its world-renowned collection. We can marvel at iconic pieces like Grant Wood’s "American Gothic" and Monet’s Water Lilies in one of the most prestigious museums in the world.
Midday
Lunch at The Signature Room at the 95th
It’s lunch with a view at the Signature Room at the 95th in the John Hancock Center. The views from up here are mind-blowing, and the food’s not too shabby either. Lobster bisque? Check. Steak? Double check. We’re dining high in the sky.
Afternoon
Spa Day at The Peninsula Chicago
Some well-deserved pampering. We’ll hit the spa at The Peninsula Chicago, where we’ll melt into a Himalayan Salt Stone Massage. Perfect way to recharge.
Shopping on Oak Street
Post-spa, we’ll stroll down Oak Street—Chicago’s playground for luxury shopping. Whether we’re window-shopping or treating ourselves (both?), it’s the perfect afternoon indulgence.
Evening
Cocktails at The Aviary
Before dinner, we’ll head to The Aviary for some pre-dinner magic. This isn’t just any cocktail bar—it’s a cocktail experience. Think drinks served in ice spheres or with unexpected twists. It’s part science, part art, and all delicious.
Dinner at Alinea
Then, we’re off to Alinea for an unforgettable three-Michelin-star meal. Chef Grant Achatz’s tasting menu is basically edible art, with dishes that surprise, delight, and even interact with us.
Stay: Four Seasons Hotel Chicago
And when it’s time to turn in, we’ll retreat to the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago. With its plush beds, lakefront views, and five-star service, this is where we’ll end the day in total decadence.
