Sometimes all you need is a glamorous stay at a luxury hotel. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, we always took weekend trips to the city to enjoy a nice hotel and a good meal. Whether you’re coming from out of town or live near the city, these hotels are the best of the best.
Peninsula
The Peninsula is an integral part of Chicago life and is considered the top choice for everything from accommodation to celebrations. The world-class dining, hospitality and suites put this hotel on the top of our list. I also love grabbing drinks at Z Bar that looks over Michigan Avenue and Water Tower Place.

Pendry
You all know how much I love Pendry hotels. The Pendry Chicago, inside the iconic 1929 Art Deco Carbide and Carbon building, is contemporary, sexy and the perfect location for sightseeing Chicago’s best attractions.

The Langham
Located along the Chicago River, The Langham Hotel is all things luxury. The floor to ceiling windows give the most extraordinary setting for a weekend getaway.
Address: 330 N Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
Waldorf Astoria
The Waldorf Astoria Chicago has a Parisian-style charm in the Gold Coast neighborhood. This romantic, beautiful hotel has it all. Check out the spa for an extra treat during your stay.

Hoxton
The Hoxton is religiously my go-to. Once an industrial area, the Hoxton’s warehouse-style floor-to-ceiling windows show off the West Loop’s new creative atmosphere in full. Cabra, the Peruvian restaurant on the rooftop, is one of my favorite places in the city to grab some small plates and a cocktail.
Address: 200 N Green St, Chicago, IL 60607
