"Following a $60 million renovation, this Magnificent Mile landmark at 800 North Michigan Avenue presents a refreshed urban-living-room lobby, an updated library, and an art program spotlighting Chicago creatives. The hotel offers 146 rooms and 36 suites redesigned with restrained sophistication, a multi-concept signature restaurant (NoMI Kitchen, NoMI Garden, and NoMI Lounge with a sushi bar), and a holistic spa featuring a 25-meter lap pool; the Mindfulness Suite includes tech-forward comforts such as an AI-powered Bryte Balance bed, a deep soaking tub, and an open-air terrace." - Heidi Mitchell
"A $100,000 inauguration package with Champagne-and-caviar welcome perks, marketed as a high-end, lavish way to mark the occasion." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Located on the Magnificent Mile, Park Hyatt Chicago offers a suite of wellbeing services for travelers, including amateur athletes. The hotel features a Mindfulness suite and a Wellbeing suite, each equipped with health-focused amenities such as Bryte Balance beds and Tonal machines."
"Overlooking the historic Water Tower in the heart of the Magnificent Mile, this luxury hotel has gained a loyal following of celebrities, A-lister locals, and well-heeled travelers over the years for its luxe design and detailed, warm hospitality. The hotel unveiled a $60 million renovation last year, adding 23 new suites, refreshing their dining spaces, and debuting their own art gallery. The hotel’s newly designed suites feature details like an open-air terrace, oversized living space, spa-inspired rain showers, and epic views (book the Dusable or Lake Michigan Suite for lake vistas). Reimagined guest rooms, replete in layered textures and camel tones, carry updated elements throughout, as well. Guests can use the integrated media hub and its advanced tablet system for requests and in-room dining—all a preamble to some evening R&R (complete with Le Labo bath products and an oversized soaking tub). On the wellness front, book the Wellbeing or Mindfulness Suite, which are outfitted with sound machines and (in the Wellbeing Suite) fitness equipment." - Elaine Glusac, Nicole Schnitzler
"If you’re looking to stay blocks from some of the best steakhouses in Chicago, consider the Park Hyatt on Michigan Avenue. This newly renovated hotel is steps from some of the best shopping on the Magnificent Mile and just a few blocks from Gibsons and Maple & Ash — two of Chicago’s top steakhouses. Alternatively, we’ll never discourage a night in — at this property, you can feast on sushi or a seafood tower at the on-site restaurant NoMI." - Meena Thiruvengadam
