Luxury hotel with refined rooms, rooftop terrace, and spa
"I stayed in the Wellbeing Suite at Park Hyatt Chicago on the Magnificent Mile the night before and after a half marathon, and the space felt more like a very upscale apartment — a large living area with a Lake Michigan view, a Tonal machine, a minimalist zen-like bedroom with a Bryte Balance bed, yoga mat and bench, and a massive bathroom with a walk-in rain shower and standalone tub. On arrival I found juice shots, nuts, and fresh fruit, which felt like a major upgrade; in-suite services included an in-room DripIV administered by a registered nurse (vitamins B12 and C, Magnesium, Lipostat, and Glutathione) that I found quick and mostly painless, produced a cooling/taste sensation as it infused, and seemed to reduce my postrace creakiness within hours (Stephanie said effects last 24–36 hours). I also had an 80-minute Grounded massage at the hotel’s NoMI Spa that used heated basalt stones and a heated table, with focused work on my neck, shoulders, lower back, and legs; afterwards the spa offered juice or Prosecco and access to the sauna and indoor pool. Back in my suite I used an ice bath (a short cold-plunge protocol; the hotel charges about $100), which felt instantly invigorating and helped wake me up without wetting my hair. Note that bookings for these services must be made within three business days of your stay (Drip Hydration has a 24-hour cancellation policy), and prices listed in the piece were $275 for the 80-minute spa massage ($315 in-room) and DripIV options starting at $249. Overall, the combination of in-room IV, a grounded heated-stone massage, and an ice bath left me moving normally much sooner than usual after a half." - Madison Flager
"I enjoyed its position overlooking the historic Water Tower on the Magnificent Mile, where luxe design and warm hospitality feel aimed at well-heeled travelers. The suites feature open-air terraces, oversized living spaces, and spa-inspired bathrooms with heated floors and rain showers; book the DuSable or Lake Michigan Suite for lake vistas. Reimagined rooms favor layered textures and camel tones and include Le Labo bath products and an oversized soaking tub. For wellness I appreciated the Wellbeing and Mindfulness Suites with sound machines and, in the Wellbeing Suite, a private Tonal smart gym. Don't miss Nomi, the signature restaurant with panoramic views and a standout seasonal menu." - CNT Editors
"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
"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
