Shimmering Sunsets at New Speakeasy on the Top Floor of Four Seasons Hotel Chicago

Four Seasons Hotel Chicago welcomes the return of Mile High Cocktail Club, a limited-time speakeasy experience. Taking the speakeasy concept to new heights, this 20-person experience is located on the Hotel’s top floor, making it the highest of its kind in the city. The lounge will be open to Hotel guests and Chicagoans through February 15, 2024.

This year’s cocktail lounge embodies all things golden hour, sunsets, and gilded glamour. From the forty-sixth floor of the Hotel, patrons can enjoy the highest guest views in the city, overlooking the iconic Magnificent Mile. The stylish space beckons guests to relish cocktails at the sunset’s edge with an inventive sundial-style menu centred on golden hours around the globe.

Upon arrival at the Adorn Bar on the 7th floor, guests are guided to the elevators equipped with a glass of Champagne and a sunset seeker guide to help navigate the experience and showcase golden hours across the globe. Perched in the clouds high above the city, the lounge delights guests with its deceiving Hotel room façade. The former guest room suite was reimagined by Kehoe Designs to capture eternal golden hour with hues of gold and orange reflecting off stunning metallic surfaces from golden disco balls suspended from the roof to the shining ochre bar top.

The bespoke beverage menu was designed for whimsical tableside finishes and interactive experiences for guests to enjoy while taking in some of the city’s famed architecture and dreaming of their next sunset adventure. Some of the libations include the Zanzibar-inspired Kili with notes of banana and allspice, the Santorini-inspired Thira with olive-oil infused Ketel One and rosemary-lemon sherbet, and the Scotland-inspired Mystic Island made with Hennessy and a touch of smoke.
