Three Perfect Summer Days at Four Seasons Hotel Chicago

Summer in Chicago is best experienced from the heart of the Magnificent Mile, where lakefront adventures, world-class dining and curated experiences come together effortlessly. From mornings spent at the spa to evenings aboard a private yacht beneath the city skyline, every moment is thoughtfully designed by our team.

Day One: Discover Chicago Like a Local

Morning

Begin your stay with a leisurely brunch at Adorn, where seasonal flavours and vibrant dishes celebrate the best of summer. Then, transform your suite into a private boutique with the exclusive Style and Stay with Alice + Olivia experience. Prior to your arrival, share your style preferences with the team, and an Alice + Olivia stylist will curate a personalized collection delivered directly to your guestroom. Enjoy a private styling session as your suite becomes your own luxury dressing room, perfect for refreshing your wardrobe or finding the ideal look for a night out in Chicago.

Afternoon

After your styling session, stroll through the nearby boutiques of the Magnificent Mile before returning to the hotel to collect a beautifully curated picnic prepared by our culinary team.

Escape to Chicago’s lakefront for an afternoon in Lincoln Park. Set beneath the shade of century-old trees, enjoy chef-crafted sandwiches, seasonal salads, fresh fruit, house-made desserts and chilled beverages while overlooking Lake Michigan. After your picnic, explore the park’s gardens, lagoons and walking paths before returning to the hotel.

Evening

Toast to your arrival with cocktails at Adorn before experiencing The Season Is Served, an exclusive three-course prix fixe menu celebrating the peak of the Midwest’s summer harvest. Executive Chef Brent Balika and Executive Pastry Chef Yudith Bustos Taleno showcase locally sourced seasonal melons through thoughtfully composed dishes, from Lioni burrata with shaved melons and elderflower to roasted branzino with grilled watermelon, culminating in a refreshing Summer Melon Pavlova.

Day Two: Wellness & Waterfront Luxury

Morning

Ease into the day with a restorative spa treatment at The Spa at Four Seasons Chicago. Continue your wellness experience with time in the vitality pool, steam room and relaxation lounge before enjoying a peaceful afternoon beside the hotel’s indoor pool overlooking the city skyline.

Afternoon

Board the exclusive Four Seasons Chicago private yacht for an unforgettable cruise along Lake Michigan. Take in iconic views of Chicago’s celebrated architecture, relax on deck with champagne and chef-prepared refreshments, or simply soak in the sunshine as the city unfolds from the water.

Evening

As dusk settles, watch Navy Pier’s spectacular fireworks illuminate the Chicago skyline while enjoying elevated cocktails, curated bites and unparalleled views from the lake, a quintessential Chicago summer evening.

Day Three: Beach Day & Farewell

Morning

Spend the morning at nearby Oak Street Beach, just a short walk from the hotel. The Four Seasons team can arrange everything needed for a seamless beach experience, from towels and refreshments to recommendations for paddleboarding, swimming or simply relaxing along the shores of Lake Michigan.

Afternoon

Return to the hotel for a leisurely lunch and one final afternoon enjoying the pool or exploring Chicago’s lakefront trail. For those looking to indulge in a little last-minute shopping, the boutiques along Michigan Avenue are only moments away.

Evening

Conclude your summer escape with sunset cocktails overlooking the city before departing with unforgettable memories of Chicago’s vibrant lakefront, exceptional culinary experiences and the thoughtful hospitality that defines Four Seasons.
