Front of the Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile
Well, after specifically saying that I had never been to Chicago, never visited there, and never shared any wonderful adventures there, now I have been there several times.
But not too many! Each visit has been during a different season and with different companions and each one has been quite lovely and different.
This trip was different from the others as I traveled with some women friends and we really enjoyed being together for a few days. We stayed in one of the nicest hotels in Chicago and were able to really relax and get some sleep. We had stayed at the Embassy Suites Lakefront on one of our previous visits and we knew we loved Embassy Suites but the Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile was quite an experience. Not only did they have their absolutely fabulous hot prepared to order breakfast every morning, it was an easy walk to just about anything we wanted to see. Breakfast was a completely lovely spread of food which included a hot bar where they made pretty anything your little travelin’ heart could desire. Which for me was an omelet every single morning. Every. Single. Morning. It was quite, quite lovely.
Parking is separate from the hotel in a different area which is easy and close by. We pulled into the front entrance to the hotel to unload and were completely entranced with the wall art which runs along the entire wall. The art is composed of wonderful, bright colors and local kids from the area helped with the painting.
Just one section of the wall mural.
The lovely hotel people helped us unload our scads of stuff and directed a couple of our group where to park while the others in the group headed inside to wait on them. Then we gathered all our stuff and headed upstairs to our wonderful, wonderful suites. They were kind enough to provide us with two fabulous suites which worked and we had great night sleeps every night, then awoke each morning to prowl around and see the beautiful city.
We had a separate living room which was large and quite fabulous.
Fabulous living room area.
We were able to spread out and my sister-in-law was kind enough to sleep on the hide a bed couch while I sprawled out on the bed all to myself. Wonderful!
Fabulous bedroom!
We relaxed, got a great night’s sleep and then gorged ourselves on the wonderful breakfast. Then we grabbed an Uber to where we were supposed to catch a fabulous boat trip around the city to see all the sights. Marvelous! The Chicago Architecture Foundation River Cruise is a wonderful way to see the city and I wrote all about it on another article here. It’s a great way to spend your first day and plan where you want to return.
We took a bus tour the next day and hopped off anywhere we wanted which include a long shopping trip and plenty of other stops where we could hop off, walk around as much as we wanted, and hop back on.
We absolutely loved every minute of our visit to Chicago and got great meals every night which were mostly just a short walk from the hotel. The hotel people was absolutely wonderful and helpful and I got to meet Dan Techman who had arranged our completely fabulous stay.
We loved every single minute of our stay and would love to visit an Embassy Suites in whatever city we visit next. I totally and unhesitantly recommend them!
