Pin ItRiver City Casino and Hotel, St. Louis
The strawberries were a nice touch. We were already mostly in love with this beautiful, luxurious hotel but when they kindly delivered chocolate covered strawberries to the room, we fell head over heels.

Pin ItHyatt Regency McCormick Place Chicago
Even though Chicago is only about a six hour drive from us, we just discovered this fabulous place in the last year.
