Park Hyatt Chicago

"Located on the Magnificent Mile, Park Hyatt Chicago offers a suite of wellbeing services for travelers, including amateur athletes. The hotel features a Mindfulness suite and a Wellbeing suite, each equipped with health-focused amenities such as Bryte Balance beds and Tonal machines."

"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

"If you’re looking to stay blocks from some of the best steakhouses in Chicago, consider the Park Hyatt on Michigan Avenue. This newly renovated hotel is steps from some of the best shopping on the Magnificent Mile and just a few blocks from Gibsons and Maple & Ash — two of Chicago’s top steakhouses. Alternatively, we’ll never discourage a night in — at this property, you can feast on sushi or a seafood tower at the on-site restaurant NoMI." - Meena Thiruvengadam

"Found on the seventh floor of the Park Hyatt Chicago , just footsteps from the bustle of Michigan Avenue, NoMI Spa may be the Mag Mile’s best-kept secret. Though the spa initially debuted in 2010, it reopened this past summer as part of the hotel’s $60 million renovation, seeing its own updates and refresh. Longtime patrons are pleased to know that the wellness destination’s dedication to warm hospitality remains the same, as does its approach in luxurious, well-rounded care. Choose from four scents for treatments, including Revive Morning (citrus and wood tones with grapefruit oils and rosemary), Muscle (cooling and aromatic with notes of lavender and ginger), Light Relax (sweet and floral), and Support Equilibrium (notes of frankincense and geranium). The team also uses product from Manhattan-based emerginC Skin Care and, most recently, Body Butters by GorjusWhips (for the seasonal Bourbon Body Bliss polish)." - Nicole Schnitzler

"The Park Hyatt Chicago , facing ever stiffer competition from newer luxury hotel entries in the Magnificent Mile orbit, nevertheless remains a great choice for families because of the central location optimizing sightseeing and kid-heaven treats. Budding geologists will love thegeodes, minerals, and marine fossils in the lobby alcove. Chefs at the seventh-floor NoMI restaurant, known for fine wines, city views, and standout American contemporary cuisine, take young foodies to the open kitchen’s soft-serve ice cream dispenser. The 7,000 square foot fitness center includes a 25 yard lap pool with skyline views, or borrow a complimentary Jamis commuter bike to ride the scenic Lakefront Trail four blocks east on the beach side of Lake Shore Drive. Guestrooms have notable design flourishes such as padded window seats, Eames chairs, and Mies van der Rohe–designed Brno desks from which to view the city’s famous architecture.Pets are welcome, and the hotel donates 100% of its standard pet fee to one of the city's largest animal shelters."
