This past weekend the hubby and I were celebrating our 5th Anniversary. This is a milestone anniversary for the both of us, so we wanted to make sure we were able to celebrate it right. We planned a trip to Chicago and Loews Chicago Hotel helped make it special. For those that have never been to Chicago, especially by the Navy Pier, everything is tall and gorgeous. The Loews Chicago Hotel did not disappoint.
The first thing I do when I get into any hotel is check out their bed. At home, we have a queen size bed. Don’t get me wrong, I love my bed, but there is always something special about laying in a King Size bed when you’re away from home. The only downfall to laying on the bed as soon as we arrive in the room, I didn’t want to get up. It just hugged my body just the right way – which felt great after a 5 hour car drive.
Loews Chicago Hotel offers different room stay packages.
We were blessed with receiving the Romance Package. The hubby and myself went and had dinner after check in and took a little walk down to the pier. When we arrived back we were greeted by a beautiful arrangement sitting on our table. My heart just glowed. It made the evening of our anniversary just perfect! If you’re staying at the hotel for an anniversary, engagement, wedding, or special occasion between you and your significant other, I recommend upgrading to the Romance Package. You will receive a bottle of their Rose Champagne, 2 glasses and Chocolate truffles.
The Loews Chicago Hotel makes sure that you have everything you need – within easy access.
For those who keep up with their fitness routine, there is a great 24-hour fitness center. There is a full-length heated lap pool for those who enjoy swimming. And for those who are looking for a massage or some pampering, there is a spa to cover your needs. They are all conveniently located on the 3rd floor.
There are 2 different eating areas at the Loews Chicago Hotel.
You have the ETA Restaurant and Bar and then Streeterville Social. ETA is open for breakfast lunch and dinner. It is located in the lobby and open year-round. Streeterville Social is their Rooftop dining experience. They are open for dinner, pending on the weather. We did attempt to eat dinner there on our first night, but there was threatening rain, so they were open for just drinks only. They have recently started offering Brunch on the weekends from 12-3, for those who are looking for a nice outdoor dining experience.
Every Saturday and Wednesday Night through the summer, you can watch the Fireworks being launched from the lake. If you have a lake side view from your room, you may be able to watch them right from your window. If you do not, then I’d suggest talking a trip down Navy Pier to watch them. We did not know this until they started shooting off – and we had an amazing view from our hotel room to see them! Now knowing that they are a regular event I’ll still pretend they were shooting them off just for hubby and myself to celebrate our anniversary with.
Loews Chicago Hotel is the perfect spot to stay if you’re looking to experience a little of everything. You are within walking distance to the Navy Pier. If you love architecture, the Loews Chicago Hotel is
Wow – seems like a great location! I travel to Chicago frequently for business, so I’ve gone ahead and bookmarked this hotel on Yelp, so I can remember to stay there at some point :).
I once stayed at a Lowes Hotel in Florida. It was great, so nice and clean. I’ll have to keep this one in mind for our next Chicago visit.
Oh, I was spoiled by staying at the Loews in Chicago. I’m pretty sure the next time I go to Florida I’ll be looking at booking with Loews again.
I’ve never been to Chicago. I’ll keep this lovely hotel in mind if I make it out there!
I Wish our trip could have been longer in Chicago.
Chicago is such a fun city, and it looks like Loews is a great place to recharge and enjoy some relaxing down time during a trip. Thanks for sharing – the romance package looks wonderful!
I actually had tears come to my eyes with the Romance Package. It just reminded me of all the special that day held.
Sounds like you had a great Anniversary. The room looks beautiful and the champagne was a great touch. I’m with you, we have a King size bed and I love it!
It was the perfect way to spend our Anniversary. I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to visit Chicago, and stay at the Loews.
Wow, that place is gorgeous. It looks like it has that sort of classic, relaxed room that I love.
It was. I couldn’t have asked for a better room with a better view.
Clean is the most important thing to me and this looks spotless! My feeling is if they care enough to make the room sparkle, they are taking care of all the other little things too. Chicago is one of my favorite places to visit and this looks like a convenient location with a great view.
They were spot on with keeping the room clean!
This was my first time in Chicago and the Hotel stay was the icing on the cake.
Loews hotels do not disappoint. I spent my “babymoon” at one and their level of service and attention to detail was worth every penny. I’ll definitely be looking at staying here if I ever make it to Chicago!
That looks so beautiful! I want to go there now. I have been trying to plan a vacation and the Windy City might just be it!
That looks like an awesome hotel. I love the big inviting bed. The rooftop restaurant has a great view for fireworks.
Looks so nice. Chicago has always been a fun city for me to visit. I love the shopping at the Water Tower Mall.
