Chicago, nicknamed the “Windy City,” is the biggest city in the Midwest. In addition to being the biggest city in the Midwest, Chicago has an even bigger personality. If you’re looking for the perfect place to escape with your girlfriends, look no further than Chi-town.

 

Stay in Chicago

Spectacular views of Chicago await you at the whimsical and renowned ACME Hotel Company Chicago. As a Conde Nast 2021 Award Winner, plus voted #10 top hotels in the Chicago area, the hotel is meant to impress you and your girlfriends. Grab a suite with two queen beds and a city view for the ultimate escape. You’ll only be steps away from Miracle Mile, and you can grab cocktails right in the hotel at The Berkshire Room or the Bordega.

 

Shopping in Chicago

The Magnificent Mile is only steps away from your stay at ACME Hotel Company Chicago and it’s a paradise for shopaholics. With more than 450 retailers, including flagship stores, department stores and three shopping centers, there’s a spot to shop for everyone.

 

If you time your trip right, you can catch the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival, the largest nighttime parade in the U.S., drawing over one million celebrants along Michigan Avenue.

Dine in Chicago

Brunch is a must in Chi-town and brunch at Summer House is all the vibes. With a light and airy aesthetic channeling Cali sunshine, don your favorite flowy dress and floppy hat to nosh on Crispy Strawberry Waffles or a Prosciutto & Egg Pizza. Save room for dessert. Follow the rainbow and treat your squad to The Original Rainbow Cone. For almost 100 years, it’s been a Chicago tradition to stack five ice cream flavors on a cone: orange sherbet, pistachio, palmer house, strawberry and chocolate.
