On Friday and Saturday evenings take the opportunity to indulge your sweet tooth at the celebrated ‘Chocolate at The Pen’ chocolate bar, which offers an array of chocolate delicacies. The 19th and 20th floors of the hotel are devoted to health and fitness with Asian-inspired treatments at the Peninsula Spa, an impressive fitness centre and a half-Olympic sized swimming pool overlooking the beautiful city of Chicago.

The best times to visit Chicago are during the spring and autumn seasons, when temperatures are mostly warm and pleasant. With a host of festivals and events taking place, summer is the most popular time to visit Chicago; temperatures can be variable due to heat waves, humidity or strong breezes from Lake Michigan. Extreme cold temperatures can be expected from November to March, meaning visitors can benefit from excellent offers from hotels during this period.
