After brunch, consider spending time in the communal lounge spaces, where the spirit of community thrives. The multi-level sky deck and resort lounge seating provide a unique setting for relaxing and connecting with neighbors. If fitness is part of your holiday tradition, make use of the 3,000-square-foot fitness center or join a complimentary wellness class in the yoga studio—an excellent way to embrace balance amid holiday indulgence.

Bundle up and stroll to Lincoln Park, just steps from your door, where winter landscapes and lake breezes create a classic Chicago Christmas atmosphere. The neighborhood’s boutiques, cafes, and parks provide endless inspiration for holiday walks and seasonal photo opportunities.
