With dozens of impressive museums boasting collections of historic and modern artifacts, a multitude of enthralling landmarks, fascinating architecture, decadent food, glamorous shopping boutiques, and dazzling entertainment, it's no wonder Chicago is the nation's third largest city, and one of the most popular!

Shopping in Chicago isn't for the lighthearted - it's serious business in a city with upscale stores and luxury retailers lining the Magnificent Mile, so it's a good thing you'll have a $500 gift card to get you on your way! Or take on the town by seeing your favorite theater show, musical production, sporting event or concert!

Go upscale in downtown Chicago at one of three premier hotels. The unique Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile, designed by French architect Jean-Paul Viguier is a 32-floor prism of glass providing opulent accommodations just minutes from the Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, Museum of Contemporary Art, Lake Michigan and many fashionable boutiques and restaurants. Swissotel Chicago, designed by renowned Chicago architect Harry Weese, is an award-winning, four-diamond, all-glass triangular luxury hotel ideally situated in the confluence of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. Putting you just steps away from exclusive shopping on The Magnificent Mile, with fabulous wrap-around views from Navy Pier to Millennium Park, Swissotel Chicago offers an exclusive setting with one of the city's most prestigious addresses. The Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park is blooming from a multi-million dollar refresh and boasts beautifully-appointed rooms with modern furnishings, expressive décor and artistry as well as Fairmont's award-winning service. Anchored by 400+ acres of protected park space in the heart of downtown Chicago, the Fairmont enjoys pristine views of Lake Michigan, Millennium and Grant Parks and the famous Chicago Skyline.

You may be tempted to splurge in one (or several) of the stores along the Magnificent Mile but be sure to save some energy for a shopping spree in Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's or Macy's, all leading national retail stores that share a passion for fashion!

Or take your pick of any sporting event, live entertainment show, musical, or concert - it's completely up to you! As one of the only US cities that has teams from the five major American professional team sports (baseball, football, basketball, hockey and soccer), Chicago is a sports fan's paradise, and the perfect place to tailgate! Chicago is also known for offering hundreds of festivals throughout the year, most of them music, and features legendary auditoriums to host a variety of concerts and theatrical productions. In other words, Chicago is the center of entertainment!
