Chicago, IL

The windy city has so much to offer during the summer months. Catch a ball game at Wrigley Field, soak in the sun at Oak Beach or attend one of the many outdoor festivals. To get the true feeling of being on vacation, check into the hip Hard Rock Hotel located on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile (312-245-1000/hardrockhotelchicago.com). For the music lover, their suites offer a complimentary mini iPod that are pre-programmed according to your musical tastes for use during your stay. And with one of the city’s most popular new restaurants, China Grill Chicago, located on the first floor and the ROCKS bar in the hotel’s lobby, you’ll never need to leave your hotel for a night out on the town! After dinner at the restaurant, head over to ROCKS which transforms itself after 10pm into a fashionable scene with local bands and DJs. As an added plus, ROCKS is the only bar in Chicago to serve drinks and food until 4a.m. So party hard all night knowing your bed is only an elevator ride away!
