The best way to spend a long weekend in Chicago

Short on time? That doesn’t mean you can’t make an escape to take a much-needed break from everyday life. In fact, you can pack plenty of luxury into a weekend if you plan accordingly. The trick is to spend as little time traveling and as much time enjoying yourself as possible, because when time is limited, every second counts.

One of my favorite spots for a getaway is Chicago. It feels close to home because it’s easily accessible through O’Hare International Airport from almost any point in the US. Stay in the city in an upscale hotel, and you’ll be in close proximity shops, excursions, and dining galore, plus the posh accommodations ensure you’ll be soaking up luxury through the entirety of your trip.
