Traveling to Chicago during winter time doesn't sound like a good vacation. The city however has plenty of museums, a vibrant restaurant scene, and a multitude of shopping areas to browse through, all of which may make for a pleasant getaway.
According to Conde Nast Traveler magazine, if that isn't convincing enough then maybe a free shopping spree could be the right incentive. The Fairmont Chicago is offering guests a $100 gift card for for each night of their stay.
The hotel, located in downtown near Millenium Park, is hoping to lure travelers by offering them a free $100 gift card from Saks Fifth Avenue for each paid night. Guests can come up with a reason to brave a sub-zero weekend with a shopping spree.
The $100 gift card offer is per room not per person. Prices for rooms start at $199 excluding taxes. The deal runs until December 30 of this year. Travelers can wait instead till the summer or fall to take advantage of the offer if they do not wish to visit Chicago during winter.
The Fairmon is in an ideal tourist location at 200 N. Columbus Drive near Millenium Park. After visiting a snow-covered Millenium Park, tourists can take a light walk to the "Cloud Gate" sculpture, which is also called the Bean. They can then stroll on to the Art Institute of Chicago and then onto the theater district.
Shoppers can find Saks at 700 N. Michigan Avenue, a few minutes drive away from the Fairmont. It is located along the Magnificent Mile of Chicago where shoppers can find anything they want from Max Mara to Uniqlo.
The Fairmont has a fully decked-out spa to retreat to after a morning spent outside in the cold weather. Staying in one of the city's best hotels is making a vacation in Chicago sound like a good idea.
The Los Angeles Times newspaper reports that in-room Wi-Fi is $13.95 per 24-hour period. Valet parking is $70 a night. There is no other alternative option for parking. The Fairmont President's Club program can give perks such as free in-room Wi-Fi and late checkout time. Joining the loyalty program and not bringing a car are very good ideas for maximizing one's stay at the Fairmont Chicago to take advantage of their Saks Fifth Avenue gift card promo.
