A wellness haven on the Chicago River | In a city where space comes at a premium, The St. Regis Spa Chicago splurges where it matters. The 12,000-square-foot wellness floor is a holistic haven towering above the Windy City, affording its guests spectacular skyline views from every vantage point. Workouts are a breeze when you can watch city life bustle below your feet and nighttime laps are made magical in a pool illuminated by city lights.

Paying homage to its forebearer — the Iridium Room at the original St. Regis New York — the Chicago spa welcomes you with echoes of art deco glamour in a sleek marble lobby. Further inside, the glitz and glam evolve into cozy-chic cream walls, curved lines and comfortably soft fabrics that seem to warm you to your core. And when it comes to treatments, sumptuous offerings featuring French Sothys products will to lull you into a well-deserved state of relaxation.
