Chicago in winter can be a gray, dreary place, unwelcoming to both residents and visitors. Then, spring comes and … it snows again. Eventually, the weather does take a turn for the better and everyone remembers why they live in the Second City and why it’s a great place to visit. From a ballgame at Wrigley Field to a stroll down Michigan Avenue, Chicago in (late) spring and summer is a city alive and full of color.
New spring packages from the InterContinental Chicago offer the chance to enjoy the city at its finest. The “Chicago Cubs Wrigley Rooftop Experience” provides the cool experience of watching a Major League Baseball game live from a rooftop across the street. Quite enjoyable. With an open bar and food included, it’s much easier to accept the Cubs blowing a five-run lead.
For non-baseball fans, the “American Girl Package” includes a welcome letter, disposable camera to capture your Chicago trip, an American Girl take-home doll bed and breakfast for two at Zest restaurant with a sure-to-be-enjoyable American Girl-themed trivia game. The “Magnificent Mile Shopping” package includes two $50 American Express gift cards, a coupon book and breakfast for two at Zest to fuel your day’s bargain hunt.
