Im going to Cuba for Memorial Weekend but this would have been a great alternative. I always said im going to fly to Chicago just for deep dish pizza and this would be a great place to stay. Im loving the decor, great photo ops.
You really outdid yourself! This is a great idea for a quick weekend away. And a great time to visit Chicago, before it gets too hot!
There’s nothing like a staycation in your own city! I love staying downtown when I can, and I love feeling pampered by the hotel that I’m staying in! I’ve never stayed in the Renaissance, but it’s on my short list!
I live a few hours away*military life*. But we have been meaning to get to chicago. Love your post. Very detailed and less i have to think about lol.
The accommodations are breathtaking. I would love to sit on that rooftop and just chill!
Yeah, that’s the place for me.
I have no plan for Memorial Day weekend but the Renaissance Chicago is stunning. I would have a full on photoshoot in front of the taxi cab on the wall.
Right!? That backdrop is bananas. I’d be insta posing everywhere 🙂

Beautiful!!!! I have been to Chicago many times for church events but NEVER as a tourist…I cant wait to go as a tourist!!!
This place looks beautiful!!! I love the decor. If I am ever in Chicago, I will consider it
This hotel is beautiful!! Love love love! The hubby and I are planning a quick getaway this summer. I think I found our hotel
I’m so glad you like what you see Tomiko! Well if you and your hubby enjoy your stay, make sure you tell the general manager you heard about it from me 😉
It’s been years since I’ve been to Chicago but this post is enough to make me plan a trip to revisit. I’ll have to keep Memorial Day weekend in mind for the future.
I have never been to Chicago, but this post certainly makes it inviting. The Hotel is most stunning and it offers something for all. My husband and I will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this year. This certainly an idea. Thanks!
It really is a beautiful hotel. Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary!! Wow 20 years! We just celebrated our 15th last month 😉
I saved your post to my Pinterest travel board because Chicago is on the top of my list to visit. I live in the Detroit area so I am not too far from Chicago. I have always wanted to go and take photographs of the city.
I haven’t been to Chicago yet but I am SO determined to get there this year (preferably in the Summer). You are not helping me while I am trying to save some money! lol
I’m helping! Motivation. It’s all about motivation.
I haven’t been to Chicago in a while. I already have Memorial Day weekend plans, but I’ll definitely look into this hotel for when I go back.
I’m planning a trip to Chicago for the 4th of July. Well actually a couple of days later so that I can attend the Taste. Thanks for all of the great recommendations. Now I have so much to try to do in the few days that I’m there. Can’t wait!
Awesome! Oh that’s a great time to go. Have a great time!
