Description

We think Chicago is a pretty amazing vacation destination and we're pretty sure you do too. Nestled right on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan, the windy city (not called that because of gale force gusts, despite what conventional wisdom would have you believe), Chi-Town is steeped in history and architectural grandeur. A top-notch culinary scene, shopping, the Sears Tower, check out a Cubs game...and that's just from the first few lines we found on Chicago's wikipedia page!


And we haven't even started talking about the Raffaello. One of the city's best and most luxurious hotels.


Stay in style...with a complimentary deluxe accommodation for two nights to be used towards your stay.


Then proceed to a once-in-a lifetime experience...Dinner at Alinea Restaurant with wine pairings. The World's 50 Best Restaurants say, "Alinea might just be the blueprint for the restaurant of the future, but fortunately we’re allowed to eat there now. Chef-patron Grant Achatz (rhymes with jackets) has entirely rethought the eating-out experience: bite-sized dishes are suspended by wires and some creations are even served directly onto the table; the food is techniqueled, using gels, foams, powders and concentrations, all served in a slickly modern interior. An extraordinary man and an extraordinary restaurant."


Alinea has been on the "50 Best Restaurants in the World" list sponsored by San Pellegrino for the past 6 years. It’s latest position is #6 in the world. The current Zagat rating is a 29 and it received 3 Michelin stars this year.
