Item Description
The Chicago city motto means ‘City in a Garden’, a tribute to its historic reverence for parks and gardens that has fully blossomed in the past few decades. This package for 2 people includes 2-nights at the elegant Hyatt Regency Chicago, personal tours of Chicago’s parks and gardens, an architectural boat tour, a visit to Willis Tower’s Skydeck, and a gourmet picnic dinner at Millennium Park during a Grant Park Symphony summer concert.
The Hyatt Regency Chicago with unrivaled services will be your luxurious home while in the Windy City. This sophisticated, contemporary AAA Four Diamond hotel offers incredible restaurants including Stetsons Modern Steak + Sushi, BIG Bar, and The Living Room. It is steps away from Navy Pier, Lake Michigan and the Magnificent Mile. Hyatt is a civic partner in the beautiful landscapes and institutions that make Chicago world-class.
Among Chicago’s verdant assets are 29 miles of protected lakefront including 23 beaches, 8100 acres of parkland, 2 lush conservatories and the ‘Emerald Necklace which connects Olmsted-designed parks, including Jackson Park, host of the 1902 World’s Fair, with 30 miles of landscaped boulevards. Enjoy tailored tours of gardens and parks on your bucket list, led by Edith and Chicago Park District ambassadors.
In the evening, enjoy a sensory treat- a concert under the stars, in view of the sparkling skyline and lakeshore by the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra. David will pack a delicious homemade picnic dinner for you. Finally, on your own, enjoy a boat tour down the Chicago River to take in the city’s remarkable architecture and a meal of famous, deep-dish pizza.
Item Special Note
This tour is hosted by AIB board member, Edith Makra and her husband, David Kusnierz. As a former mayoral aide, Edith helped Chicago’s greenest mayor, Richard M. Daley, bring verdant beauty back to Chicago. David is an arborist and gourmet cook. Hyatt graciously donates the exquisite lodging.
