  • We are in our early 30s if it matters
  • Prefer to stay on/near Michigan Ave / Miracle Mile
  • Will spend most time shopping, dining, possibly catching a show or two
  • Budget not a concern, want to stay somewhere 4-5 star

I am an AmEx Platinum holder with access to their FHR, which is currently running a "third night free when you book 3+ nights" deal on Four Seasons, Waldorf Astoria, Park Hyatt, and Ritz Carlton - so I am thinking one of those may be the ticket, unless there is some other option I can't overlook.

Any other info to help?

Any suggestions based on this?

Thank you!
Just a tip: Chicago is home to the "Magnificent Mile." Searches for the Miracle Mile will throw you off, since that's in LA. I'd probably narrow it down to the Waldorf (located a few blocks from Michigan Ave./the Mag Mile), Peninsula or Park Hyatt.
