Four Seasons Chicago

"Four seasons goes above and beyond for families"

A hotel where you can order up an ice-cream man right to your door?   No kidding, he came up to our room with tubs of ice-cream and all the toppings that kids (and mom and dad) will go wild over.  Now that's what I call a kid-friendly hotel.  The four seasons treats their little guests as well as their adult guests offering them the same kind of four seasons pampering in pint sizes - kid-size bathrobes to to a full in room dining menu with many options that kids like.

If you decided not to lug along your stroller, you can always borrow a radio flyer wagons or stroller.  Older kids will love that they can order up a wii. The only trouble with the Four Seasons is that you might not be able to tear your kids away for some sightseeing.

The location is wonderful right off Michigan Ave near the Water Tower for great shopping.  Rooms are also spacious.  On the downside, the Four Seasons is very pricey as one might expect and the pool was pretty cold.  One of the big reasons that we picked it is because we wanted a hotel with a pool but our little ones didn't want to get in because they are used to warm pools.
