Best Spas in Rogers Park

"That this 60-story stunner in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood was modeled after a 1920s Parisian grand dame tells you all you need to know about the kind of romance you'll find here. (No wonder so many weddings are booked here year-round.) Talk about an entrance: cars pull up a brick-paved driveway and deposit guests at the entry of the chandelier-lit, velvet-couch-lined white marble lobby. Upstairs, guest rooms are even more glamorous—think pops of platinum and gold, furnished terraces, black granite fireplaces‚ and huge soaking tubs—as is the spa, where you can indulge in a lava-shell massage."

"Richly appointed guest rooms with sophisticated furnishings, fireplaces, and massive bathrooms welcome guests at the Waldorf Astoria Chicago. Situated in the Gold Coast neighborhood, this five-star, pet-friendly property offers 215 elegant rooms and suites with balconies overlooking the Lake Michigan shoreline.

"While Donald Trump is making headlines, the real story is taking place at his international hotel.

"On Chicago’s streets the name “Trump” is polarising, but within the real estate mogul/reality TV star/president’s arresting 92-floor tower, it’s all business. The hotel goes above and beyond in services and amenities and is home to Sixteen, one of the city’s best restaurants."

"401 North Wabash Avenue, River North, Chicago, Illinois, 60611. Trump International Hotel and Tower is a 98-story mixed-use condo-hotel skyscraper in downtown Chicago next to the main branch of the Chicago River. It is currently the 7th tallest building in the U.S."

Whether you’re looking for a conventional bowl or ramen or something a bit more adventurous, Kim has something you can enjoy by the spoonful."

"Restaurants Vegan River West/West Town. House-made seitan is the base for most menu items at Upton’s Breakroom, a bright little café attached to Upton’s Naturals, a company that makes seitan and sells it in stores across the country. The café has a plentiful menu, including a tofu-seitan banh mi, a BBQ jackfruit sandwich and Korean tacos with housemade kimchi."

"Head on down to Seitanville and grab some vegan comfort food and the famous soy-based ice-cream!.

"Upton's Breakroom sits below Upton's Naturals, a natural-based food business out of Chicago. The company's focus is on vegan diets and meat alternatives, so it's only fitting that the Breakroom's menu would be completely vegan. Fried bacon mac and burgers (all meat-and-cheese free!) await you in West Town!"

"Amitabul, which means ‘awakening’, is a truly unique option in a sea of extraordinary dining options. A menu of vegan Buddhist Korean cuisine offers bright and nutritious dishes in a tranquil setting but it is the backstory that will captivate you before you’ve even tasted their divine creations. Every dish cooked up by Chef Bill Choi brings with it a little bit of his history."

"Amitabul takes traditional Korean techniques and merges them with Western tastes to create health-conscious and delicious vegan food. With items ranging from jade maki sushi to the cold buckwheat noodle salad to even the all-vegan pizza, you will leave full and satisfied."

"It might seem like an ordinary barbershop but tucked away behind a false wall is a dope speakeasy that’s super popular amongst Chicago locals. And it’s not your average nightclub: the dance dance is tiny and the space itself is pretty small. But the ambience is unparalleled with stylish seating and trendy decor."
