Set on a quiet residential street just off Chicago's Magnificent Mile, the premiere shopping destination in the city, it's hard to top the location of the Four Seasons. Take the elevator from the street to the lavish seventh floor lobby and then a second elevator to your room and the city opens up before you.

The suites on the higher floors offer exceptional views of the entire John Hancock Building, Oak Street Beach, and the vast waters of Lake Michigan. In the morning, open the shades to a sunrise over the lake. In the afternoon, during warm weather months, peer out to see sailboats gliding on the water and people biking on the trail that hugs this mighty lake.

Even better, the resort goes over the top to make families happy. Upon arrival in your room, you'll find a stuffed animal, cow-shaped cookies, chocolate milk, a bucket of popcorn, books and games. In the bathroom, a footstool helps kids reach the confetti-soap that fills the sink, while bubble bath and bath toys ring the tub and plush kid-sized terrycloth robes hang waiting for little ones to dry off in.

Want more? An actual ice cream man comes to your room between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. with his rolling cart and selection of vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Add toppings of freshly made whipped cream, Oreo chunks, gummy bears, Reese's Pieces, and Hershey's chocolate and strawberry sauce. There's even a butler who comes up to tell bedtime stories, and kids have the option of using a Radio Flyer on your walks around Chicago. And what a family-friendly city it is; one where the signature dishes are deep-dish pizza and the Chicago-style hot dog.
