Glamorous

The word of the week is: FASHION. Since Macy’s Glamorama 2009 is coming to the Chicago Theatre on Friday, here are a few ideas on how to spend a weekend with fun, fashion and food.

Start your weekend on Thursday night at Enclave Nightclub, one of the swankiest, trendy clubs in downtown. Located just a short taxi from the hotel, every Thursday night they hold a “F.A.M.E.” event – Fashion + Art + Music + Entertainment. Each week, different designers will model their clothing line right on the dance floor while the DJ pounds the music. They have hosted such designers as Ed Hardy and Chicago’s own Akira. Models, fashion, drinks, dancing, and music make it a great time – at least until they close at 2 a.m.

On Friday, the Chicago Theatre will host Macy’s Glamorama 2009, a night of fashion and music benefiting Ronald Mc Donald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. Macy's will once again set the stage in style with a fashion and entertainment extravaganza that fuses famed musical headliners, such as Ne-Yo, New Standard and Jadyn Maria, with the latest in fashion from American, European and Contemporary Designers. You can keep the party going by purchasing a ticket package that allows access to the elaborate post party on the 7th floor of the Macy’s State Street store.

After two nights of partying, let our Concierge Desk arrange a variety of spa services – such as manicure, pedicure, massage and facial. We can arrange any service in room or at one of the area spas. Once you’re finished, let us arrange a private shopping tour at one of the shops on Michigan Ave. – places such as Bloomingdales, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus or Banana Republic have designers on staff to help with every fashion question or suggestion.

Lastly, after a day of shopping on the Magnificent Mile, finish your weekend with dinner at Follia in the West Loop. Follia is a contemporary Italian restaurant serving everything from thin crust pizza to homemade pastas made fresh daily. The food is complemented by their monthly showcase of up and coming designers displayed in the front windows – making it feel like you’re truly in Milan. This month’s designer is Tel Aviv Couture – a talented, innovated and stylish display of Israeli fashion designers. If you like what you see, we can always arrange an appointment at their downtown showroom.
