The Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel’s
Holiday Celebrations, 2009


The historic Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel welcomes you to the best destination in downtown Chicago for the holidays. Located in the gateway to the Magnificent Mile, the Knickerbocker is near Water Tower Place, John Hancock Tower and Navy Pier and offers accessibility to all the city’s landmarks and attractions to make your holiday season memorable.

We invite you to kick off the official holiday season with us on November 21, 2009. Before attending Chicago’s 18th Annual Magnificent Mile Lights Festival, join us in the hotel lobby which will be transformed in to a magical holiday setting complete with Charles Dickens carolers from 2:00pm-5:00pm along with complimentary hot apple cider, eggnog, and assorted petit fours. The hotel’s culinary team will showcase a gingerbread replica of the Knickerbocker Hotel made environmentally friendly with green roof and solar panels and roof-top herb gardens.
