Plan a Real Chicago Celebration at The Drake Hotel
As the Magnificent Mile comes aglow with the twinkly wonderment of the season, so do holiday celebrations at The Drake Hotel. When planning your winter adventure to downtown Chicago for a holiday tea, shopping, and merriment, it matters where you stay.
Since the hotel’s opening party on New Year’s Eve in 1920, we have continued to be a holiday fixture celebrating over 100 Christmas seasons in Chicago. Decorating our historic hotel to the nines, with a grand foyer welcoming Christmas tree adorned with beautifully handcrafted decoration, Gingerbread Village constructed by our pastry team, holiday-inspired floral installations, holiday carolers, harpist, and over 150 colorful holiday-themed flourishes throughout to warmly welcome you.
