There's simply no better place to shop in Chicago than the Magnificent Mile, the world-famous stretch of Michigan Avenue between the Chicago River and Lincoln Park up North.
Packed with history-steeped landmarks such as the John Hancock Building (which houses the famed Observatory on the 94 th floor) and the 1925 masterpiece Tribune Tower (home to the Pulitzer prize-winning Chicago Tribune), the Magnificent Mile brings you close to the hottest shopping, dining and nightlife in Chicago.
The vertical shopping centers at Magnificent include Chicago Place , 900 North Michigan Shops, Water Tower Place and Westfield North Bridge .
For those looking for top brands, the Mag Mile doesn't disappoint. Stores such as Banana Republic and Bally can be found here, rubbing shoulders with The Beach Club, FAO Schwarz, The Gap, Petite Sophisticates, Polo/Ralph Lauren, Rochester Big & Tall Clothing and Tiffany & Co.
From swanky megastores to branded outlets, unique boutique shops and exciting seasonal events - the Magnificent Mile lives up to its name - and fame!
Some of Chicago 's finest hotels are just a few blocks away. From the familiar Holiday Inn City Center at E. Ohio Street to the elegant Club Quarters and Hyatt Regency Downtown at Wacker Drive. The Hyatt Regency Downtown brings you within 1 block of Wringley Building , with the romantic Buckingham fountain just 7 blocks away.
From Michigan Avenue , turn right into State Street , where the Embassy Suites Downtown holds court. More incredible shopping awaits you at the famous Marshall Field's at the corner of State and Randolph . With 11 stories and an opulent Tiffany dome, Marshall Field's is a treat for every shopper.
On nearby Clark Street , check out the Blue Chicago Store featuring historic memorabilia, music and artwork. Don't miss their popular Saturday-afternoon shows.
Art Enthusiasts should check out the imposing Chicago Cultural Center on E. Randolph , an ode in marble-and-mosaic to numerous concerts, shows and art exhibits staged here. The Cultural Center has a popular shop with an exciting collection of arts and artifacts reflecting Chicago 's diverse culture and historic past.
A popular landmark on Clark Street , the Days Inn Gold Coast takes you deep into the heart of famed Lincoln Park , a bustling but primarily residential area.
For a dash of glamour in a spectacular setting, Oak Street shopping can't be beat. Top designers making their presence felt on Oak Street include Giorgio Armani, Barneys New York, Jil Sander, Sonia Rykiel and Ultimo. Oak Street shopping provides the added attraction of the sparkling Lake Michigan and the imposing Chicago skyline for a scenic backdrop.
There's more to whet your appetite for shopping at Merchandise Mart, not far from the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza on Orleans Street .
Near the Chicago River , check out top flagship department stores such as Marshall Field's, Carson Pirie Scott and Sears, which make up the State Street shopping experience. They say that the way to a woman's heart passes through Chicago 's Jeweler's Row, where you can find some of the finest diamonds and precious stones in the Midwest .
With your feet screaming and your arms aching, the Embassy Suites Downtown ( N State Street ) provides a welcome reprieve. Stash your booty in the convenient in-room safe, put your feet up and call the folks back home to tell them of the “big surprise” that awaits them upon your arrival. Before they have a chance to ask you, pretend to remember something important and hang up. Half the fun of shopping, after all, is in the suspense. |
