Located on famous Michigan Avenue, the Le Meridien Chicago places guests right in the heart of Chicago's business center and within an easy stroll of Nordstrom's, an elevator ride from the Northbridge Mall and a half mile hike to Lake Michigan. Families and other guests will love the 20 mile lakefront path perfect for walking, running, biking or skating. They can rent bikes and in line skates at several beachfront locations.

What's more, this being Chicago, plenty of dining options will satisfy every culinary whim, from steak to sushi and saki. Guests should definitely scope out the hotel's Cerise, the airy dining room featuring French inspired cuisine for adults and hot dogs, pizza, and macaroni and cheese for kids. Before or after dinner, the curved granite bar at hotel's Le Rendezvous is the perfect place for martinis, champagne or specialty coffee.

Guests also can work out in a fitness center and get work done in the fully stocked business center. The hotel also offers discounts to a nearby athletic club, which features a pool, personal trainers, exercise classes, salon and spa services await.

Back at the Le Meridien, guest rooms offer panoramic views of Chicago and feature decor in honey tones and Merlot accents. Amenities include executive desks, cordless phones, high speed Internet access, plush bathrobes, slippers, CD player, minibars, refrigerators and safes.

Stylishly dressed business travelers appreciate the quick half mile trip to the Loop, while leisure guests love the Michigan Avenue address and proximity to Chicago's best shopping. Guests with romance on their minds can ask concierges to order horse pulled carriages for blanket covered rides down Michigan Avenue and the Magnificent Mile. Go ahead, kiss her. Go ahead, kiss him back.
