Enjoy breakfast at our European-style café, Pierrot Gourmet, then<br />

hop into one of the Peninsula’s complementary chauffeur driven Mini<br />

Coopers to take in the sights of the city. Stop off and enjoy the view at<br />

the top of the John Hancock Observatory and then hit Oak Street for<br />

some fabulous shopping. Drop by Millennium Park en route to lunch<br />

at The Lobby. Then take a Peninsula Academy Chicago Film Tour<br />

CONCIERGE, TRUMP INTERNATIONAL HOTEL & TOWER<br />

Phone: +1 312 588 8000<br />

Begin your day with a morning run along Lake Michigan followed by<br />

breakfast at M. Henry. Afterwards, enjoy a Romance and Relaxation<br />

package at The Spa at Trump; the side-by-side infinity bath and<br />

massage with champagne is a must. Spend the afternoon watching a<br />

concert in Millennium Park’s Pritzker Pavilion with a special catered<br />

picnic by Pastoral. Afterwards, drop by the Art Institute of Chicago<br />

before hitting the shops; men head to Haberdash, and ladies get<br />

something custom made at Borris Powell’s Studio. Complete your<br />

perfect day in Chicago with cocktails at The Terrace at Trump followed<br />

by a private dinner on the Lady Grebe, with fireworks bringing the<br />

night to an explosive finale.<br />
