With Hotel Blake's friendly, impeccable service, your Mom will be pampered the way she deserves and made to feel as if she's a VIP guest. As part of a special Mother's Day Package, you can customize your Mom's stay by choosing between a Just-for-Mom flower arrangement set up in her room pre-arrival; a $100 credit towards in-room spa services; or a three-course Mother's Day brunch at the critically acclaimed Custom House Tavern.

With an infinite number of possibilities to choose from, your Mom will be able to fill her big-city getaway with activities that fit her interests -- all of which are just a short distance from Hotel Blake and easily accessible on foot, by public transportation or cab. Here are some activities that Mom can enjoy:

  • Indulge in some shopping therapy by browsing among the shops in the South Loop, strolling through the stores along State Street and MagMile.
  • Go see the experimental and inventive artistic works of Henri Matisse on display for the first time in a groundbreaking exhibition at the nearby Art Institute of Chicago.
  • Tour Chicago's popular museums and attractions, such as the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium and The Shedd Aquarium.

This dining establishment, which features delectable contemporary American cuisine from James Beard nominee, Executive Chef Aaron Deal, is housed in an elegant, comfortable but formal glass-walled space that reflects the vibrant Chicago architecture of the South Loop.

After a long day, Mom can retire to her luxurious, private oasis with warm, jewel-toned hues and richly finished woods along with 12-foot vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Step into the separate, exquisitely decorated bathroom, featuring modern amenities like an oversized rain showerhead and luxurious bath products that bring the spa experience into the privacy of your room.
