I debated even getting a cocktail until I landed on the “The Waitlist” (me on the waitlist- psshh!) and I knew it was a match. My eyes immediately went to the cocktail list, despite that fact that it was the middle of the day on a Wednesday.

Once we sat down, it got that much better. Audio commentary omitted for good reason. Our server literally set the wings on fire at the table. When they say “flaming”, they mean it in the literal sense. While the views, the service, and the collection was all top notch, perhaps the most memorable moment of our stay occurred when we ordered the flaming wings at the hotel bar. The Langham is also very proud of the curated art collection, which is displayed everywhere throughout the hotel. No, I didn’t have the heart to tell these sweet staffers that the “B” stands for Buckman (although R would sing a different tune…). Long” and EVERY TIME I had to stop myself from turning to look behind me for the person they must be addressing… yes, I am that slow on the uptake. The service is so attentive that everywhere I went people were referring to me as “Mrs. The Langham also offers the best service of any US hotel that I’ve experienced and the dining options are must tries. The Langham Chicago offered us the most beautiful room with a perfect view of the new Trump Tower and the river.

We were stationed at the Langham (my choice and I nailed it!) - STAY HERE when you go to Chicago. I literally can’t stop gushing over Chicago’s many lovelies to anyone around to hear: clean streets (biggie!), a beautiful riverwalk, and the ARCHITECTURE! I could have walked around all day just looking up, but alas, the weather forced me inside to the spa by midafternoon.

We’re definitely in the infatuation stage of the love cycle. We were there for two nights and the weather was less than stellar, rainy but not windy… irony?! Manhattan is windier than the Windy City… Come on people! Regardless, I absolutely LOVED the place!! Couldn’t get enough! Chicago is, in my humble but typically accurate opinion, the MOST beautiful city that we have to offer. Chicago is one of the few US cities that I had never visited so I was thrilled to explore it. R has to work and I have to get out of the city every now and again (emphasis on NOW and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!) and blame it all on Roberto. Holy MOLY ~ I’m in LOVE and I don’t care who knows it! I recently had the opportunity to travel to Chicago for a “business” trip.
