Booking a staycation<\/a> right after the new year has begun sounds kinda bad, doesn’t it? Then, allow me to rephrase: let’s set up a wellness retreat in Chicago at one of our favorite luxury hotels. After all, our new year’s resolutions included being more mindful and focusing more on ourselves, and an indoor pool, pampering spa, and a full-size gym all sound like a good way to stay on top of our 2023 wellness goals.<\/p>\n

Dive into the rich culture of downtown from the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel and enjoy not one, but three unique exercise options for everyone to keep their bodies moving while traveling. Feel like braving the winter cold? Run a few laps around the outdoor track and warm up post-run in the steam and sauna room. Spend the afternoon shooting hoops on the full-size basketball court or burn those calories in the indoor swimming pool. Don\u2019t leave without stopping by the tranquil lifestyle garden that provides a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the day.<\/p>\n
