The Drake Hotel | Chicago, USA | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Chicago, USA

4 stars

The Drake Hotel is in the finest location in Chicago, situated at the very tip of the Magnificent Mile Neighbourhood, and located right in front of Oak Street Beach overlooking Lake Michigan. It hasn’t lost any of the glitz or traditions which drew in Chicago’s glitterati for its grand opening on New Year’s Eve in 1920, and in the decades which followed. It still hosts High Tea, with its delicate petit fours and fragrant teas now served in the appropriately decadent Palm Court. You can still dine (and drink) at Coq d’Or, the city’s second venue to get that all-important liquor license after Prohibition ended in 1933. A milestone on The Magnificent Mile, with direct access Lake Michigan’s Oak Street Beach, be prepared for drama, history and luxury.

“Go-To Spot For My Family”

Nov 24, 2025Mackenzie K

My family and I had a great stay. From the minute we showed up, we were waited on hand and foot by the bell captain, the front desk graciously greeted us, the maid service was thorough and the employees were kind, and everyone on the food and beverage staff was spectacular, knowledgeable, and charming. They have a great team at The Drake and my family has made it our go-to spot to stay.
