Living in our Chicago condos opens up a world of luxury and excitement. The location of Lakeshore East literally puts the city at your feet, and the possibilities for entertainment are limitless. Of course, it can all be a little overwhelming, so if you are overwhelmed by the endless potential this city has to offer, we’ve put together a little list to help you out. Follow our advice, and you’ll be living life to the nines in the Windy City!
RENT A LUXURIOUS CAR
Chicago is the perfect city for a drive. With beautiful architecture, more than seventy unique neighborhoods and the breathtaking Lakeshore Drive snaking its way along Lake Michigan, driving around can be heaven on Earth. Obviously no one wants to take a spin down Lakeshore Drive in a car that would’ve been perfect for Cash for Clunkers. In fact, opening up the magnificent power of a Porsche 911 Carrera S or the regal understatement of the Mercedes S50 AMG – 07 (or, if you’re feeling wild, the herculean engine of the Lamborghini Gallardo) would be just the ticket. Well, at Chicago Exotic Car Rentals, you can do just that. Or try Exotic Car Share or Curvy Road and own a time-share in certain luxury cars. After you put yourself behind the wheel of a timeless automobile, you’ll be living the high life and everyone will be watching as you zoom by in these acerbic beasts.
TAKE A VACATION IN YOUR OWN CITY
While owning one of our Chicago condos really can’t be beat, sometimes it’s nice to step away from your own home and take a trip … in your own city. And what better city to explore than Chicago. No matter how familiar you are with our downtown locale, there is always more to see. The city is bustling with people, activities, excitement, laughter—it is alive—and it has so many undiscovered gems that aren’t always obvious without a new perspective. A great place to find a home away from home for a night or two is The City Suites Hotel, The Majestic Hotel and the Willows Hotel, all of which are part of the City Inns of Chicago.
After you’ve found a place to stay, check out some of the finer restaurants in the city, such as Cook-au-vin, which offers “the delicacies and spirit of French cuisine.” Or try some new world Asian cuisine at aria. Then, of course, there is the unique Alinea, where you will be guided through twelve to twenty-four courses, many consisting of just a bite. The hyper-modern restaurant is the place to be. Find yourself in the midst of everything, where everyone—tout le monde—is mingling, where things are happening without even ever having to leave your city.
TAKE ON SOME HIGH-END SHOPPING
Sometimes the best way to live the luxurious life, to be part of tout le monde, to be where things are happening is to take your car from your hotel, before your meal, and find what to wear for the evening, how to dress to the nines for the your dining experience at Everest on the 40th floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange.
The best place to start out is Chicago Place on Michigan. Anchored by the understated elegance of Saks Fifth Avenue and filled with shops of all sorts, you’ll feel like you just stepped onto 5th Avenue itself without ever leaving Chicago.
Of course, Water Tower Place offers both national brands and local shops Chicago, so if you can’t decide exactly what you’re going for, it has the place for you somewhere in its stunning eight-level atrium.
When you’re done with living the glamorous life, tired of being where things are happen, bored with being part of tout le monde, then you can return to your Chicago real estate and settle in for relaxing night of (and maybe a good old-fashioned Old Style), and enjoy the comfort of your beautiful Lakeshore East home.
