elysian rendezvous



I'm about to get really obnoxious
as I was s.t.o.k.e.d. to discover this place.

Parisian hotel lobby, perhaps?

Lucien LaGrange

MAIS NON!

It's the fabulous
E  l  y  s  i  a  n
in Chicago.

C'est magnifique!



188 guest rooms
averaging 889 square feet.
No other downtown hotel
boasts private terraces.



 
Located steps from Oak Street
and Michigan Avenue shopping.

While the Eiffel may not be viewable...


this skyline will be!



Did I mention I just booked a suite
at this lovely boutique hotel?



Oui!


Two restaurants here:
Ria
and
Balsan
(named for Etienne Balsan,
who financed Coco Chanel's
first shop)


BTW it's for a girly spa getaway with sister Jo,
not a romantic rendezvous.

FUN and deliciousness
are on the agenda.

Also spontaneous Windy City frolicking.




The 4th floor boasts a
*deep exhale*
14,000 square foot spa.

Will this blogger ever leave the 4th floor?


Je ne sais pas.
No chlorine here.
It's all about the saline for our skin and hair.
Where's my robe?????










A TV in the mirror is always a good sign.


Have we seen enough images of the Elysian?

Never!
