All You Need is Love
Gentlemen, the Elysian did the work for you—all you need is love to complete this ultimate Valentine’s Day package. A car and driver will pick you up (anywhere in the Chicagoland area) and whisk you away for a night in a Premier Gold Coast Suite, where, upon arrival a beautiful bouquet awaits. Cozy up to the fireplace with your sweetheart, then, head to RIA, two-star Michelin restaurant, for a romantic, four-course dinner for two. During dinner, surprise your beloved with a gift of either an afternoon of beauty at the Elysian Spa or a shopping excursion with our renowned fashion stylist. Before settling in for the evening, enjoy an after-dinner toast in Bernard’s, the intimate hotel bar. Wake to breakfast in bed or in Balsan and head to the spa for relaxing Elysian massages, the perfect ending to the perfect getaway.
