The end of the year is always a stressful time of the year, you have to deal with the weather, the holidays and more than likely a couple family members who may or may not annoy you to your core. The holiday season is meant to be a great time of the year, but that’s not always the case. Sometimes you just need a break from the “fun” of the holidays, and lucky for us we live in a great city that provides plenty of options to get away while staying put. I have rounded up some great holiday packages being offered by some amazing Chicago-area hotels. So find one of these packages you love and enjoy some much deserved time to just sit back and de-stress.
