Winter Wonderland Fairmont Lodge

CHICAGO –Fairmont Chicago is gearing up to transform its lounge into the enchanting Fairmont Lodge, a central hub for immersive experiences throughout the upcoming winter season. This magical transformation features festive decorations that will envelop visitors in the cozy winter spirit, a thoughtfully curated selection of specialty programming, an inventive seasonal food and cocktail menu, and meticulously crafted overnight packages for an unforgettable stay.

Fairmont Lodge extends a warm invitation to guests, encouraging them to embrace the season with family and friends, whether they’re visiting from out of town or treating themselves to a staycation in the city. Conveniently situated between two of Chicago’s most iconic destinations, Millennium Park and the Magnificent Mile, The Lodge offers guests a unique opportunity to seek refuge in the Fairmont Lodge’s warm atmosphere.

“What sets Fairmont Lodge apart is our deep commitment to providing an exceptional “après ski” lodge experience for our guests. We believe that celebrating the winter season sets off the tone that deserves to be celebrated in a unique and heartwarming setting,” notes Clay Spencer, General Manager of Fairmont Chicago. “That’s why we’re excited to bring Fairmont Lodge back for a third year, building on the resounding success of the previous seasons. Our lobby will again transform into a cozy retreat from the Chicago cold, featuring exciting new events, artisanal drinks, and specialty culinary packages.”

As guests immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Fairmont Lodge, they’ll discover a new cocktail menu titled “Do You Cheers What I Cheer?” featuring a range of delightful libations.

Fairmont Lodge will be open daily from 5 p.m. to Midnight through December 31. Live entertainment will be featured weekly from Thursday to Saturday. Please note that hours of operation may change after the New Year, and Fairmont Lodge will be open on Christmas Day.
