6 Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Chicago 2019

We are halfway in January, and a month away from Valentine’s Day! I know for some people every day is like Valentine’s Day, but for those who are looking to impress their loved ones this Valentine’s Day, I have come up with the list to celebrate Valentine’s Day in Chicago. I hope you and your loved one have the best time together this coming Valentine’s Day in Chicago.

Ideas to Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Chicago

Dinner & Dance at Celeste

Celeste is one of the romantic restaurants in Chicago. Celeste offers cozy, romantic and intimate atmosphere, featuring three floors with different menu and mood.

I would recommend you to reserve a table on their second floor, the glamorous, for dinner! The second floor has very limited tables so if you are planning a date on this Valentine’s Day in Chicago then I insist you to reserve immediately.

At Celeste, kitchen is open until 3:00 am, so take your time to enjoy drinks and dance! Make sure to ask about timings at the time of reservation. The Celeste has been recognized as “River North’s Sexiest 5 AM Bar” on Chicago magazine.

For backup plan, if you do not get table at Celeste then I would recommend you to check out Geja’s Cafe for dinner.

Dinner Cruise on Lake Michigan

Plan your evening with Odyssey dinner cruise on Lake Michigan. Odyssey dinner cruise features 2-3 hours cruise on Lake Michigan with 3-course plated meal. Make your loved one feel special by taking her/him out on Lake Michigan for a fine dining, complimented with the most breathtaking views of Chicago skyline.

Guest also get unlimited non-alcoholic beverages including coffee, hot tea, iced tea and water. These dinner cruises on Lake Michigan tends to get sold out pretty quickly as it approaches Valentine’s Day, so I recommend you to reserve a spot on one of those dinner cruises in Chicago.

Tilt! And Signature Lounge

360 Chicago has built TILT, Chicago’s newest thrill ride. If your loved one is into adventure and thrilling experience then plan an evening at TILT, followed by drinks and dinner at Signature Lounge on John Hancock building.

TILT is an indeed thrill ride, Yes, tilt outward over 1000 feet on Magnificent Mile. TILT features unique, downward facing views from 1030 feet up from the building.

After finishing ride, you can stroll around the area or straight head upstairs at Signature Lounge for drinks and dinner.

As we all know, Orchid flowers and romance are directly connected. Plan a tour to Botanical Garden this Valentine’s Day with your sweetheart to see Orchid show. Yes, it’s cold outside but unwind inside the warm greenhouse among orchids.

This year Botanical Garden’s Orchid show features the spirit of islands, beaches, and rainforests in places like the South Pacific and the Amazon. You and your sweetheart will be surprised to see over 10,000 orchids at Botanical Garden, and of course you can make her feel special by buying one plant for her at Botanical Garden.

After your visit, you can head to Old Orchard Mall for a dinner at Uncle Julio’s to enjoy the Mexican food and some margaritas!

I recommend you to buy tickets online for Botanical Garden Orchid show before planning a visit.

Spa at Dana Hotel – Unwind & Relax

Surprise your sweetheart with spa package at Dana hotel in Chicago. You really do not need to book hotel room at Dana hotel to get Spa service, but it’s not a bad idea! Being located near Magnificent Mile, you will have plenty of dining and shopping option..

Dana hotel’s spa has been recognized as one of the Best Spa on Allure Magazine. The Spa at Dana Hotel features Himalayan salt walls in Saunas that helps remove impurities.

I would say, one of the best experience to have on Valentine’s Day at Dana hotel’s spa with soothing music, relaxing scents and surroundings. You must book an appointment in advance to secure your spot.
