Matt and I went to use some of his free rooms at the Four Seasons this weekend, and I am totally ruined for hotels for the rest of my life. We were upgraded to an executive suite on the south side of the building (35th floor) that had views straight down Michigan Ave. Even better, the lighting fesival parade thingee was on Saturday, so everything was lit up and glowing.
I am a total sucker for useless decadence, so I went hog wild for the first 30 minutes we were there....
"There is a phone next to the toilet! We can order room service from the potty!"
"2 TVs?!?!?"
"OMG, look at all the tineeee tineeee bottles in the minibar!!!!"
"Robes and slippers?!???!?!"
Over the course of 24 hours, we managed to rack up almost $200 in room service, and that didn't even include any booze. Just all food. And it was delivered to the room on a tiny table like in pretty woman, and the room service guy set up the whole table and pulled up the chairs. It was insane.
Yesterday, we went down to the pool, which might be the craziest pool I have ever seen (picture on the Four Seasons site here) The dome in the center of the pool has a huge skylight that looks amazing at night. As an added bonus, they have a small lounge next to the pool where you can relax, eat some oranges, and drink the best orange juice I have ever tasted in my life. Matt says it normally costs an arm and a leg ($6 a glass) because it is fresh squeezed daily and to order.
Overall, it was totally insane and awesome. Next time, I will try to bring my camera to capture the experience batter, because it absolutely stunning and hard to explain.
Its so funny how rich business people just go there to sleep all of the time and don't even check out the pool or amenities.
