When it's summer in the city, sometimes it makes sense to flee to the surrounding suburbs, where the temperatures are cooler and you can find plenty of open spaces to enjoy the refreshing breezes. To make your suburban escapes just a little bit easier this summer, Starwood is offering special low rates for Westin properties in suburban Chicago. Escape to Suburban Chicago and enjoy rates starting at $119 per night for stays at the Westin Chicago North Shore, the Westin Chicago Northwest, and the Westin O'Hare, while rates at the luxurious Westin Lombard Yorktown Center start at just $129 a night. So for a little more than a tank of gas, you can indulge in the many amenities of this premiere hotel, from its fitness and spa facilities, indoor heated pool, and Westin WORKOUT gym to the sun deck, jogging path, and nearby golf courses. Enjoy a healthy and delicious seafood meal at Holy Mackerel!, where no fish is ever frozen. Or else indulge in one of the best steaks in town at Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse, which has been designated "Official Home Plate of the Chicago Cubs." If that's not a ringing endorsement of Chicago-area cuisine, I don't know what is. For more information or to make a reservation, visit Westin's Suburban Chicago homepage, and don't forget to enter the Westins of Suburban Chicago Sweepstakes to win a Westin Heavenly Bid. This is how it should feel.
