Christmas was in the air at the Drake! Valet parking was simple with unlimited in and out privileges for $75 a day. Everyone from valets to doormen to checkin staff was super friendly. Lots of room service options. Beautiful Executive Suite! Amazing views of Lake Michigan on 4th floor. Very walkable to part of Michigan Avenue. Loved the free bottles water. The flower/gift shop was adorable! Overall great stay! Will have to do tea at the Palm Court next time!
