Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park invites travelers to experience Chicago this summer with outdoor concerts at Millennium Park and an exclusive luxury picnic option.
The five-star hotel’s “Chef In The Park” package is designed for couples who want to celebrate a special occasion without the stress of planning an upscale outdoor meal. It combines a personalized menu, professional preparation, and attentive service for a memorable evening.
As part of the package, guests take part in a pre-event menu consultation. During this meeting, couples meet with a member of Fairmont Chicago’s executive culinary team and a special event manager to design a picnic tailored to their tastes. Options include freshly prepared salads, antipasti, or sushi selections from Aria Restaurant, ensuring a refined dining experience that reflects each couple’s preferences.
On the day of the concert, the chef prepares the chosen items before the event. When the performance begins, the chef departs and a member of Fairmont’s banquet team remains to oversee final details and ensure everything runs smoothly. Guests are then free to enjoy the concert and depart at their leisure.
The Chef In The Park experience starts at $600 for two guests and includes hotel parking. Situated downtown, Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park recently completed a five-year, $60 million renovation. The hotel occupies a convenient location near Grant Park and Millennium Park and is within easy reach of major attractions such as the Art Institute and the Field Museum, the retail options along the Magnificent Mile, and Chicago’s lakefront.
This offering blends luxury hospitality with the energy of Chicago’s summer concert season, making it a relaxed yet elegant choice for couples seeking an intimate celebration with minimal planning required.
