Doll Staycation

November 21, 2019

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of ​The Red Collection. As always, all doll-pinions are our own. 

Your bestie is the one by your side for laughs, happy hour, dancing, dress up – along with the tears and traumas all Dolls face in life. There are moments in life when you just can’t spend enough time with your best friend. These are the moments that call for a staycation! Caitlin and Danielle decided have found this unique budget hotel in a great location. The St. Clair Hotel is located just off the Magnificent Mile in downtown Chicago.

Situated in the heart of downtown Chicago, at the corner of St. Clair and Ontario, The St. Clair Hotel – Magnificent Mile sits just one block from the city’s premier destination for shopping and dining. Being walking distance from our favorite shops is just what we needed to start the day! After checking in, we headed over to our favorite shopping destination – Nordstrom! Yes… we are Nordy’s Dolls. We decided to get Dolled Up for the evening with Edith from Estee Lauder – one of our favorite makeup artists!

Caitlin and Danielle are wearing Madison Braid Headbands, Turtleneck + Skirts by Splendid x Margherita Missoni and Aldo boots.

The hotel is within walking distance to a some f the city’s most iconic attractions and activities including the 360 Chicago Observatory, Navy Pier, Tribune Tower, The Chicago Theatre and the infamous Chicago Bean. We took a short cab ride to a new Chicago restaurant, Flora Fauna. The food was to Doll for!

We were pleasantly surprised by the modern, fresh and clean accommodations at this hotel. The price point for this location is fantastic!

Not to mention this hotel allows one well-behaved pet, up to 45 lbs, per room. It was a no-brainer that our Doodle Named Dolly would accompany us for the slumber party.

All of our newly renovated and smoke-free rooms come standard with free WiFi, flat screen TVs, workspaces, spa-inspired bathrooms, pillow top mattresses and Seattle’s Best Coffee. Treat yourself and upgrade your stay to one of our Double King rooms featuring two king beds, a free Sleep Enhancing Kit and a customized “Windy City” welcome snack.

Our slumber parties some how always involve pillow fights, Britney Spears sing-offs, and talking about the guys in our lives! Will we ever grow up? Hopefully not… this is too fun!

Overall, we were so impressed with The St Clair Hotel. This was a great spot to lay our heads after a day of fun on the Mag Mile! We would also recommend this spot to out-of-towners who want to be close to the action. What are your favorite things to do in Chicago? Tell us in the comments!
