Leave the City Behind at the Indian Lakes Resort
I spend a lot of time at city hotels, mostly in New York and Chicago, and they certainly have their appeal, but there are times when it’s nice to get away from the hustle and bustle and relax at a resort. It’s not often you can find a place like that near a major city, but the Hilton Indian Lakes Resort fits that category quite nicely. The Hilton Chicago/Indian Lakes Resort is centered about a half hour from both downtown Chicago and Chicago’s O’Hare Airport in the suburban town of Bloomingdale. It is a full service resort on 260 acres, offering a complete vacation even if you don’t want to go into the city. I stayed there recently with my friend Theresa Carter (aka, The Local Tourist ) and we proved that point. You can’t have a resort without a spa and the Spa Vargas fits the bill, with massages, body treatments, facials, manicures and pedicures available. They offer in-room services and specialize in spa parties. I went the private route, opting for a Swedish Massage in
