The Langham, Chicago

The Langham, Chicago, offers an urban wellness experience centered on Chuan Spa, where Traditional Chinese Medicine and its five-element philosophy inform the treatments and overall design. The spa features eight treatment rooms, dry and wet saunas, a eucalyptus sensory room, and inviting relaxation areas. Guests can also use the heated indoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center, which has cardio and strength equipment, a separate studio for yoga and Pilates, and personal training. Daily classes include yoga, Pilates, barre, and sound baths, though the schedule offers limited variety.

Floor-to-ceiling windows, natural materials, muted colors, and local artwork create a calm atmosphere throughout the hotel. The Chicago Riverwalk is directly accessible, with the lakefront and city parks nearby for walking and cycling. Dining includes some vegetarian and gluten-free options, but the selection is limited, and wellness-focused food is not a prominent part of the guest experience. Wellness amenities are concentrated primarily in the spa and fitness areas.
