Welcome to Well, Then, taking a look at the biggest news and trends when wellness and travel intersect.
Wellness travel and gig-tripping — planning entire vacays around concerts and festivals (Lollapalooza) — are more popular than ever.
Now, thanks to the St. Regis Spa Chicago, the two are joining forces in the chillest, bougiest way possible.
On Aug. 3, the last day of Lolla, Chicago’s only Forbes 5-Star spa is hosting Rhythm & Light — a floating sound bath-slash-meditation experience designed to wring out every last drop of post-festival chaos. After four days of sun, sweat and sensory overload, even the most seasoned festivalgoers need a full-system reboot.
Picture this: you’re drifting on a luxe flotation bed in a serene 10th-floor indoor pool, surrounded by glowing orbs and skyline views. The vibration of crystal singing bowls ripples through the water while a meditation guide gently resets your overstimulated brain. Meet your new favorite recovery room.
After your float: sip champagne, snag some wellness goodies and slide into Bar Tre Dita for a smoky 1871 Bloody Mary — a dramatic nod to the Great Chicago Fire (and the cocktail’s St. Regis origins).
Pro tip for your Instagram caption: the St. Regis Chicago holds the title for tallest building in the world designed by a woman.
