Eating Dessert for Dinner at TRU in Chicago

TRU is a whimsical waltz through culinary heaven - caviar ascends a staircase and tuna tartar is served atop a bowl of Japanese fighting fish. This playful attitude towards haute cuisine extends to the unpretentious and attentive service. Before you even sit down, a stool for your purse appears. If you get a chill, staff will provide a shawl. Heading to the restroom? Yes, you get an escort. An evening of such extravagance has a hefty price tag, unless you skip the 9-course tasting menu and go right for the best part – dessert. After the evening rush, diners can reserve a table for a dessert-only meal and be treated to multiple courses of pastry chef Gale Grand’s stunning confections. With dessert this good, who needs dinner?

TRU

The Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago took the concept of Spa to a whole different level. In fact, to its own level. In September 2008, the international brand integrated its spa concept into its rooms offering 53 Signature Spa Guest Rooms which are specially-designed to incorporate The Spa’s Concept of Calm, Balance, Purify, Heal and Revitalize into the interior design and amenities in each 600 to 900 square foot Spa Guest Room. Located on the 14th floor, these rooms are designed to cater to guests needs for a rejuvenating, reenergizing and renewing experience. The overall aesthetic is much different from the sleek black, corporate business interior design. Guests of the Spa Rooms have direct access to The Spa at Trump for ultimate privacy and luxurious spa experiences. Guests of the Spa Level are personally escorted by their Trump Spa Attaché whom assists in customizing the guests’ experience. In the corridor, guests are welcomed by a custom spa scent, soft music, gentle earth tones, light oak woods, fresh orchids and ambient candles which transition into each Spa Guest Room with awe-inspiring city and riverfront floor- to-ceiling views. These rooms are truly unique as they are not only dedicated to the spa experience of relaxation and various intentions, but also teach guests how to incorporate overall health and well-being into their everyday lives in the midst of a bustling urban city.
