Ask Imagine: Need Some Chicago Travel Advice

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,

I am coming to Chicago for Thanksgiving to visit my in-laws.  Can you please give me some advice on where we should stay?  They live in Deerfield, IL but I do not necessarily need to stay there.  I have never been to Chicago before so I am not that familiar with what my options are.  I will also need a vehicle for my trip. 

Sincerely,

John, Tampa, FL

Elysian Chicago
Dear John,

Thank you very much for taking the time to inquire about your trip with us.  We can definitely help you with all of your needs for your trip.  We would recommend staying downtown since Deerfield is going to be a residential community with very little to see or do.  There are a few hotels that we feel have everything to ensure a great stay and are all in perfect locations for tourists to get the most our of their experience.  The Peninsula, The Trump Hotel, and the Elysian are three of our favorite hotels in the city and have been great for our clients on numerous past visits.  The location of all these hotels is perfect for someone who has never been to Chicago.  Imagine Lifestyles can also accommodate all of your vehicle needs for your trip as well.  We would just need a few details on what type of vehicle you are looking to rent and the reservation can be completed.  We have exotic sports car rentals, luxury sedan rentals, luxury SUV rentals, all of which are available as rental car or you could arrange for a private chauffeured vehicle for you and your family.  Imagine Lifestyles will arrange for everything on your trip to ensure the trip is relaxing and worry-free.  However, we cannot do anything to help you deal with your in-laws. 

Sincerely,

Imagine Lifestyles

Top 5 Condo Buildings in Chicago           

Imagine Lifestyles Chicago has done their due diligence to reveal the top 5 condo buildings in Chicago. We did not take this list lightly, and were a bit selfish when putting it together, by only picking places WE would want to reside in ourselves. It turns out that 4 of the 5 finalists are hotel condominiums, and the reason for this is pretty clear: Service and amenities. Trump Tower Chicago, Imagine Lifestyles Luxury and Exotic Rentals

Who Owns The Most Expensive Home in the U.S.?

Is it Oprah?  Maybe it is an oil tycoon, famous racecar driver, or perhaps a former child star?  Wrong-o.  It is the “Billion Dollar Man” himself, Donald Trump.  And how much was the most expensive house in the$125 Million Dollar Trump Estate nation going for you ask?  That would be about $125 million dollars, please.

Unfortunately, Trump only received $100 million for his $41 million dollar investment (he bought it as a foreclosure property).  And the lucky new owner?  A Russian billionaire who plans to subdivide the luxury property.

The sprawling luxury estate is located in the sought-after north side of West Palm Beach, our neighbor to the north.  The views from the luxury Trump estate are primarily Ocean, boasting panoramic views provided by oversized windows.  The hallways are equally cavernous, feeling more like a long room.  You can definitely tell that this estate was designed to host parties and events. 

The sheer size of the Trump estate is gasp-worthy.  There are 18 bedrooms, and 22 baths, spanning approximately 80,000 square feet over 7 acres.  There are 500 lavish feet of private beachline on the propertTrump's $125 Million Palm Beach Estate y, where we assume you can either wear your latest swimwear, or go au-natural if you wish.  Hey, it is private. 

Inside, no expense was spared.  Visitors enter into a luxurious conservatory overlooking the Atlantic.  The kitchen is adorned with mahogany cabinetry and stainless steel modern appliances.  It seems like everywhere you look there is marble and granite.

The infinity edge pool features expansive Ocean views, and a hot tub.  The pool is 140 feet long and 40 feet wide, so you won’t be crowded by other swimmers, ever.  That is a mean game of "Marco-Polo". 

There are three “cottages” on the property, if you consider 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a kitchen a mere cottage. 
As we mentioned, this property was a foreclosure, and was on the market for over 2 years. 

What is crazy is that Donald did not even live in this estate during the time it was on the market; he resided at his Marlago golf course, which is west of A1A, with inferior views of the Ocean.

We are sure Trump’s realtor heaved a heavy sigh of relief to sell the luxury property, they certainly did not want to be FIRED…(Sorry…you know we love our jabs).

Day 2- Imagine Lifestyles Chicago- Trump Tower and Mercedes S550

So I woke up in the morning to the most gorgeous panoramic view of the Chicago River and skyline.  Trump International Hotel and Tower has forgotten no small detail.  I actually get to select a bottle of water from their "water bar"  called BLING.  After I drink it I see it costs $25.  What the hell, it’ll set the standard for the rest of my day. 

On my way out through the lobby, hotel concierge reiterated to me how excited they are to be able to promote our Chicago Luxury and Exotic car rental services.  Since we are the ONLY company in Chicago who will be providing these services, they are thrilled they finally get to meet their clients’ needs.  Today is going to be a long day as my goal is to acquire two luxury vehicles by close of the business day.
