About this adventure
Anchoring the top of the Magnificent Mile since 1920, The Drake Hotel is an icon of Chicago elegance. On Thanksgiving Day, the hotel opens its opulent Gold Coast Palm Court and Grand Ballroom for an expansive holiday feast accompanied by live harp music. The chef-attended carving stations serve roasted turkey breast with cranberry-orange compote and hand-carved beef tenderloin, accompanied by whipped Yukon Gold potatoes, roasted fall squashes, and artisanal charcuterie. Children are captivated by the life-sized gingerbread house in the lobby and a sprawling holiday dessert display featuring hot apple cider and pumpkin cheesecake.
