Shopping in Chicago with Gifts from Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar

Heading to the Windy City for some holiday shopping? Get a little help from Kimpton's Hotel Palomar, an art-centric boutique hotel in River North. Book the "Little Brown Bag" package and you'll get a $50 Bloomingdales gift card plus a gift tote to haul future purchases, stuffed full of goodies: one 15% off Bloomingdales coupon (good for one full day on all regularly priced items); a black leather "shopping wallet" complete with discount offers (valued at $100); two bottles of water to stay hydrated while gift hunting; and a $5 Starbucks gift card to fuel up before hitting the stores. Nightly rates start at $239 per room and the package is available through Jan 31, 2011. If you fill up on too many holiday treats while out on the town, you can work it off at the hotel's 24-hour fitness center or in the heated indoor pool.
