Day 1:
St. Charles
Prepare for the best service you’ll find in the area with our pristine, exemplary hotels. For your first day, stay in the heart of our historic, thriving downtown at the Hotel Baker, a 92-year-old riverfront hotel with some of the best views and rooms in the city.
Once you're ready, head across the street to explore the outdoor dining options in the First Street Plaza, a hub of activity where you can explore four different styles of food between four local restaurants. Try some amazing guacamole, pico de gallo, tacos and more at La Mesa Modern Mexican, farm-to-table delicacies at Gia Mia, Irish staples such as corned beef, Shepherd’s pie and more at McNally’s Traditional Irish Pub or delectable, quality Italian dishes and desserts at La Za Za Trattoria.
After having an amazing meal, check out the live music scene in St. Charles, which is one of the best in the Chicago suburbs. Many of the St. Charles restaurants, such as the Filling Station Pub & Grill and Flagship on the Fox, feature spacious outdoor patios for outdoor dining and entertainment options.
