The magic of the holidays returns to Swissôtel Chicago as the iconic Santa Suite opens its doors for another unforgettable season, with tickets and bookings now available for the 2025 season. Now in its 12th year, the 41st-floor Presidential Suite will once again be reimagined as Santa’s Chicago home-away-from-the-North-Pole — this time with a festive twist inspired by holiday markets from around the world.
For 2025, the Santa Suite presents Global Market Magic, where more than 15 dazzlingly decorated trees pay homage to holiday traditions from Chicago’s Sister Cities and the hometowns of Swissôtel Chicago’s very own colleagues. From Athens and Bogotá to Osaka and Lucerne, guests are invited to step into the 2,000-square-foot winter wonderland while taking a trip around the world without leaving the city. The Consulate General of Switzerland in Chicago is proudly supporting this year’s Santa Suite, adding to the festive spirit.
