It lets you book day rooms, spa passes, pool access, and more from hotels and resorts. It’s one of the best ways to access five-star amenities without paying those hefty room rates, giving you access to locations that would normally be out of budget.

If you’re visiting Chicago and want to check out some of its most refined properties without actually booking a room, start here. These are the top Chicago hotels with ResortPass experiences that you’ll want to enjoy twice.
