Want to travel like a Princess? The Drake hotel in Chicago has created the ultimate experience to go hand in hand with their Princess Diana Suite. Princess Diana stayed at the Drake hotel during her visit to Chi-town in 1996 to raise money for cancer research at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The Drake hotel has kept a log of some of her requests and favorites that you too can enjoy for a limited time.
The “Crowning a Lady” package features:
– Two-night Stay in the Princess Diana Suite
