Fitness and spa options: in-room treatments and the hotel gym
Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile offers complimentary 24-hour access to a renovated fitness center equipped with TechnoGym machines, cardio equipment with personal TVs, free weights, and specialty training stations. The hotel does not have a separate on-site spa; instead it provides an in-room spa menu (massages, facials, manicures/pedicures) delivered to guest rooms through Windy City Massage.

Using spa and fitness with different rooms and suites
All registered guests — whether staying in a Superior Room, Classic Room, Luxury Room, or one of the suites such as the Magnifique Suite or Presidential Suite — receive complimentary access to the Sofitel Fitness Center.
For in-room spa treatments, therapists will come to the specific guestroom. If you plan a massage or manicure in a smaller room type (for example, Classic Room), let the concierge know so they can confirm space and setup requirements.
- Fitness access: included for guests in every room type
- In-room treatments: scheduled to take place in your booked room (request in advance)
- Recommended to inform concierge if you need extra space or furniture moved for a treatment
Practical tips: booking, timing and what to bring
Reserve in-room spa treatments and any fitness-area requests (towel service, instruction, or personal training if available) in advance through the concierge or front desk to increase the chance of preferred time slots.
Bring your usual workout gear and any accessories you prefer (yoga mat, resistance bands). The fitness center supplies basic equipment and water/fruit, but specialized items and private trainers are not guaranteed.
- To book spa: contact the concierge/front desk or ask at check-in; treatments are delivered in-room by Windy City Massage
- Check-in time is 3:00 PM and fitness center access begins once you are a registered guest
- No public schedule for in-room spa hours was published — confirm timing when you call to book
