Recent reporting from Robb Report shows that The Gwen Hotel - a luxury hotel located off Michigan Avenue - is once again featuring a glamping package for the summer months on its top-floor Gwen Lux Suite.
The two-bedroom, 2.5-bath suite - named after Chicago sculptor Gwen Lux and located in the hotel's landmark McGraw-Hill building - already includes VIP service, but beginning in June, guests can sleep on the terrace in a tent. Guests will also have access to an exclusive food menu - beginning at $125 per person - along with the rest of the suite's usual amenities.
"This package has been booked for birthday celebrations, anniversaries or just booking it for the unique experience. The suite and tent can comfortably host up to six guests, so it is also great for family vacations," a representative from The Gwen told Business Insider.
The Gwen Lux Suite standalone rate is $3,500 all year. During the summer, guests have the option to add on the glamping package for additional costs beginning at $2,000. The representative for The Gwen said that the glamping package is usually booked anywhere from one to four times a month.

The hotel, which encompasses the historic McGraw-Hill building, replaced the Conrad Chicago. The Gwen Lux Suite, which has a standard nightly rate of $3,500, is located on the glass-paneled 16th floor.
The hotel and its luxury suite are named after Chicago sculptor Gwen Lux. Its lobby reflects the building's art influence, including a massive chandelier and original artwork.
The tent is set up on the suite's terrace. The glamping package comes at the cost of an additional $2,000, bringing the total cost per night up to a minimum of $5,500.
Guests have the option to order from a specialized four-course menu, which includes caviar and grilled snapper. The terrace offers sweeping views of Michigan Avenue.
Normally, the large deck includes plenty of outdoor couch seating, though furniture is rearranged to make room for the tent. The terrace also features a fire pit.
