A Chicago hotel has an 'urban glamping' package that puts guests up in a tent on their penthouse terrace - and they're charging $5,500 a night for it

Barely four years old, The Gwen opened in 2015. It's the third hotel to inhabit its prime spot on Chicago's infamous Michigan Avenue.

The hotel is less than a 20-minute walk from Navy Pier, along with countless other Windy City sites.

Connected to The Shops at North Bridge, the hotel is also less than a block from the Magnificent Mile, Michigan Avenue's luxury district.

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.
