Spa and wellness: what to expect (and what’s not here)
Aloft Chicago Mag Mile does not have a dedicated on-site spa; expect wellness basics instead: a top-floor indoor pool called Splash, a 24-hour Re:charge fitness center with cardio and Peloton bikes, and grab-and-go food and drink options for post-workout recovery. If you want massages, facials or a full spa menu, plan to visit nearby spas in downtown Chicago.
In this guide
Splash: the hotel's indoor pool
The pool at Aloft Chicago Mag Mile is called Splash and sits on the 19th floor. It’s an indoor lap/recreation pool with sun loungers and is offered complimentary to registered guests.
Pool access is generally available in the morning through evening; one third‑party listing reports hours as 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, but at least one listing has previously noted a temporary closure, so confirm current availability with the front desk when you arrive.
- Name: Splash (19th floor)
- Usually complimentary for hotel guests
- Reported hours (check at front desk): commonly 7:00 AM–10:00 PM
- If swimming is a priority, confirm the pool’s status before you book

Spa services: what’s not here
Aloft Chicago Mag Mile does not list a standalone spa, spa menu, treatment rooms, or branded spa services in its official information. Third‑party property guides also mark the hotel as not having a spa.
If you’re expecting on-site massages, facials, or dedicated spa staff, plan to book off-site treatments at nearby Chicago spas. The hotel’s meeting and guest services may be able to recommend or help arrange local providers, but no on-site spa treatments are confirmed.
- No verified on-site spa name or treatment menu
- Aggregator listings may include a generic 'Spa' tag — those entries lack supporting details and should not be taken as confirmed
- Ask the 24-hour front desk for local spa recommendations or partner providers
| Spa option | On-site? |
|---|---|
| Massage / body treatments | Not confirmed on-site |
| Facials / skin treatments | Not confirmed on-site |
