Patio Paw-ty at Le Méridien Essex Chicago

The last week in September marks National Dog Week, and to celebrate the pup-filled holiday, Le Méridien Essex Chicago, the newly reimagined and transformed mid-century hotel landmark along Chicago’s Cultural Mile, hosts a Patio Paw-ty event. On Thursday, Sept. 30 from 4-7 p.m., dogs and humans are invited out to the hotel’s Grant Park Bistro patio for an evening filled with fun, food, and photos. A professional photographer will be there to capture pet portraits and dog treats will also be available. Come join all the fun with your pup!
