At the Four Seasons Chicago, the Babysitter Comes Free When the Parental Unit Dines Downstairs on Thursdays

There are all kinds of good reasons to check into the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, starting with location and luxury.  (I know "luxury" is a bad word these days, but sometimes a hotel can't avoid being referred to that way, what can I say?)

Here's another, very clever one.  Every Thursday, a family staying at the hotel can count on complimentary babysitting services for the kids while mom and dad dine in the hotel's restaurant, Seasons, between 5:30 and 9:30.  Not that the children will go hungry--they get to jump on the beds, play board games, watch movies, or play with a Nintendo Wii with their caregiver while dining on mac 'n' cheese, chicken fingers and fruit kabobs. 

The menu is a bit more rarified in the hotel's restaurant--beef tartare with homemade beer mustard, anyone?  My only wish: That the hotel could offer this deal seven days a week.
