However, this can be a real mistake because there are some truly sumptuous, lavish and all-round luxury things you can do in the Heartland of America. Just check out the suggestions below to find out what they are.

Refresh Yourself At The Kohler Waters Spa

One of the most luxurious things you can do in the midwest is treat yourself to a spa visit, and there is no better place to do this than at the Kohler Waters Spa.

Is there anything more luxurious than engaging in the English practice of high tea? Of course, there is no better place in the Midwest to do this than the Grand Lobby at the Peninsula hotel chicago. Expect delicate finger sandwiches, elegant patisserie, and english style scones with cream and jam! 

Have A Three-Course Meal At The Whitney Michigan 

While Michigan does not currently have any Michelin Star restaurants, that certainly doesn't mean that there is no fine dining in the area. Indeed, there are some great options including The Whitney, which is located in an iconic 1894 mansion. 

The Whitney is best known for their Ahi Tuna Carpaccio served with roasted fennel, capers, toasted garlic oil and 2 yr Parmesan 19. Although their sumptuous The Beef Wellington made with duxelles of cremini mushroom , and served with cognac cream is a dish you won’t want to miss either!
