My guests loved the boho vibes in this small little oasis in Brooklyn. The venue was really similar with what the photos shows. The kitchen was well equipped. It took a bit to heat up but it was fine for most of the event duration. The host was very communicative and very understanding when I requested to extend the time of the booking. Would book again!

We rented the Topanga Sanctuary for a day event over the weekend — wow! We were thoroughly impressed. What a beautiful spot for us to gather. Plenty of parking made it convenient for everyone. The amenities were exceptional — we had 10 yoga mats, bolsters, blankets, and water, all contributing to a seamless experience. The sanctuary has a cabin-like feel with exposed wood — it was charming and had an energy that enhanced the overall atmosphere. This was perfect for our activities focused on restoration, harmony, meditation, and centering ourselves. The serene beauty, coupled with the sanctuary’s unique aesthetic, made for a truly special and memorable experience. We're grateful you gave us the opportunity to use your wonderful venue. Thank you! We’ll be back!

We LOVED this space! It's a gorgeous, open space with a ton of natural light which was great for our team photoshoot. Koryn was so helpful beforehand and during the booking process, and was kind enough to let us in earlier for set up and they even let us stay a bit longer when we needed some more time to finish our presentation. During our event they had someone there to support us which was so helpful. We had such a lovely time in this space.

About Chicago

There is probably a lot that you already know about Chicago. You probably know that it is also called the Windy City thanks to the gusts that spread through the streets off the waters of Lake Michigan. You may also know that it has been home to some pretty famous people - notably notorious gangster, Al Capone, and former first family, the Obamas.

What you might not know is that it has some pretty outstanding architecture, or that it is home to 24 Michelin-starred restaurants. There are a lot of things happening in Chicago of late and it is looking good. Whether you are an outdoorsy sort of person or like to stay in and enjoy art and history, the Windy City has something for everyone.

While you are looking for your prime retreat location in Chicago, be sure to take the time to enjoy some of the attractions like the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, and Millennium Park.

Retreat Location Options in Chicago

When you are looking for a calming space to host a retreat, there are a few things to consider. It is best to have local companies who specialize in Chicago retreat locations to help you plan it all.

  • Catering
    When you are going to a retreat, you often don’t leave or associate with the outside world during your time there. As such, you are going to need to cater to your guests fully - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks - all of it, and make sure you are covering all necessary dietary requirements. A caterer can do all that for you.

  • Decor
    If you are setting up a space for people to get away from it all, decor, vibe, and atmosphere are all massively important components to consider. What do you want your guests to feel during their stay? What decor reflects that?

  • Transportation
    The majority of the time, retreats don’t tend to happen in city centers close to airports and major train hubs. So, it is worth looking into some kind of shuttle bus or transfer system from these major travel stations to your Chicago retreat location.

Pros and Cons of Retreat Locations in Chicago

Even though Chicago is a pretty great city, it is important to weigh up the pros and cons. Before finalizing any plans for your Chicago retreat location, find out what to expect.

Advantages

  • Landscape
    As Chicago sits on the edge of one of America’s great lakes, Lake Michigan, the view out from the skyline is as spectacular as looking at the city itself. Being as large as it is, it acts more as an expanse of open water than an inland lake.

  • Food
    Even though Chicago has a reputation for delicious, if not high-class, foods such as hotdogs and deep pan pizza pies, that doesn’t mean that there are not amazing restaurants of all cuisines to be found in the city.

  • Travel connections
    Despite seemingly being isolated from other large cities like New York and LA, Chicago is amazingly well connected via Amtrak services, the iconic Route 66, and the huge Chicago O’Hare airport. So, wherever you are traveling from you can get here with minimal drama.

  • Diversity
    As a city, there is an amazing, beautiful diversity that can be experienced in Chicago. This can be seen in the history of the city, the food, the festivals, the people, and the culture that’s made Chicago what it is today.

Disadvantages

  • Pollution
    Unfortunately, a combination of misuse of the water system over the past few decades and an increased population in the city have manifested themselves in very high levels of both water and air pollution. Although they are trying to be greener, it is something to note.

  • Weather
    Anyone who’s either been in Chicago in the winter or seen photos or footage of it will know that it can get very intense. Think huge amounts of snow and ice and freezing temperatures - pack accordingly!

  • Crime
    Unfortunately, like many major cities, crime is still a bit of an issue in certain parts of Chicago. Although the mob rule that Capone had over the city has long since passed, it is always a good idea to be sensible and safe.

  • Poverty
    When there is a situation with high taxation, crime, and rising populations, poverty often follows. The national average is 13% and Chicago on average is at 20% with some areas having poverty levels of between 40% and 60%.

Famous Locations in Chicago

  • Navy Pier
    If you are looking to head down to the shoreline of Lake Michigan and have a good time with family or friends, then Navy Pier is the destination for you. With dozens of restaurants, bars, shops, and attractions, it is great for the whole family.

  • Michigan Avenue
    If you are looking for something a little bit more upmarket with shops, restaurants, and more, then head to Michigan Avenue, otherwise known as the Magnificent Mile. It is also the location of Chicago’s theatre district, and it is a must-visit.

  • Wrigley Field
    Are you a big fan of America’s favorite pastime? If so then you are definitely going to want to either catch the Cubs in action or take a tour around the second oldest and one of the most famous ballparks in the country. Whatever your franchise allegiances, Wrigley Field is a Chicago institution!
