Golden Hour in the Sky: Skydeck Chicago Launches the Ultimate Sunset Package

There are few cities as striking at sunset as Chicago, and now, there’s an even more spectacular way to experience it.

Perched 103 floors above the bustling streets below, Skydeck Chicago has unveiled its Ultimate Sunset Package, offering a once-in-a-lifetime view of the Windy City as it glows golden in the final hours of daylight.

Skydeck Chicago, set atop the iconic Willis Tower, is already famed as the highest observation deck in the United States. With its sweeping cityscape views, stretching beyond Chicago to neighbouring states on a clear day, and the thrilling glass-bottomed experience of The Ledge, it’s long been a must-visit for travellers. But this new experience elevates the thrill of the tower to elegant new heights.

Available to just five guests each evening, the Ultimate Sunset Package is designed for those seeking a luxury experience with a cinematic view. The evening begins with a private escort to the 99th floor, where guests are welcomed to a reserved window bay facing west, prime positioning to soak in the amber and rose hues of the setting sun. A glass of champagne in hand, visitors can watch the city lights begin to twinkle as the skyline transitions from day to night.

As the sun dips below the horizon, guests ascend to the 103rd floor for VIP access to The Ledge, a series of five all-glass balconies that jut 4.3 feet out from the building’s façade. Suspended in mid-air, it’s the ultimate vantage point for jaw-dropping photos and unforgettable moments.

To conclude the evening, guests can explore the immersive Skydeck Museum. This modern exhibition space charts the rich history of Chicago, from deep-dish pizza and architectural feats to sporting legends like Michael Jordan—through interactive installations and cultural storytelling.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, planning a romantic gesture, or simply searching for a unique way to experience the city, the Ultimate Sunset Package delivers a truly memorable encounter with the heart and soul of Chicago.
