Wind Creek Chicago Southland Casino & Resort announced Tuesday, April 8, that its full resort experience — including its luxury hotel and spa — will officially open to the public on Friday, April 11.

Early access bookings for both the hotel, with more than 255 rooms and more than 43 luxury suites, along with the onsite spa, are now available at windcreek.com/chicagosouthland.

Wind Creek Chicago Southland is a resort destination offering an expansive 70,000-square-foot casino with more than 1,400 slot machines, 56 table games, a poker room, sportsbook (coming soon), and high-limit salons.

The resort’s full-service spa, Spa at Wind Creek, is located on the 16th floor of the hotel overlooking the Chicago skyline — offering a range of services including facials, massages, manicures/pedicures and body wraps, eight treatment rooms, a mud room, plus a thermal suite complete with a whirlpool tub, sauna, swinging chairs, and a multisensory experiential shower experience.

Beyond the spa, the resort offers over 12,000 square feet of flexible meeting space in addition to Hidden Gems — unique and customizable private gaming/event microenvironments — and a diverse array of dining options in partnership with Fabio Viviani Hospitality. 

Additional amenities include the Center Bar and ample on-site parking with EV charging stations, plus a pool and fitness center.

This marks the next chapter for the fully immersive property, which first debuted its casino experience in November 2024. 

Since then, Wind Creek Chicago Southland has created more than 1,100 jobs.

“With the opening of our hotel and spa, Wind Creek Chicago Southland is bringing a truly all-encompassing resort experience to the Southland region — one that blends luxury with accessibility,” said Roger Kuehn, executive vice president and general manager of Wind Creek Chicago Southland. “We’re proud to see this project come to life and to continue contributing to the vibrancy and economic growth of the surrounding community.”
