Thank you Aaron!

Thank you! We are going to the Chicago Gourmet 9/26 and 9/27 so were looking for something close to Millennium Park. At least 4 stars and didn't want to spend more than $200 and no less than if possible but understand I'm starting this process late. Our favorite in this area is the Radisson Blu. They Hyatt and Sheraton are OK and believe the Hyatt choice is there on Hotwire but just seems super expensive now. Would rather not stay at the Palmer House. We're open to staying at a newer, less familiar property. The Club Quarters Loops didn't appear to be the 4* property it was rated, IMO. OK, now good luck with a suggestion - LOL! BTW, River North would also be a last resort. Thanks again for your help.

Thank you Aaron. Will keep searching for a better hotel for the same dates and will post my win here.

Hi! Thanks so much for the response! Our plans slightly changed and we can only stay 1 night (2/23).

Hi! Any idea what hotel this is? Any chance of the W Lakeshore? I'm thinking maybe the Intercontinental? 4.5 * Chicago Magnificent Mile Area - Streeterville area Amenities: Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access Recommended: In 85% of Hotwire customer reviews.
