hungry Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 Hi - I'm looking to book a room in Chicago for May 21-25 and would really appreciate some help.On Hotwire I see two that interest me:4* in Loop for $116Amenities: Fitness, Restaurant, Business, High-Speedor4* in Museum Campus/McCormick Place for $242.10Amenities: Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business, High-SpeedThe Loop hotel is clearly a much better deal and interests me. Am I right in thinking these are the Hilton Palmer House (Loop) and Hilton Chicago (off South Michigan)? I can get a better deal on the Hilton Chicago myself, but if I could feel confident that the Loop hotel is the Palmer House I'd jump on that. But makes me curious as to why the Palmer would be so much cheaper.Again, really appreciate your thoughts.Thanks!
AaronJB Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 The National Restaurant Association Show (which I believe is Chicago's largest convention of the year) is occurring during part of this time.If you click on the 4* Museum Campus listing to go to the detail page, this is showing as a regular rate listing and is the Hilton via Hotels.com.The 4* Loop is a discount listing, and could be a possible match for the Hilton or W City Center.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

How confident do you think you are about the 4* Loop being the Hilton Palmer or W City Center?
AaronJB Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 The 4* Loop would match the amenity set previously reported w/both properties and the tripadvisor rating that I'm seeing on the detail page for this listing (3.5/5) would also match both properties. There's always the chance it could be something else, but my guess would be that it's either the W or Palmer.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
hungry Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Posted May 13, 2010 Thanks for your help - I booked via your link and went with the 4* Loop at $116/night. It was the Hilton Palmer House so looks like a great deal. Looking forward to staying there!Thanks again!
AaronJB Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 Congratulations on your success!Very nice deal for this historic property (the lobby is stunning.) There is a Corner Bakery just a few steps East of the hotel's main entrance on Monroe if you are looking for a quick breakfast/lunch/dinner next to the hotel.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using the site's HOTWIRE link.Enjoy your stay.
