Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* Magnificent Mile Area-Streeterville Area

[Kathleen86]

I was wondering if anyone could help me identify a 4.5* hotel in the Magnificent Mile-Streeterville area. The price is $188 per room, for three people, two rooms, from June 20 to June 26. The amenities are: smoke free rooms, fitness centre, pool(s), restaurant(s), business centre, and high-speed Internet access. It was recommended in 90% of Hotwire customer reviews.

I've never booked a hotel using Hotwire, so I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks!

A 4.5* property with this exact amenity set has not yet been reported to the board, but i think this may be the Inter-Continental Chicago with the addition of a new 'Smoke Free' amenity... it is a non-smoking property and this would be my best guess.

I'd also agree with the Intercontinental being the likely result.

You've got plenty of time before your stay, so why not book the Hard Rock for $160/nite on Lastminutetravel.com, or the Westin for $171/nite...cancelable up to 3 days before stay. They are both in the same area as the Intercontinental. Then you can keep an eye on Hotwire and possibly try a bid or two on Priceline.

Expedia has the Hotel Felix for $162/nite, cancelable.

How are you able to see what the name of the hotels are on Lastminutetravel.com? Thanks for the advice, I'm definitely going to look around a bit, but I'm just trying to get a feel for what prices are out there. Thanks for all the help so far, everyone!

There's a thread up above under "Off Topic: Run of House" titled LAST MINUTE TRAVEL - Tool For Identifying Hotels that shows a couple of ways to determine the name of the hotel. You can also call LMT directly and ask for a specific hotel. Sometimes the call in rate is cheaper than the website rate.

That's great advice, thanks! I'll definitely be using the hotel identifying tool in the future. Since I still have some time until I have to book, I'll be keeping an eye on all of these sites.
