For 4.5* Mag Mile N - Water Tower I am no longer seeing indoor pool. We are searching for 2 people

I'm still getting no pool for 4.5* Water Tower. Also there is now a 5* option for $378. Would the opaque options correspond with the published rate hotels Hotwire has for a specific area? If that's the case the 4.5* Water Tower could be the Sofitel and the 5* could be the 4 Seasons or Waldorf Astoria. I certainly would not mind the splurge for either of those properties.

The regular rate side and opaque side of HOTWIRE differ, and the regular side is not an indicator of the inventory of the discount side. I'm seeing a 5* in the Mag Mile North-Water Tower area, with the only amenities as pool and free internet. The Park Hyatt, Four Seasons, Waldorf, Ritz and Peninsula would be possibilities in terms of star rating and pool. There is a 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating on the detail page, which would narrow it down (although not guaranteed, as the TA ratings on HOTWIRE are not updated live) to the Ritz, Four Seasons and Park Hyatt. All three of those properties offer free wifi. Any of the 5 *could* be a possibility, but those three (Ritz, Four Seasons and Park Hyatt) would appear to be the most likely of the bunch.

Did you book via HOTWIRE or PRICELINE? If HOTWIRE, please provide the complete list of amenities that were showing with the listing (this information is available under the trip information in your HOTWIRE account.)

This Westin is - I think - one of the nicest 4*'s in the city, and superbly located on the river, near the River North area (which has quite a bit in terms of restaurants/nightlife.)

I'll also suggest trying to ask for a room on the South face of the building. HOTWIRE and PRICELINE reservations are not eligible for upgrades, but the river view rooms provide such nice views that I think it's worth asking.

Thank you for the follow-up. This is definitely a nice Westin property, and there's a wealth of various restaurants within easy walking distance. Let us know if you have any city questions.

Enjoy your stay.

I'd certainly appreciate any restaurant or activity recs. We're an active couple in our mid 30s, foodies and love exploring an area. 9/15 is open, 9/16 my aunt is taking the family on a Lake Michigan brunch cruise to celebrate her 40th anniversary.
