Hotwire Hotel: Help Uncovering 5* Chicago 12/31 hotels

[cjswans]

I'm looking for hotels for 12/31 in Chicago, and have found two 5* hotels. I haven't seen any 5* hotels before, and none are listed in the list here, and now there are two. Is this a reclassification, or are these recently-added hotels? One is in Chicago Gold Coast - Lake Shore Drive area for 442, one is Magnificent Mile North - Water Tower area for 399. Any help with either or both would be appreciated.

Please first provide a follow-up for your prior Chicago Hotwire thread (post what you decided for that stay within that thread, then reply to this thread and we'll be happy to take a look and try to ID.)

Additionally, please provide the entire list of amenities, zone and price for each of the 5* listings.

Are you willing to spend $400+ on a hotel room for New Years Eve?

Neither of these properties have been ID'd/reported to the board. However, I'm only seeing the 5* Water Tower when searching for this date, not a 5* in the Gold Coast-LSD area. My guess is that the 5* Water Tower may be the Park Hyatt, Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton.

Thanks, I'm not sure if I'm going to risk it for that kind of cash, but I appreciate your help!

Are you looking to spend extra for something special (upgrades, etc?) What would be your desired budget per night?
