Hotwire Hotel: 5* Magnificent Mile Area - River North

[g1gzter]

Howdy!

Haven't checked in for awhile and looking at downtown Chicago properties again. This listing has me really intrigued as I can't ever remember seeing a 5* listing on Hotwire, let alone in Chicago.

"Hotels in the luxury 5-star rating category include: Inter-Continental and Le Meridien"

Price seems way too high for Inter-Continental and there isn't a Le Meridien in Chicago (yet).

Check In: 03/01/12, Check Out: 03/02/13

$336.00 plus taxes

TripAdvisor 4.5 of 5 Rating

According to TripAdvisor there are six 5-star hotels in Chicago (really don't know what else to go by) and they are Waldorf, Trump, Four Seasons, Peninsula, Ritz, and Park Hyatt. If I had to pick one, it would be the Park Hyatt. Anything else come to mind on this? Thanks!

This Hotel features the following amenities:

Indoor pool(s)

Smoke Free Rooms

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

Spa Services

My guess would be Trump, as all of the other 5* properties do not fall within this zone. (The Conrad downtown used to be a Le Meridien.)

There are a couple of different 5* listings in the city that have been seen, but none have been ID'd yet.

Thanks for the tip. Do you remember seeing a Trump Hotwire listing in any other city?

Edit: Per Trump's website, the cheapest room for that night is $395. So if your guess is correct, that's not much of a discount...haha

Trump Vegas is on HOTWIRE all the time. The NYC Trumps have not been seen.

While the property looks quite nice and gets excellent reviews, this is not a busy time and there are plenty of nice options at the 4* level in the $100-135 neighborhood.

Agreed, I've stayed at the Chicago Ritz-Carlton before (8 or 10 years ago) and although nice, not really sure it was worth it. The only two properties in Chicago that I would "maybe" spend that much on now would be Waldorf or Peninsula.
