g1gzter Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 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 taxesTripAdvisor 4.5 of 5 RatingAccording 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 Link to comment
AaronJB Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 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.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

g1gzter Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 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 Link to comment
AaronJB Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 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.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

g1gzter Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 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. Link to comment
