AaronJB Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 Welcome to Betterbidding.4.5* - likely Intercontinental4* Likely SheratonI'll also note that I'm seeing a 3.5* in this zone for $88 (the price you see may differ slightly) w/fitness, business, restaurant, internet, pool - that is a possible match for the Doubletree. While not a 4*, a nice 3.5* and a good value if you're primarily just looking for a place to sleep. It's a couple of blocks North of the Sheraton and a couple of blocks East of the Intercontinental, so similar location to the potential other two hotels.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Matt127 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Posted March 6, 2013 Thanks! I'm looking for a place to take my wife for our anniversary, so something a bit more upscale than the Doubletree.
AaronJB Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 Congrats on your anniversary! :)What would be your desired budget per night for this stay? I'd be happy to look around and see if there are any other possibilities of note.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Matt127 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Posted March 6, 2013 Thanks for the help, it's our 5 yr anniversary, so I'm willing to splurge--but I still don't want to pay more than I have to. Budget is open, looking to keep it to 200-225ish per night. We've stayed at the Intercontinental a couple of times in the past, would rather find a different hotel.
AaronJB Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 If you click the Westin link on the Support Page and search for your dates, the Westin River North is $149 non-refundable, but it's $169 non-refundable for a Deluxe River View room. I think that's a very nice hotel, but I've stayed in a river view room on a high floor looking West and it was really a classic "Chicago" view - really, really memorable view.On HOTWIRE, I'm seeing a 4.5* for $158 (the price you see may vary) in the Mag Mile North-WT area w/Free Internet Boutique Hotel Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access This would be a possible match for the newer (opened last Fall) Ivy Hotel.Two interesting options - additionally with the Westin, given that you are booking through the hotel website, you could also indicate in the special requests section (or call) and say it's an anniversary stay.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE, PRICELINE or Westin link on the Support Page.
Matt127 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Posted March 6, 2013 Thanks again for all your help. I have to check with my wife...Sometimes she insists on having a pool, which can be limiting. I thought the boutique--possibly Ivy was a good option.

AaronJB Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 The Omni is a nice hotel, but for the price difference, I'd go with the W. The W properties are not everyone's cup-of-tea, but I think $86 is quite reasonable, especially if you think you would like the W style.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
