Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* Chicago (Gold Coast - Lake Shore Drive) Thompson Chicago

[sunset]

Link used. Purchased on Hotwire US but paid in £'s as UK based. This made price £859 total for the 7 nights,(about $1,340) rather than $1403 plus exchange fees on my credit card.

Got this for a friend. The Chicago Marathon on the 12th made this tricky, as did needing a weeks stay. I have been bidding on Priceline for the 7 nights stay up to $150 a night without success which would be about the same as the Hotwire price when tax, priceline fees and exchange fees are taken into account. I could have split the stay and got it for £10 pn less but Saturday was always going to be expensive to book alone. My friend is very happy.

Extremely nice (especially during the Marathon and for a week-long stay in October in general) deal for this renovated (it was the Sutton Place, and has is currently closed while they renovate and prepare for an October re-open as the Thompson) property in a great location. The Original Pancake House across the street (or Tempo nearby on Chestnut, although that's cash only.)

Hope your friend enjoys their stay.
