I can't get the same 4.5* hotel to appear on my standard search for 2 adults. How many rooms/adults/children did you search for? Can you please run a new search and confirm that you still can see this hotel on your search. I'm getting a 4.5* priced $146.

I tried searching for 2adults/2children and i see the property above offered...

Best guess for this one would be the InterContinental Chicago.

• Indoor pool(s)
• Smoke Free Rooms
• Fitness Center
• Pool(s)
• Restaurant(s)
• Business Center
• Internet access

This hasn't been ID'd/reported to the board, but I'm guessing this may be the Swiss.

Thanks for the help.  The room is for me and my wife and our two teenage daughters, so I have been entering 4 adults to ensure two beds.

Any interest in trying for the (guessed) InterContinental?

I'm seeing a 4.5* in the Mag Mile N Water Tower area (amenities below) for about the same price ($175) that I'd guess is the Omni that I'd rather recommend. 

 

While there is certainly shopping on Michigan Ave and Oak Street, I do think your daughters might like the Lincoln Park area, which has a lot of 20/30-somethings and the stores are geared more towards a younger crowd. You will see more in the way of boutiques, neat restaurants and prices overall are going to be less than the kind of big chains you see on Michigan Ave.

 

Not saying don't browse Michigan Ave, but that other parts of the city may have more values and places that might be a little more fun/treasure hunt-ish.

Looking for any recommendations on timing to get best deal for holiday weekend.  Should I wait until last minute, or book now?

[thereuare]

Best guess for the Boutique property above would be the Hotel Chicago Downtown Autograph Collection.

Nobody can say if rates will come down further, or move even higher, between now and your stay, but $100-$125/nite for quad occupancy at a 4* hotel seems like a pretty good deal, imo.

As well, if you like the hotel(s) guessed, besides the risk of the hotel moving higher/lower in price, there is also the risk that the hotel you want suddenly disappears entirely and is replaced with a less desirable option.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

[AaronJB]

This is effectively "last minute" as I'd guess hotels have a good idea of occupancy rates at this point. I'd agree that the potential Chicago listing is a solid deal, as $103 for quad occupancy is pretty darn good. That would be an awesome location, as well. People want to stay on Michigan Ave, but River North really has some great restaurants and is still an easy walk to Michigan Ave.

Please keep all posts for this stay within this thread - thanks. This listing hasn't been ID'd/reported to the board, but I'm guessing it may be the Swiss.

 

I'm very familiar with the area - are you looking for something particular in terms of hotel?

We are looking for a 4 star or better in the $125/nt range for the three nights, there are two adults and two teenage daughters (14 & 17). 

 

We have friends that we will be hanging out with who live around Ohio St & Lake Shore drive, so we really wanted to stay in the River North or Magnificent Mile area (Hotwire Zones) because we intend to walk most places.  We got a great deal on a room in the Wyndham Grand on E. Wacker last year during the 4th of July weekend and we were hoping to stay in the same area this time as the location was great for everything that we want to do next weekend. 

 

I have a reservation at the Hampton on Illinois & Dearborn (through Hilton website, so I can cancel) but the girls want to stay somewhere fancier, so I was hoping to get something nicer for about the same price.  Any advice would be appreciated.

When searching for 2a/2c for 7/3-6 this afternoon, I'm seeing what appears to be the Kinzie (and breakfast is a definite plus) for $153 (4* Mag Mile-RN)

 

• Free Breakfast
• Free Internet
• Pet friendly
• Fitness Center
• Business Center
• Internet access
• Spa Services
• Accessible path of travel
• In-room accessibility
• Accessible bathroom
• Roll-in shower

The Kinzie's in a terrific location in River North - a ton of restaurants nearby and not a far walk from Michigan Ave.

 

I'm also seeing the Intercontinental for $193 and, as noted above, what MAY be the Swiss. If the Swiss, also right by the Wyndham Grand on Wacker.

 

The Intercontinental is a fine hotel and close to the Wyndham Grand (effectively on the other side of the river), but I think there's better options for less or much less (such as the above Kinzie.)

 

It's difficult to get really close to Ohio and LSD, aside from the W Lakeshore, which is right there - but that isn't always showing. The Doubletree and Sheraton are also close by that location and the Intercontinental is an easy walk.

 

Let me know if you have any questions before booking.
