Hotwire Hotel: 4* Chicago (Loop - Theater District) Virgin Hotels Chicago

[Dragonchou]

I am going to attend a conference in Chiago from 4/16 to 4/19, and the site of conference is at Palmer House.

There are two options of 3 stars on Hotwire.

 

1. Chicago Loop-Theater District area hotel: Price: 166

2. Downtown- Millennium Park- Grant Park area hotel: 172.

 

I don't know which one could be better.

Thanks.

Usually I would say with Chicago to keep your options open and look North of the river because Chicago's really not that big of a downtown at all and it's an easy cab ride from North of the river to the Palmer. Unfortunately, rates North of the river these nights are similarly expensive.

 

Are you seeing any accessible amenities with the first listing?

 

I'm seeing:

 

3.5* Loop

Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Spa, Blind Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Wheelchair Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower, Pet Friendly

-- Likely the Blake.

 

3.5* Downtown-MP-GP

Restaurant, Fitness, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry

-- Not yet ID'd/reported to the board, but the Silversmith with a slightly different amenity set would be my guess. If the Silversmith, couldn't be more convenient to the Palmer.

 

There is a cheaper option if you split your stay - see below.

Split:

 

4/16-17: 3.5* Mag Mile-RN Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business  $93 (you may see a slightly different price)

-- Likely Doubletree

 

4/17-19 4* Loop Restaurant, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Spa $173

-- Not yet ID'd/reported to the board. Potential guesses would be a new amenity set for the W or perhaps the new Virgin Hotel. If something else, in the Loop in general, you would not be far from the Palmer.

 

Average per night: $146.

Thanks for the reply.

 

The deal on Hotwire on 4/17-49 seems very great to me.

Doubletree is also good, however, i am not very familiar with Chicago (i am from Taiwan).

 

I find a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal on priceline, the infromation is

 

4/16-17: 3*, Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, $118

(would you please help me to identify this hotel)

 

so the average price is 154, it's still acceptable, and it might be not far from Palmer House

 

what do you think about that?

 

Many thanks.

Hello,

 

I have already booked 4/17-19 on Hotwire, and it is Virgin.

 

May i ask your suggestion, should i book the one on Hotwire, the hotel might be doubleree, or the one on priceline?

 

Thanks.
