marcast007 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thank you for your welcoming and responding so quickly Aaron! I was thinking it would be The James Hotel actually (I might have to spend some more for that one, huh?) Want to stay around this price range if possible. Godfrey is a bit too modern (cold) for my taste, but the price is not bad for that kind of hotel. First time in Chicago for me. My husband was there years ago. We are both in our 40's and are taking some time from the kiddos. Heard River North and Magnificent Mile are best areas to stay at to be close to most highlights of the city. Hope that's true. I also heard you have great food. We'd love to check out some good places around. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 AaronJB knows Chicago best, but i'll add this offer that i'm currently seeing (confirm your dates on the landing page of the provided link): 4.5* Downtown - River North for $186 Pets Allowed Restaurant Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> best guess here would be the Palomar Chicago, a Kimpton Hotel, which gets excellent reviews... would this work for your plans?

AaronJB Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 The Palomar would be a fantastic result, as that is firmly in the center of the River North area, which is an area that I do like quite a bit in terms of downtown Chicago. Personally, as someone who is quite familiar with the city, I view the Mag Mile area as a place more to browse. Michigan Ave has a lot of what you can find elsewhere, cheaper. Chicago has fantastic museums (particularly the Field and the Art Institute, as well as the Shedd; the Museum of Sci/Industry is great but fairly far South of downtown) and the Lincoln Park area is wonderful - the Zoo is fantastic and free. River North has a wonderful restaurant selection. The area just to the West of the Loop isn't terribly convenient, but it really does also have a rapidly increasing restaurant scene and is now getting "built up", with new hotels. Old Town is quite nice and a short walk away from the Zoo. Chinatown is also great and one can get there via the Water Taxi. Let us know if the Palomar will work well; if not, I'd be happy to further research and offer other suggestions.

marcast007 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thank you Aaron! Will make of note of your tips. I am going to take the risk and bid next month. I will let you know what I get. The Palomar is great! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Do keep in mind that rates and inventory can change significantly between now and next month and this is traditionally not a slow period. Keep us updated and let us know when you are ready to bid.

thereuare Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I will add that the current offer has gone down in price by $20 (confirm your dates on the landing page): 4.5* Downtown - River North for $166 Pets Allowed Restaurant Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> i still believe this to be the Palomar Chicago, A Kimpton Hotel, and can be used with the additional discount link in my signature If you are eventually hoping for the Palomar i would suggest buying now as there is a strong likelihood that this will not be the same hotel that is offered a month from now.
