thereuare Report post Posted July 9, 2018 The 'Last person got ___' information shown by HOTWIRE is relative to the last person who bought a hotel of this star rating in the zone, not necessarily in relation to the underlying hotel currently being offered. For this HOTWIRE offer: 4.5* HOTWIRE Magnificent Mile - Water Tower for $110.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities ==> best guess would indeed be the Thompson Chicago I will also point out this other 4.5* hotel in the zone should this be of any interest as well: 4.5* HOTWIRE Magnificent Mile - Water Tower for $103.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities ==> the Viceroy Chicago would be my best guess here and also gets an excellent 5.0 TA rating Subtle differences between the two but the easiest demarcation is that the second property lists a Pool amenity where the first one does not.

AaronJB Report post Posted July 9, 2018 The Viceroy is essentially across the street from the Thompson, so neither has a location advantage over the other. The Viceroy is certainly a newer property and has been getting fantastic reviews since it opened. Both hotels are in the Gold Coast which is at the tip top of the zone, but it's an easy walk to the North end of the North Michigan Ave shopping area, there's a lot of restaurants/nightlife and there's a Red Line subway a few blocks away. I'd be happy staying at either of these potential properties, but the Viceroy for $7 less would certainly be the option I'd choose. I'm very familiar with Chicago - please let me know if you have any hotel or city questions. Thanks for keeping us updated on what you decide.
