87wrangler Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Going to Chicago with my girlfriend 8/2-8/6 and looking for a nice place to stay in a good location. I've been there once before and she's never been. Hotwire shows a 4.5* with the following amenities -Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center and High-Speed InternetTripAdvisor reviews - (3.5 out of 5) based on 200+ customer reviews, last reviewed June 2008Any idea which hotel this is? Thanks in advance for any information.

thereuare Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 The HOTWIRE hotel above is a match for the Inter-Continental so that would be our best guess.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

87wrangler Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Posted June 18, 2008 Thank you. Would you recommend the Inter-Continental? How does it compare to the Sofitel Water Tower (rated #1 on TA)?-87W
thereuare Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Those are questions better answered by AaronJB as he's local to the area... i'm sure he'll reply once he sees this thread, but if not, bump this thread in 24 hours.

AaronJB Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 The Intercontinental is a hotel that I would recommend to any visitor. It's superbly located right on Michigan Ave, has a really neat history and is definitely a "uniquely Chicago" hotel. If you can get the Sofitel for the same price, I'd recommend the Sofitel. However, if the Intercontinental is quite a bit cheaper, I'd go with it. It really all depends on the price difference, but to answer the question I do like the Intercontinental.You can read the hotel history (and see a pic of the beautiful pool area) here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterContinental_Chicago
87wrangler Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Posted June 19, 2008 Thank you Aaron and thereuare! I just booked our trip through your Orbitz link. Got the Sofitel Water Tower (and airfare) for slightly less than the Intercontinental (after coupon). Thanks again for all your help and for maintaining such a great travel site.-87W
