AaronJB Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 4.5 = likely the Intercontinental or Conrad4 = could be a few different hotels (Allerton, Drake, Knickerbocker or Westin MA). Given that this could be the Allerton, I'd skip it and go with the 4.5 Mag Mile.Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase. Let us know how it goes and if you have any questions.

thereuare Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'll add to the above regarding the 4.5* that the number of reviews shown by Tripadvisor is consistent with the InternContinental so i would think that is the one you're seeing above, more so than the Conrad.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

mandaring Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have not booked anything yet, as I have been trying to find more of a trendy place for us to stay. My best friend and I are doing a "girls weekend" and we are looking to stay at a hotel by some popular hot spots, trendy bars, etc. We are 25 and would like to check out the nightlife scene, as my friend is possibly looking to move there. Does anyone have any recommendations for a nice hotel/area where we would be close to these things? We still want a very nice hotel if possible, somewhere in the 3.5-4* range. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!Amanda Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 It depends on your budget. If you are seeking a trendy/hip hotel and HOTWIRE doesn't have any hotels that fit that, it becomes a matter of having to look for regular rate properties. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Search 2 adults/2 kids on HOTWIRE and there is a 3.5* Boutique in the North Michigan Ave/Water Tower/Gold Coast area with the amenities: Boutique, Restaurant, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Golf, Tennis, Spa. This would appear to be a match for the Hotel Indigo, which would be a great Girl's Weekend hotel - it's a really cute boutique property in the nightlife-heavy Gold Coast area. This doesn't come up if you just search for 2 adults.Please use the site's HOTWIRE link if this is of interest. Link to comment
mandaring Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Still haven't booked anything yet, but just found something new on Hotwire, and couldn't find it on the hotel list. Any suggestions on what this would be?4-star hotel in North Michigan Avenue - Water Tower - Gold CoastThis hotel features the following amenities:Smoke Free RoomsFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterHigh-speed Internet AccessTennis NearbyNo Tripadvisor details. Best Value.This is $82/night for 2 adults no children February 13th-16th. Thank you!!!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 This property has not yet been identified, but if i were to take a shot, i think the Avenue Hotel (previously the Radisson Hotel and Suites Chicago) and that would be my best guess.What were your thougths regarding the 3.5* Boutique property AaronJB commented on above?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

mandaring Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I ended up booking through the HOTWIRE link stated above, and it was the Avenue Hotel. Still seems like a good deal, it ended up being $286 something total for the weekend, and I went to Avenue's website, and booking through there would have been $450. I did not like the Boutique property, although in a good area, we were looking for something more modern and elegant, and I thought the Hotel Indigo's decor seemed cheap and and the pictures of their rooms appeared to be very small. Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Nice to see that you received the hotel you were hoping for and that you're happy with the results.Thank you for sharing your results with the board and using our HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.Enjoy your stay.
