LondonBlue Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Hi. I want to try to get the Conrad March 13-15th weekend. From reading the forums, I cannot tell if the $95 4.5 star hotel is the Conrad or Intercontinental. It looks like Intercontinental is coming up as a 4 star where previously it was 4.5. The amenites on my $95 4.5 star search are showing as fitness center, restaurant, business center and internet access. No pool. I know Intercontinental has a pool and the Conrad doesn't. Maybe it's the Conrad??
thereuare Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 These two properties often have the same amenities (even though the InterContinental has a pool it often does show that amenity icon) so they can't necessarily be differentiated based upon this information.I did a HOTWIRE search for your dates and couldn't get thsi property to appear with a Tripadvisor rating, if you're still able to see a TA rating on your own HOTWIRE search, what is the current rating and number of reviews info?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

LondonBlue Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 Thanks for your response. I did not see a tripadvisor rating earlier today or just now when I ran the search. The only other possible distinguishing factors are "lowest price guarantee" and "best value" square icons. No "customer favorite" as I have sometimes seen on other searches.Looks like a 4.5 star Michigan Ave/Streeterville will be either Conrad, Intercontinental or Dana??
thereuare Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Where did the Dana come into the mix... have you seen this property offered with these four amenities?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

LondonBlue Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 No. I just saw that it is a 4.5 star property in some of the threads on this site. So what do you think the hotel is?
thereuare Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 I don't see any reference to the Dana on the site... my best guess is the Conrad or the Inter-Continental, and as noted above, there is no way to differentiate between the two as they have the same star rating and amenities associated with them.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.

LondonBlue Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 I am trying to get the Conrad for one night arriving on Sunday, March 29. I am coming up with $95 Mag Mile / Streeterville 4.5 star but can't figure out if it's Intercontinental or Conrad. The Tripadvisor info says 320+ reviews and last reviewed in Feb. 2009. Well Tripadvisor shows over 300+ reviews but last reviewed in March for Intercontinental and Conrad is not quite 300 reviews and last reviewed in Feb.Other hints are "best value" and fitness center, business center, restaurant and high speed internet.Any ideas?I have a room reserved at Conrad for $189 but would love to save $100 and put money towards parking, food, etc.

LondonBlue Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Posted March 12, 2009 I know I have previous posts on wanting Conrad, but after further deliberation on what I need to accomplish on this Chicago trip, I think Hilton Palmer House is going to be best location. My dates are for one night 3/29-3/30.I have come up with 3.5 star loop for $86 and 4 star loop for $89. Hilton is listed as a brand under the 3.5 star but this one is listing Boutique, which I don't see this being a boutique hotel. The 4 star has a pool, but doesn't have Hilton listed as a 4 star brand?According to the list on this site, Palmer house was a 4 then 3.5 star?Please advise. thanks.
AaronJB Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 If you are looking for the night of 3/29 only, then I see a 4* in the Loop with fitness, business, internet, restaurant and pool that would appear to be a match for the Palmer.Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase.
LondonBlue Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 Is that the $75 4 star in loop? Is the clue for Palmer house the pool? thanks. appreciate your help.
thereuare Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Please follow-up your previous Hotwire Chicago thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay (as previously requested HERE)... then bump this thread and we'll continue the thread above.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

LondonBlue Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 I have decided not top pursue this location. I have a separate thread seeking advice to get Palmer House Hilton for same date. thanks.
LondonBlue Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 I have done as you requested. thanks. Kindly respond to my question.
thereuare Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 So will you not be in Chicago on these dates... in which case we will merge with your other thread. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
thereuare Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 The amenities above match those for the Hilton Palmer House, as doe the Tripadvisor information provided by HOTWIRE, so I agree with AaronJB that best guess is that this is indeed the Palmer House you're seeing.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.
