Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* Chicago (Mag Mile-Streeterville) InterContinental

[dona]

Hello,

Can you please help me identify the following hotel which I will book through your HOTWIRE links in this forum?

I'm hoping this property wil be the Embassy Suites, and not the Tremont. Here are the amenities:

-April 11-12, 2009

-3* Hotel in North Michigan Avenue - Water Tower - Gold Coast in Chicago

-Boutique Hotel

-Smoke-Free Rooms

-Fitness Center

-Restaurant

I appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, Dona

Unfortunately, Tremont would be the most likely hotel in this case.

What is your max budget for hotel? I'd be happy to try and offer other suggestions.

There's a number of other properties showing in this price range for these dates, including a 3.5* in the same area for $71 and a 4* for $79. I'm not seeing the Embassy Suites properties showing on HOTWIRE for these dates.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchases.

Thanks for helping me out :)

Our max. budget would be $75 if I knew it would be the Embassy Suites. I'm looking for complimentary breakfast in no less than a *3.5.

Thanks so much again

I'm looking for complimentary breakfast in no less than a *3.5.

Doesn't seem like the property you inquired about above meets either of these requirements. :)

If you can forgo the included breakfast requirement i would try bidding on PRICELINE, keeping your maximum bid at $60-$65 or so, then take the $10-$15 saved to buy breakfast at a local bakery or coffee shop.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Congrats on your success, and thank you for posting your win. Additionally, using the site's HOTWIRE link is greatly appreciated.

The Intercontinental is not only superbly located, but has a really fascinating history; I'd recommend reading more about it on the hotel website. Additionally, I'd also recommend taking a peek at the ballroom, as well as the hotel's gorgeous (and VERY historic) pool.

Enjoy your stay.
