carriefm Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Alright, I'm looking at a hotel with 4* in Mag mile / Streeterville area.It's $109 per nightamenties include:PoolDiningSpafitnessinternetbusinesstennisDo you have any ideas?I'm staying in Chicago 9/3-9/6Any ideas on events or things to do with kids age 3-15? Restaurants/must dos/ places to school clothes shop?
AaronJB Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Welcome to the site.This would likely be the Swissotel.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchase.Personally, I'd highly recommend the Lincoln Park Zoo (great zoo, and free). The State St. shopping area may be better for school shopping, given that there are more in the way of discounters (Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, etc.) Michigan Ave. isn't exactly the best place to look for bargains. In terms of restaurants, it depends on what you're looking for in terms of atmosphere/budget/etc.
carriefm Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks for your reply. What sets this hotel apart from the rest, I mean how do you know its the Swissotel. Cause I see theres alot with Spa's.
thereuare Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 It's not just the SPA icon but the complete amenity combination that is being used matches previous reports for the Swissotel, as per the Hotwire Hotel List.However, i'm not currently seeing this property offered when searching for your dates (i searched both 2adults/0children and 2adults/2chidlren)... are you still seeing this property offered on your own HOTWIRE search?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

carriefm Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 It is no longer offering the Swissotel. Many of the one's I was looking at are no longer available.
thereuare Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 The 4* matches previous reports for the Sheraton while the 3.5* matches previous reports for the Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown Lakefront so that would be my best guess for each.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
