Chicago hotels


 
Chicago appeals to a broad swath of travelers.  It has quality sports, legendary shopping, and serves as one of the nations business hubs.  As a result, finding a good hotel room in Chicago during peak seasons can be a challenge. Many people automatically try to book in the heart of the city.  The legendary giants of the Miracle Mile offer convenience and glamour for upwards of $200 a night.  However, thinking strategically about the transport connections of the city can help you find a suitable hotel in the $100 - $150 range.

Those who’ve flown into the city will definitely want to keep the train connections to the airport in mind.  Shuttle service is both expensive and at the mercy of Chicago’s infamous traffic snarls.  Getting a hotel room that allows you to get a direct train to the airport will help you reduce stress, travel efficiently, and spend more time enjoying the city.

Seasonal shifts should also be considered.  Navy Pier is lovely in the summer, but in the winter the harsh winds off the water make many of the shorefront properties less than ideal.  Lincoln Park is a good all season choice, although families may want to avoid the area during the weekends surrounding the St. Patrick’s Day festivities as it is popular with all night celebrants.

Boutique properties are also becoming more popular in Chicago, in keeping with the current design hotel trend sweeping the industry.  If you are accustomed to the amenities of mainline hotels, you may want to read descriptions careful to be sure that a boutique design hotel’s version of eclectic still meets your desires for convenience.  Whatever your choice, the legions of visitors that come to Chicago annually make the market a competitive one, so the overall quality of hotels in Chicago is fairly high.
