Can anyone recommend a hotel in Chicago? Mate is getting married in rural Michigan and a few of us are flying in and going to spend a night in Chicago before driving 300 miles North the next day. Looking for somewhere central near to bars and restaurants. Needs parking for the ridiculous GMC Yukon XL I have rented.
Pleasingly he's getting married in term time and it's too far to drag kids for a weekend...so there are at least seven of us flying solo.

Those all look great...but not really wanting to drop $400 a night given I reckon outside sleeping in the bed I'll spend less than an hour in the hotel....we'll be getting to the hotel at 5pm and leaving at 8am the next morning! Was thinking $200 a night or so would get somewhere decent given we're going in mid Sep and it's a Thursday night.
thole with on-street parking.Never knew booking a hoel could be so complicated....I am going to be old fashioned and get on the phone to a couple of them tonight. The sites that Tripadvisor feed through to like otel.com and amoma.com seem to have room in the Hotel Chicago for £145 a night....but the hotel website itself say they have no availability. Swissotel, Sheraton, Indigo etc all seem to be over £200.
Anyone used otel.com / amoma.com etc or similar ?

Thanks for all the recommendations I ended up booking the Hyatt as it was on a special non-cancellable rate yesterday....got it for £140 a night. Could probably have waited but there are a few of us going and just wanted to get it sorted. Been to a lot of the US but never Chicago...sadly only a night there and up to Frankfort Michigan for the wedding. I am going to be drinking a lot of beer here...looks like a great place for a wedding.

You'll enjoy Chi Town, great place. If you like seafood try Shaw's Crab House on E Hubbard, one of my favourite places in the world. Another great place is Rick Bayless's Frontera Grill on Clark, a very different take on Mexican cuisine. There are loads of great eateries in the city though and lots to do.
Those both looks great but we only have one night in town and I think people want to go for a steak house (it's an all blokes trip)...might try and push for Shaw's though. knight said:
