Quick trip because two weeks later we're spending a week running around Massachusetts on the way to Amherst for the UMass game. GO BULLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to book soon. Like I said, I've stayed there on two occasions. An old-time, grand hotel. Lots of pictures of stars in the hallway who played the Empire Room there. Fabulous atrium that has been restored (you can check the pictures online). It's also near shopping on State St. and the Magnificent Mile, and is on Monroe, with the Majestic Theater just a block or so away. We saw "Book of Mormon" there last time we stayed there. It might be worth a look to see if there may be a show you'd be interested in. I walked most everywhere from there, from the Chicago Art Institute to restaurants on Michigan. The Art Institute has some of the most amazing originals that I had only seen in art books: Nighthawks, American Gothic, Van Gough's self portrait.... amazing works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the 12th though the 16th but don't if that would affect price per night that much. Edit: Nevermind. I changed dates from 14th thru 16th and it goes to $179. Wow. Sticking it to the business traveler. Edited March 21, 2018 by Triple B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the Special Rate Code option and check the AAA box. If that gets you the cheaper rate, it would pay to get the $35 membership (whatever it is) to get that savings.

I've got AAA but it's the dates affecting the room nightly average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's the dates. I tried just now using 9/14-9/16 and am getting a $179/night rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
