4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Chicago

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Chicago is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those on a budget, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate the city's prominent landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions. Visitors can explore the stunning urban skyline, iconic skyscrapers, captivating architecture, and an array of theatres and museums, all of which offer great value for money. The city's rich history and vibrant scenery, including its picturesque riverfront, provide an enriching experience without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Chicago, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re more likely to see the best options. With these features, you’ll be promptly notified if rooms become available or prices drop, making it easier to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a hotel in Chicago. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels may provide a more personalised touch and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we will suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to secure the best possible deal.

Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Chicago's superb public transport options, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a little further afield that remains well-connected.
