Towering skyscrapers create a skyline that seems to rise straight from Lake Michigan's blue waters. The Art Institute houses masterpieces while Millennium Park's reflective 'Bean' sculpture distorts the city in delightful ways. Navy Pier offers carnival-like fun with a giant Ferris wheel providing spectacular views. Wrigley Field remains gloriously old-school, where ivy-covered walls and hand-turned scoreboards transport baseball fans to another era. Deep-dish pizza at local institutions sparks fierce debates about whose crust reigns supreme. The Chicago River's architecture boat tours reveal how the city rebuilt itself after the Great Fire. Field Museum's Sue, the world's most complete T-Rex, stares down visitors with 65-million-year-old intensity.

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good
"We recently stayed for an extended weekend to celebrate my birthday. The room was comfortable and very clean. The only issues we had were some of the lights not working and an issue with one of the phones when we tried to call the front desk. The shower was kind of short for my husband who was 6'1. The staff were very helpful when we had a very loud neighbor. We enjoyed the drinks and breakfast. It was a ten minute walk to the beach and within a few blocks of subway and bus routes. Definitely would stay here again."

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.
