Chicago Hotels

Whether seeking a cheap hotel room or an ultra-luxurious suite, Chicago has a plethora of each with a lot of in-between. Travellers should always check with hotels for special rates or promotions. During special events like Winter Delights (Jan-Feb) visitors can also check with the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau.

The Chicago hotels, all located Downtown are grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over US$325)
Moderate (US$225 to US$325)
Cheap (up to US$225)


These Chicago hotel prices are for one night in a double room, excluding room tax and breakfast unless otherwise specified. Hotels in Chicago add a room tax and sales tax (totalling 17.4%) to all bills. Travellers should be aware that winter rates are sometimes less than half the cost of summer and convention rates.
