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 rates tend to be lower. For those looking to immerse themselves in the city's rich history and culture, staying for at least 2 to 3 days is ideal. This duration allows visitors to explore iconic landmarks such as stunning skyscrapers, renowned museums, and vibrant theatres, as well as enjoy the beautiful river scenery. Travelling during these months offers great value for money, and prices may drop even further, making it an excellent choice for those on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Chicago, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize potential savings. The Smart Shopping feature, available via the app, allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're informed if rooms become available or prices drop, making your last-minute getaway more accessible.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your dates may help you save on your stay in a Chicago hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price tends to be on the higher side, we’ll suggest more economical dates, which could increase your chances of securing a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Chicago's outstanding public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that is still well-connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
