Summer in Downtown Chicago CAN be a Deal

14 06 2011

Summer in downtown Chicago can be hectic.  Its the time of year when the snow finally melts,  flocks of families visit Chicago to vacation and the locals come out of their hibernation. 

So finding a good value for a hotel room can be like trying to get tickets for Opera’s “Favorite Things” show (well not any more, anyway) . 

But just like Groupon, if you buy in bulk there is great value to take advantage of.   With very little city wide conventions in town over the months of July and August, booking your group or meeting can be a great value for downtown Chicago.

Best Dates to Book A Group or Meeting: July 5-10, July 25-31, August 1-3, August 14-17, August 21-30

Save up to 30% off peak season rates in Downtown Chicago!

Contact me today to secure your group of 10+ rooms and take advantage of these great value dates while they last.

Our First ‘Vlog’!

Hate Baggage Fees?

30 08 2010

So do we! Here is one way to lower your cost of airline baggage fees for frequent travelers – United Airlines recently launched a new service called Premier Baggage that allows a flyer to pay $249 and waives baggage fees for a full year when you travel. With Premier Baggage, you and up to eight companions can check up to two standard bags each without fees every time you travel in the United States or internationally on United® or United Express® operated flights during the year. Now lets do a quick calculation of a family of four going on a two week vacation with each person having two bags. The baggage fees for each person would be about $50 each way or $400 for one trip alone. A business traveler who takes one bag will pay $25 each way in baggage fees so that roundtrip costs $50 in fees. If you fly more than 5 times a year on United this might be a service that could have benefits.





Annual Air and Water Show

13 08 2010

Planes flew high about the city skyline

This past weekend featured the 52nd Annual Chicago Air and Water Show.  It is considered the largest free show of it’s kind, and kicked off with it’s traditional celebrity skydive; this time featuring  Chicago native Vince Vaughn.  Both the U.S Army and U.S Navy brought in some of their largest and fastest aircrafts currently in operation for all of Chicago to marvel at.  The Homewood Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown guests had an opportunity to view the air and water show from the top floor swimming pool as well.

For those who plan on attending next year’s show, consider one of the best spots to view the show:

Plan for one of these hot spots and your 53rd Annual Chicago Air and Water show will be a weekend to remember!
