Hotwire hotel identification help

4-star hotel in Magnificent Mile Area - Streeterville





On the map, it shows three hotel locations for this listing. Though it%26#39;s hard to read the exact streets (those location dots are big and vague) dots are in these areas:





1) Chicago Ave and Michigan Ave



2)State/Monroe ish (The Palmer House?)



3) Michigan Ave between Wacker and Lake





The amenities include Nonsmoking, Fitness Center, Pool, restaurant, Business center, and high speed internet.





Does anyone have a guess as to what these hotels are?



Thanks!

Thanks. I checked out the website but was confused by hotwire%26#39;s map, and the three different locations.





I appreciate your time.




Michigan between Wacker and Lake could be the Hyatt (although it%26#39;s actual address is on Wacker) or the Hard Rock Hotel which is actually on Michigan.





Chicago Ave/Michigan--there aren%26#39;t any RIGHT ON THAT CORNER although the closest one would be the Park Hyatt.





State and Monroe would most likely be Palmer House. It%26#39;s on Hotwire alot.




Is the Palmer House considered a 4-star in Hotwire? It was renovated recently. I know its star rating has changed over the years. Is it 4.5 now? It was 3.5 once?





Thanks!

Those three numbered dots on the hotwire map aren%26#39;t hotels. They only show you a big, general area on the map indicating possible hotel location. The numbered dots represent:





1) Water Tower



2) Cultural Center



3) Motorola





There%26#39;s no way at hotwire itself to narrow a hotel%26#39;s location down further than the geometric area outlined in color on the map. The lists at better bidding can help you hone in more closely, though it is, of course, always possible for hotel classifications to change or new hotels to be added to hotwire%26#39;s database, meaning the lists at better bidding are no guarantee.




Thanks for the recent posts. I know it%26#39;s not a guarantee but I am of course looking for the most info possible! The betterbidding web site is great, but I wasn%26#39;t sure if it was updated regularly... the original thread goes back to 2005.




Yes, the betterbidding.com hotel lists are updated regularly as star ratings/amenities change and hotels are added.
