jeff Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Act quickly if interested!!Go to hotwire.comSearch for a hotel in the Chicago loop for the weekend of 4/13/06. There is one right now listed as a 4-star, customer favorite, for $74/night. Book it!It's the Hyatt Regency, the host of Whiskeyfest. I just booked 2 rooms for Ed and myself. We're staying from 4/12-4/15. Hope to see some of you there!:toast:P.S. I can't make any guarantees, but that was my experience just 5 minutes ago.

BourbonJoe Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I got the same deal as Jeff. 59 is a great price Randy. It will be nice staying at the same hotel that hosts Whiskyfest. See you all there.Joe :usflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Considering the rate of $189-$235 if booked through the Hyatt website, anything under $100 is a hell of a deal :toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleblank Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I'm not staying Sat night. If I added Sat night, the rate goes up to $74 like yours. Gary and Libby are going too and he got the same rate as I did.Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I also just got the $59 rate for Thursday-Friday at the Hyatt Regency, as I likely will drive and head back late Saturday. Thanks for the tip, Jeff -- I guess this means, huh, that you and Ed won't be at the Maker's Mark Mile weekend:skep: ? Guess it means I won't either.

TomH Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks for the info....works out great being in the Hyatt.Since saved $$$ on room, is it worth splurging on the VIP ticket for the extra early hour?Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 ...Since saved $$$ on room, is it worth splurging on the VIP ticket for the extra early hour?TomYes -- it gets very crowded very fast when the doors open to general attendance. It also allows you to leave earlier to claim 'ring-side' seats at one of the after-parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I tried booking a room just now, but am apparently too late. You lucky dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I tried booking a room just now, but am apparently too late. You lucky dogs!In fact, Hotwire's price for a 4-star inside-the-Loop hotel's a whoppin' $276 now! So, Jeff, you saved me almost $500 on this booking, after taxes, and probably saved the several of us collectively a couple of grand. :toast: What a good administrator!:bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Wow, just good timing I guess. :cool: There is still a $74 4-star listing for the Magnificent Mile area, which would still be a fantastic deal and within easy walking/public transit of Whiskyfest.
