Rising from Chicago's famed Riverwalk, the 2,000-room Hyatt Regency has a convenient downtown location on the Magnificent Mile close to many of the Windy City's top attractions, including Navy Pier, the Field Museum of Natural History, and Shedd Aquarium. More good news: The hotel's winter special lets you save 25% off the best available rate on stays through April 10, 2010.
The promotion touts rates starting at $79 per night. We found nightly rates for a double room ranging from a low of $82 on a Saturday in January to $150 for a weeknight in April. Compared to the best available rates for those dates, those promo prices do indeed reflect a 25% discount. Other room categories are also available at 25% off; if you feel like stretching out in a junior suite you'll pay, on average, an extra $150 per night. The Hyatt Regency has a sizable business clientele, so rates are significantly lower on Fridays and Saturdays—a boon for families looking for a weekend city getaway.
When booking online, use special offer code "FUN25." When testing this code, we ran into quite a few blackout dates. Being flexible with travel dates can pay off; if the promo code doesn't work for your preferred dates, try sliding a week forward or back.
