Günstige Hotels in Chicago: Die besten Budget-Hotels in der Nähe der Michigan Ave und der Magnificent Mile

Wie Sie die besten Hotelpreise in Chicago finden

"Billig" ist kein Wort, auf das man stößt, wenn man ein Hotel in Chicago sucht, vor allem nicht, wenn man in den begehrtesten Vierteln wohnen möchte, die dem Geschehen in der Stadt am nächsten sind - Downtown/The Loop, N. Michigan Avenue/Magnificent Mile und River North.

Das bedeutet jedoch nicht, dass Besucher keine Hotels finden können, die ein besseres Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bieten als andere. Zu den Vorteilen, die verschiedene Hotels bieten, gehören beispielsweise ein kostenloses Frühstück, eine Lage in Gehweite der wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten, die Sie besuchen möchten, oder Ermäßigungen für beliebte Museen und Attraktionen. Im Urlaub ist jede Kleinigkeit hilfreich, erst recht, wenn es sich bei Ihrem Reiseziel um eine Stadt von Weltrang handelt, die einen höheren Preis hat als weniger beliebte Städte.

Wie zu erwarten, sind die Hotelpreise in Vororten wie Oak Brook, Schaumburg oder an Wochenenden in der Nähe des O'Hare Airport günstiger, aber dann kommen noch die Kosten für ein Mietauto hinzu, wenn Sie nicht von zu Hause aus nach Chicago fahren. Die Parkgebühren im Stadtzentrum von Chicago können schockierend sein, und einige Hotels in den Vororten verlangen ebenfalls eine tägliche Parkgebühr. Wir raten Ihnen, Ihr Auto zu Hause zu lassen oder, wenn Sie mit dem Flugzeug anreisen, den Mietwagen ganz wegzulassen. Der Ärger und die Kosten sind es einfach nicht wert.

Wann ist die beste Zeit für einen Besuch in Chicago?

Es überrascht nicht, dass die günstigste Zeit des Jahres für einen Besuch in Chicago auch die kälteste und möglicherweise schneereichste ist. Aber lassen Sie sich davon nicht abschrecken, denn die "Windy City" bietet eine Vielzahl fantastischer Indoor-Möglichkeiten, darunter Museen, Observatorien, Sport (NHL-Eishockey und NBA-Basketball gehören zu den Top-Aktivitäten) und kulturelle Veranstaltungen (Oper, Sinfonie, Theaterstücke) und natürlich Shopping.

Dezember bis März gilt als Nebensaison, in der die Hotelpreise niedriger sind, es sei denn, es findet ein großer Kongress im riesigen McCormick Place am Lake Shore Drive statt. In den Monaten April/Mai und Oktober/November sind die Preise im Allgemeinen moderat (für Chicagoer Verhältnisse), insbesondere im Vergleich zu den Spitzenmonaten Juni bis September. Auch die Flugpreise können in diesen Monaten niedriger sein als in der Hochsaison.

Kurz vor und während wichtiger Feiertage wie Ostern, Thanksgiving, Weihnachten und Neujahr sollten Sie mit höheren Zimmerpreisen rechnen. Wenn Sie jedoch die beliebtesten Feiertage und großen Kongresse meiden können, sollten Sie das ganze Jahr über einen sehr günstigen Urlaub in Chicago planen können.

Plan Ahead for the Lowest Prices

We all know the phrase, “the early bird gets the worm”, and nothing could be truer than when it comes to travel. With more people traveling than ever before, and more frequently, if you are able to plan and book well in advance of your trip you could realize tremendous savings.

Additionally, if you have the flexibility to travel outside of peak season which will vary depending upon your destination, you will also be amazed at how much less expensive your getaway can be.

For example, you’ve never been to Disneyworld in Orlando and there are no children to cart along with you. Consider visiting during low season, which is during the fall when kids are back in school. Las Vegas? Summer may be hot, but prices are much cooler then, and especially midweek. Since you will most likely be indoors much of the time, summer in Las Vegas in an air-conditioned casino or lounging under an umbrella at an elaborate pool is rather nice.

The same is true of virtually all destinations. Travel during shoulder or low season can save you hundreds of dollars, euros, or yen on hotels and airfare, and better yet, the crowds won’t be there. Of course, no matter where you are going, Travelated has the best prices and widest selection of hotels.

Enjoy Chicago! It’s our kind of town.
