Hoe vind je de beste hotelprijzen in Chicago?
"Goedkoop" is geen woord dat u waarschijnlijk tegenkomt als u op zoek bent naar een hotel in Chicago, vooral niet als u wilt verblijven in de meest gewilde buurten die het dichtst bij de actie van de stad liggen - downtown/the Loop, N. Michigan Avenue/Magnificent Mile en River North.
Maar dit betekent niet dat bezoekers geen hotels kunnen vinden die meer waar voor hun geld bieden dan andere. De extra's die verschillende hotels bieden zijn bijvoorbeeld een gratis ontbijt, een locatie op loopafstand van de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden die je wilt bezoeken of kortingen op populaire musea en attracties. Alle kleine beetjes helpen als je op vakantie bent, en nog meer als je bestemming een stad van wereldklasse is waar een hoger prijskaartje aan hangt dan aan minder populaire steden.
Zoals je zou verwachten, zijn hoteltarieven minder duur in voorstedelijke gebieden zoals Oak Brook, Schaumburg, of in het weekend in de buurt van O'Hare Airport, maar dan heb je de extra kosten van het huren van een auto als je niet van huis uit naar Chicago rijdt. De parkeertarieven in het centrum van Chicago kunnen een schok zijn en sommige hotels in de buitenwijken rekenen ook een dagtarief. Ons advies is om je auto thuis te laten, of als je vliegt, de huurauto helemaal over te slaan. Het gedoe en de kosten zijn het gewoon niet waard.

Wanneer zijn de beste tijden om Chicago te bezoeken?
Het is niet verrassend dat de meest betaalbare tijd van het jaar om [Chicago] te bezoeken (https://www.travelated.com/usa/illinois/chicago/chicago-metropolitan-area-2025-metro-population-top-suburbs-chi-town-meaning) ook de koudste is, en mogelijk de meeste sneeuw. Maar laat dat je niet afschrikken, want de Windy City biedt een veelheid aan fantastische binnengelegenheden, waaronder musea, observatoria, sport (NHL hockey en NBA basketbal zijn topactiviteiten) en culturele evenementen (opera, symfonie, toneelstukken), en natuurlijk winkelen.
December tot maart wordt beschouwd als laagseizoen, wanneer de hoteltarieven lager zijn, behalve als er een grote conventie is in het enorme McCormick Place aan Lake Shore Drive. Het schouderseizoen is april/mei en oktober/november, wanneer de prijzen over het algemeen gematigd zijn (voor Chicago begrippen), vooral in vergelijking met de piekmaanden juni tot september. Vliegtickets kunnen ook lager zijn tijdens deze niet-hoogseizoenmaanden.
In de buurt van en tijdens grote feestdagen zoals Pasen, Thanksgiving, Kerstmis en Nieuwjaar kun je een stijging van de kamerprijzen verwachten. Maar het hele jaar door, als je de populairste feestdagen en grote conventies kunt vermijden, moet je plannen kunnen maken voor een zeer betaalbaar uitje naar Chicago.

A Bit Further North, but Well Worth Considering
Hotel Versey Chicago Lincoln Park, 644 W. Diversey Pkwy.

Visitors who prefer to embrace a local vibe will find this 137 room, four story hotel to their liking.
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.
