The Purple Pig - Encore
Slightly off topic, but the past two times we've been in Chicago for pleasure, I've used Priceline.com to get our hotel rooms. When searching on hotels in Chicago, I was able to identify the area of the city we wanted to stay in and then had Priceline search only for four-star hotels to ensure we'd get a good place to stay. I started at a ridiculously low price and kept inching the price up until my bid was accepted. For our most recent visit, we ended up staying at the Renaissance Hotel for $125/night. A great deal and right downtown on Wacker and State to boot!
