The James Hotel in Chicago insider deal – affordable rooms + upgrades + bonus cash

Take a moment to pretend it isn’t bitterly cold here in Chicago, and imagine yourself spending the night at the James Hotel. The James is steps away from the Mag Mile, right in the middle of the best shopping, dining and nightlife the city has to offer.

If you book between now and January 17th, you can take advantage of a special “insider deal”. For just $129, you’ll get your room, a free upgrade and your choice of free parking or a $50 food and beverage credit for in-room dining, or towards dinner at David Burke’s Primehouse.

Best of all, you can book a room at this special rate for stays until March 31st, so if you really dislike the cold, you can snag yourself a room closer to spring.

Obviously, insider specials like this don’t last too long, so book quickly. As of right now, rooms are still available for Valentines Day – and your $129 gets you a fantastic 450sf studio suite with cozy sitting area, complimentary Wi-Fi, iPod radio, 2 TV’s, a marble bathroom stocked with Kiehl’s amenities and a private dining niche. This of course in addition to your $50 parking or dining credit.
