Chicago Magnificent Mile or Regency
Hi everyone,
I'm new to these forums. My gf and I are planning a small vacation in Chicago from 12/31 - 01/02. For our first night I'm using my last reward night that I got from getting the Hyatt Credit Card at Park Hyatt. However I don't want to pay $200+ to stay there the second night, so I'm trying to figure out which Hyatt to stay at for the second night.
I was looking at the Master Reviews for Magnificent Mile and Hyatt Regency Chicago, and it seems I'm leaning more towards Hyatt Magnificent Mile, however I would like to know if anyone might have personal opinions about each hotel or would recommend a different one.
Thank you.

Probably could get Langham on Hotwire for $200. This is one of the hot new hotels and would impress your GF.

+1 on the Mag Mile. The only positive for the Regency is views (if you are in the right room), but in the depths of Chicago winter you may see nothing but grey out your window.
The lobby at the mag mile is also a very nice place to sit when its too cold to wander around outside.

The HR has a remodeled Regency Club and it isn't located next to a hospital, so light sleepers won't require earplugs there.
Other than that, I give Mag Mile the edge in all other criteria.

Agree with the decent club, but he is not diamond
Others have also mentioned this, but I was not bothered by it any more than other hotels.

Despite all the votes against it, I want to comment that the Chicago Hyatt Regency is extremely good for what it is: a large convention hotel. It's consistently above other hotels of this sort IMO/IME.

Since OP is not Diamond and at this time of year, I prefer Mag Mile. Not to mention, the rate is slightly lower and he can easily walk there from PH.
