In Lincoln Park -- one of Chicago’s posh neighborhoods -- a new 4-star boutique hotel is now available for $88 (US$89) per night. This is 50% off current rates at this hotel, newly opened in March.

Stay across the street from the city’s biggest green expanses over these dates:

• $88 (US$89) … Sundays-Thursdays, January-February
• $97 (US$99) … Fridays-Saturdays, January-February
• $137 (US$139) … March 1-19

Hotel Lincoln is just north of the downtown area – just 10 minutes away by bus, the El train or cab. This charming residential neighborhood boasts unique boutique shopping and top restaurants.

Visit farm-to-table Perrenial Virant adjacent to the hotel, headed by award winning Chef Paul Virant, or catch an improv show at Second City. Among the 1200 acres in the park are a zoo and indoor conservatory -- admission is free at both.

Not available on: Feb. 16; March 3-7, 16, 20-23
