For $99 per night, stay at a 4-star hotel on Chicago's Michigan Avenue, an area Frommer's deems "a little like New York’s Fifth Avenue and Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive rolled into one."

• $99 … Dec. 23-30, Jan. 6-19, 27-31

For $20 more per night, add parking to this deal (regularly $59 per night).

Rooms at The Westin Michigan Avenue feature the Westin Heavenly Bed and marble bathrooms. Inquire about New Balance gear and apparel available for a fee to stay active while visiting. Outside the hotel during the holiday season, the lit-up street twinkles as shoppers stroll between stores while musicians play the sounds of the season.
