Hey Urban, Ona already said the Palmer House was booked up. Also, the new owners of the Palmer House are complete bastards, and I wouldn't give them a cent.

Fortunately, the Trader Vic's is right in the Loop, or the central business district of Chicago. There are TONS of hotels withoin walking distance of Vic's.

If you're on a budget, try the Ohio House, which is a 50s/60s motel that you can get in the $100 range.

If you want fancier accomodations, every major hotel chain has a hotel within a mile of Trader Vic's. Expect to pay $100 to $200.

Let me know when you plan to go to Hala Kahiki.

There are no trains or busses that go there, and a cab will cost you $40 easily, each way. But it isn't too hard to persuade me to drive a few visitors out there, schedule permitting....
