Chicago
The Fairfield is located in the heart of the Magnificent Mile shopping district. I have personally stayed there on a number of occasions with my family and can attest to its comfort and convenience. This year, the Fairfield replaced all of the beds so you won't have to worry about that uncomfortable hotel sleep. Additionally, the hotel offers a complimentary upgraded continental breakfast that is sure to sustain you as you head out in to a day of shopping or sight seeing. Visitors can easily walk up and down the Mile. Navy Pier is a little bit of a hike, but the hotel staff is very helpful in providing directions to any of the public transportation outlets.

The Fairfield Inn & Suites is pleased to offer the following rate for
Chamber Members: Deluxe Queen, King or Double Guest room Accommodations: $139.00  Executive King Suite: $159.00  All room rates are quoted exclusive of applicable state and local taxes, currently 15.39%. Group rates may vary and black out dates do apply.  Contact Lucy Subhasiriwatana at 312-596-9056 to reserve your getaway today, and for these special rates you must tell her that you are a WA/WM Chamber Member!
