Chicago Sheraton Hotel & Towers
Do you know a teacher, nurse, police officer or soldier who could use a vacation? As worthy as these professions are, their value is rarely reflected in a salary that puts a stay at a fancy urban hotel within reach. But from now through Sept. 12, 2009, the Chicago Sheraton Hotel & Towers is recognizing the service of these “Everyday Heroes” with a special nightly room rate starting at $129 (up to 30 percent less than the regular rate) and half-off food and beverage purchases. For those traveling with family or friends, a second room will run just $99 per night. That should leave enough in the budget for an extra deep-dish pizza.
I can think of a certain former community organizer who would agree that Chicago is a great destination, even for those with limited resources. For a real insider’s guide to the Windy City, check out this list of President Obama’s favorite haunts in his home city.
