The cheapest months for Chicago Edit hotels are January, March, and February, with median nightly Chase Travel rates around $454. The priciest is September at about $913.
January is the cheapest month to book an Edit hotel in Chicago, with a citywide median nightly Chase Travel rate of $454, fees included. March follows at $463 and February at $506. The driver is weather: Chicago winters are harsh, and hotel demand hits its annual low from December through March. Travelpander's seasonal breakdown identifies that same winter window as the cheapest time to visit.
September is the most expensive month at a $913 median, with October close behind at $887. Summer runs high too: June's median reaches $815 and August's $808. Festivals and the convention calendar keep demand strong from June through October, per Kayak's Chicago hotel data and Trip Signal's Chicago booking guide, and rates finally break in November, when the median drops to $601.
The full year of citywide medians, fees included:
The shoulder months offer a middle path. April's median is $591 and December's is $519, both well under the summer range, while May at $681 already leans toward peak pricing. December is the quiet surprise: despite the holidays, it prices $82 below November because the city's low season is already underway.
The concrete play: Loews Chicago Hotel holds the city's lowest median at $388 a night. Point a January booking at it, when citywide medians bottom at $454, and two nights at the Loews median cost about $776 before credits. The $250 Edit credit plus the $100 property credit cut that to roughly $426. Kimpton Gray Hotel by IHG, at a $467 median, adds the double credit on top through December 31, 2026.
Kimpton Gray Hotel by IHG and Pendry Chicago are the two Chicago Edit hotels that qualify for the select-brand double credit, a promotion that runs through December 31, 2026. Both are 4.5-rated and both sit at the affordable end of the city's Edit range: Kimpton Gray carries a $467 median nightly rate and Pendry Chicago a $553 median. Booking either in the January to March window pairs the doubled credit with Chicago's lowest rates.
January is the cheapest month to book an Edit hotel in Chicago, with a median nightly Chase Travel rate of $454 across the city's 12 Edit properties, fees included. March is a close second at $463, and February comes in at $506. The same hotels reach a $913 median in September, so a winter booking costs about half of an early fall one.
The $100 property credit applies once per stay, not per night. It covers on-property spending, typically food and beverage, unless the individual hotel states otherwise. On a two night January stay at Chicago's $454 citywide median, the $100 property credit plus the $250 Edit credit together cover about 39 percent of the roughly $908 room cost.
Nobu Hotel Chicago is the cheapest 5-star Edit hotel in Chicago, with a $603 median nightly Chase Travel rate. The city has six 5-star Edit properties in total, and the range runs from Nobu at $603 up to The St. Regis Chicago at $1,123. The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago lands near the bottom of that band at a $678 median.
Yes, the swing is large enough to plan around. Chicago's citywide Edit median moves from $454 in January to $913 in September, a $459 gap, which means winter rates run at about half the fall peak. The $350 in combined credits covers roughly 39 percent of a two night median stay in January but only 19 percent in September.
