3 Boutique Chicago Hotels for PRINT 18

Posted by Raquel DeSouzaon March 23, 2018August 17, 2018in PRINT1 Comment

The charm of a boutique hotel is hard to deny. Boutique hotels invite images of attentive service, localized decor and cuisine and a chance to feel less like a tourist and more like a welcome guest in the area. Even Airbnb wants in on this market.

PRINT 18 attendees and exhibitors can experience this alternative to chain hotels – all at an exclusive convention rate. Online booking is available for individuals and smaller groups. To book more than 20 rooms, please contact PRINT 18’s official hotel partner at printhotels@expovision.com or (800) 305-0039.

What PRINT 18 registrants need to know about housing poachers

Hotel scammers, housing pirates, room block poachers…however you refer to them, they have been a major problem in the convention industry for years. These are companies that masquerade as being the official housing partner for an event and sell room blocks that don’t actually exist. Their victims may pay thousands of dollars, only to arrive at the hotel and be told they don’t have a reservation.

Back in 2008, the American Society of Association Executives won a federal lawsuit against the hotel scammer Complete Event Planning, Inc. Despite this monumental win, third-party hotel scams are continuing to sprout up and to bring financial pains. According to the American Hotel & Lodging Association,there are 55 million bad hotel bookings annually: that’s nearly $4 billion dollars in poachers’ pockets!
