Hotel 71 in Chicago, on the set of Transformers 3.<\/p><\/div>\n

\ufeffBy Angie Jaime <\/em><\/p>\n

Chicago’s Hotel 71<\/a> has become the epicenter of the Transformers 3<\/a><\/em> <\/a>mayhem, as shooting continues on Wacker Drive. The hotel, which morphed into Bruce Wayne’s penthouse in The Dark Knight <\/a><\/em>has\u00a0reclaimed its Hollywood limelight in the third installment of the Transformers<\/em> series.\u00a0\u00a0The wreckage littering the street–presumably\u00a0from the robots in disguise–spills out from within the hotel.<\/p>\n

Hotel 71’s East Cafe has transformed into something of a drive-through–a car crash wreaks havoc on the\u00a0eatery. But who can complain when they’re offering a $20 food credit for items from their movie-themed menu. Other perks for travelers staying amongst the chaos include 30% off the second adjoining room, daily posting of Transformers<\/em> shooting schedule across the city, and a complimentary screening of the first two Transformers films.<\/p>\n
