Hotel Options
Early summer is a great time to be in Chicago. We've provided some resources to help make your stay in town as enjoyable as the Conference. We encourage booking early for the greatest lodging options.
For accommodations close to the Conference Center consider the following:
Hotel Allegro (Designated Conference Hotel)
Its proximity to the Conference Center in UBS Tower and their moderate rates earns this hotel our designated conference hotel. It is a 2 block walk to UBS Tower. This Klimpton hotel has a decent restaurant downstairs. It is located in the city center/theater district. We understand the rooms are small, but the hotel is highly recommended.
Hotel Monaco
225 North Wabash Avenue
If you want to be closer to Lake Michigan and the Magnificent Mile of Michigan Avenue, consider Hotel Monaco. About 10 blocks from UBS Tower and more east downtown/Michigan Avenue oriented but nice friendly hotel with a little bit of personality.
Hyatt Regency Chicago
On Wacker and Michigan at the foot of the the Magnificent Mile and stone's throw from Millennium Park. Reasonable rate and on the lake.

The L
Elevated light rail trains, affectionately called "the L," service both O'hare and Midway airports. Without transferring, take the Orange Line between Midway & downtown or the Blue Line between O'Hare and downtown. Trains run frequently enough that knowing a schedule is not important. You may have a short walk or cab ride from your downtown drop point to your hotel. More public transportation details can be found here.
Shuttles
Airport Shuttles run regularly direct to specific hotel stops. Here is one shuttle resource.
