Travel Note
For other hotels or rentals...
If you choose not to stay at the Palmer, we recommend looking for places that have easy access to the CTA so you won't need a car. Every CTA line has a stop very close to the venue. Fun neighborhoods to explore include Andersonville (great shopping), Wrigleyville (baseball and bars), Pilsen/West Town (good restaurant scene), Bucktown/Wicker Park (fun and young), or Fulton Market (lively area just west of the Loop). And of course the Loop itself has all the attractions, skyscrapers, river tours and walkability. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions and we'll be happy to help you find a good home base for the weekend!
Travel Note
From O'Hare...
We recommend cabs over Lyft / Uber (same price, no wait at the cab line just outside baggage claim). For the CTA, simply take the Blue Line that originates in the airport to the Monroe stop and you'll be a block from the hotel and the venue.
Travel Note
From Midway...
Once again, taxis are a faster and closer pick-up option for the same price, and you can grab one right outside baggage claim. For the CTA, take the Orange Line that originates in the airport to Adams / Wabash (you'll get a scenic tour of the Loop as a bonus!) to be dropped off right between the hotel and the venue.
