For your convenience, we’ve listed a few hotels within walking distance of the wedding events, though guests are welcome to stay anywhere in the city.
Our main room block will be at the Palmer House, located beside the University Club. The Loop is highly walkable and well-connected—Uber, Lyft, and taxis are readily available—and valet parking is offered at both the Palmer House and the University Club.

Chicago Athletic Association
Located across from Millennium Park and a short walk from the University Club, this historic landmark offers refined rooms and classic Chicago charm.
The Talbott
For guests who prefer to stay near the ceremony at St. James Chapel, we recommend The Talbott, located just a few blocks away in the Gold Coast.
Airports
Chicago O'Hare (ORD)
O’Hare is one of the largest and busiest airports in the world — a major hub for both United Airlines and American Airlines. It offers the most flight options and nonstop service from nearly every major U.S. city and many international destinations.
Chicago Midway (MDW)
Midway is Chicago’s smaller, more convenient airport — a major Southwest Airlines hub — and often the easiest choice for domestic travelers. It’s located on the southwest side of the city and tends to have shorter security lines and faster check-in.
Train and Rideshare
Train from Midway
The Orange Line provides direct service from Midway International Airport to downtown Chicago in about 25–30 minutes.
Disembark at Adams/Wabash Station, just a short walk from both the University Club and Palmer House.
Train from O'Hare
The Blue Line connects O’Hare International Airport to downtown Chicago in about 40–45 minutes.
