We have worked with several hotels in the city to offer special pricing for the weekend of our wedding. We have tried to provide a variety of options, however through searching sites such as hotels.com or even travelocity you may be able to find options at a lower price. If you are not familiar with Chicago and are using a hotel search site, please keep location in mind as some neighborhoods are less than desirable and some may be quite far from the church and reception location.
If you are driving to the city please remember to factor in the cost of parking at the hotel. All of the hotels offer parking beginning at $20 a day but you will want to ask them what their current rate is when making your reservations.
Here are some suggested accommodations:
--The Palmer House Hilton
It is located in the Loop area of Chicago and is very close to Millenium Park, Grant Park, and Museum Park thus you will have a variety of entertainment options. It is a very close to the reception venue and there are easy public transportation options from here. And they gave a us a great price for a very nice hotel.
Rates begin at $179 for a standard room with the room block. (Cut off date for the pricing hold is October 15th)
