While most of our events are in the North Shore, we highly encourage people to explore downtown Chicago if they have time!

Getting there:

Both the Metra train (UPN line) and L train have a station just a ~6 min walk from the hotel (Davis Street)

- Metra runs about every hour, gets you downtown in under 30 mins, and costs ~$6

- L trains run every few mins, but take about ~1 hour to get downtown. This is a better option if you want to explore the northern Chicago neighborhoods, like Lincoln Park, Lakeview/Wrigleyville, or Old Town
