Chicago convention travel

Where to stay near McCormick Place

McCormick Place is North America's largest convention center, split across the West, South and North buildings and Lakeside Center. Check which building hosts your show before choosing a hotel — the walk between buildings can be long, especially in Chicago winter weather.

On-campus hotels: Hyatt Regency McCormick Place and Marriott Marquis Chicago link to the convention campus by covered skybridges. The Hiltons at McCormick Place (Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn and Home2 Suites) are also on campus. They suit exhibitors with early setup, but convenience is priced in on show weeks.
South Loop & Museum Campus: Close to the campus with restaurants and lakefront walks. Check the actual walking route to your building's entrance, not just straight-line distance.
The Loop & Magnificent Mile: The widest hotel choice and dining. Plan on Metra, CTA or show shuttles each day and add that time to your schedule.

Getting to the halls

Metra Electric serves McCormick Place station from downtown stations such as Millennium Station and Van Buren Street. Check the current schedule — service is less frequent outside rush hour.
The CTA Green Line stops at Cermak–McCormick Place, a short walk from the campus.
Many large shows run shuttles from Loop hotels; confirm routes and hours with the show organizer.
Flying in? Chicago has two airports, O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW). Midway is usually closer to the South Loop.

Common questions before you book

Which hotels are connected to McCormick Place?: Hyatt Regency McCormick Place and Marriott Marquis Chicago connect to the campus by covered skybridges, and the Hiltons at McCormick Place are also on campus. Check which building your show uses — walks from the bridges to Lakeside Center can still be long.
Should I stay in the Loop or near McCormick Place?: Hotels on or near the campus save daily travel time. The Loop and Magnificent Mile offer more choice and often lower totals, but plan 15–30 minutes each way by Metra, CTA or shuttle.
Which building is my show in?: McCormick Place has the West, South and North buildings plus Lakeside Center. Check your organizer's floor plan first — the walk between Lakeside Center and the West Building can take a while.
Can I book rooms for my whole team?: Yes. You can book up to 8 rooms instantly online on PikPakGo, and request larger blocks for 9 or more rooms.

From move-in to checkout

Exhibitor logistics at McCormick Place

Build your stay around the hall, the crew and the approved setup schedule—not just the public show dates.

01 · Hall-to-hotel access

Identify North, South, West or Lakeside Center on the campus map, then confirm the hall and public entrance on your organizer's floor plan. Being on campus is not the same as being beside your exhibit hall.

Use the official campus map to compare the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place and Marriott Marquis locations with your assigned building. Confirm the usable hotel-to-hall connection and its hours rather than assuming an all-day indoor route.

02 · Your daily commute

CTA's Cermak–McCormick Place station serves the Green Line. Check current service alerts and include the station-to-building walk. Organizer hotel shuttles require separate confirmation of routes and crew-hour service.

03 · Freight & move-in

McCormick Place says freight arriving before the licensed move-in date will not be accepted by the venue or marshaling facility. Coordinate truck marshaling and receiving with the general service contractor, not the hotel's check-in desk.

04 · Crew arrival & hotel requests

Personal-vehicle unloading through the ASUV program is event-designated and eligibility-dependent. Confirm the dock pass and approved unloading window with show management; an exhibitor badge is not blanket dock access.

Early check-in, late checkout, luggage storage, breakfast times and van parking are hotel-specific requests, not included promises. If setup starts before check-in, compare booking the previous night and confirm late-arrival arrangements directly with the hotel.

05 · Plan the whole team stay

Separate installers, booth staff and breakdown crew by arrival date, departure date and room needs. Compare the full stay total with daily transport and parking, then review the selected rate's cancellation terms and any written block conditions.

Your venue. Your team's dates.

Send the city, venue and room-night requirements to PikPakGo Team & Exhibitor Housing. Accommodation requests do not reserve docks, labor, badges or event transport.
