Getting To/From the Hyatt Regency Chicago:

Parking:

Valet parking is available at the Hyatt Regency Chicago with unlimited in and out privileges during your stay at the hotel. *Please note that the vehicle clearance height in the garage is 6 feet 8 inches.

A number of self-parking options are available nearby, the closest being 111 East Wacker. Please visit those individual websites for pricing and availability.

Air Travel Information:

Midway International Airport (MDW) and O’Hare International Airport (ORD) are the closest airports to use when arranging air travel for NAEA26. These are the primary airports for Chicago, Illinois, and are about 12-18 miles from downtown Chicago and the Hyatt Regency Chicago.
