Hotels

Our Training Center is located in Downtown Chicago - also known as the Loop.

For hotels you can choose to stay in Downtown Chicago area (Loop) or in the River North area (Gold Coast).

Hotels in the River North area tend to be cheaper than hotels in the Loop. The River North area has the added benefit of being located just off N Michigan Ave., which is Chicago's premier shopping and restaurant district. You will however have to take a $7-8 cab ride to the training center each morning.
