Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

The Study at the University of Chicago is the host hotel for the wedding. We have secured a room block if you wish to stay at the hotel. Room rate is $299/night.

Hotel options that may offer lower room rates than the host hotel can be found in the “Travel” section of the website. Please note, there is a large conference happening in Chicago the same weekend, so it is recommended to secure your accommodations as early as possible.

Yes, the hotel can accommodate most food allergy requests. Please contact Andres or David directly.
