This is a boutique hotel in a 1983 Venetian Gothic building. It's famous for its cocktail and recreation lounge in a gorgeous 1920's inspired library.

This hotel is much further away from the wedding events but for first time Chicago visitors (or those eager to explore), this is a nice option.

Flight
Chicago has a plenty of travel options but O'hare is a little closer to get to Logan Square, especially if you're taking transit in from the city. Logan Square and the surrounding neighborhoods are most easily accessed by the Blue Line CTA which feeds right into O'hare Airport.

Just a note that the wedding events all take place in Logan Square which is most accessible via the Blue Line CTA. If you're planning on taking public transit, it's a good thing to keep in mind!
Travel Note
December will likely be cold and it could be damp and snowy. Plan for weather and travel delays accordingly! If you run cold, make sure to pack with options! The outside is cold but the wedding venue will likely be rather warm.
