Travel

By air:

The Holiday Inn Chicago O’Hare-Rosemont is conveniently located near O’Hare International Airport.

From the hotel website: “For a hassle-free travel experience, we offer a complimentary 24/7 airport shuttle service to O’Hare International Airport. The shuttle departs every half hour on the hour. Domestic pickup is at Bus & Shuttle Center door #2, and international pickup is at door #5E. Schedule your shuttle service by dialing 1-847-380-5800 and selecting option 3.” Shuttle van has a Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites logo.

Midway Airport is much further away, roughly an hour by car or longer by public transit. We recommend flying into O’Hare whenever possible.

By public transit:

The recommended method of public transit from the city of Chicago is the CTA Blue Line to O’Hare Airport. From there, you can catch the hotel shuttle or take a taxi, Uber, or Lyft.

By car:

The hotel is not far from Interstate 90, if you are driving. Parking at the hotel is $10 a day (discounted from $18 for the event).

Area Information

Food:

Need a place to eat during PUDDLE? As of September 2024, it looks like fast food restaurants nearby include McDonald’s, Portillo’s, and Panera. There is also a restaurant in the hotel.

Mitsuwa Marketplace is about 8 miles from the hotel.  (It can get busy on Saturdays during lunch, so Saturday lunch is probably not the best time to go there.) It has tasty Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese-American food. Don’t miss the Pastry House Hippo bakery tucked away inside the grocery store side of the market!
