Chicago Convention Rates

McCormick Place Hotel

The Ramada Chicago Hyde Park is considered a McCormick Place Hotel as we are only a five minute train ride to the Convention Center. Many of the McCormick Place attendees that stay with us are able to take advantage of the Chicago Public Transportation system and discover how convenient and affordable it is. The Chicago CTA bus stop is just two blocks from the hotel and by taking the number "2" bus which comes every few minutes our guests can enjoy a 10 minute bus ride to McCormick Place for all of  a cost of $2.00 compared to typical cab rides from most Chicago hotels of $10.00 - $15.00. They also have a second option in walking two blocks and taking the Metra Train at 51st street and having a five minute ride to inside of McCormick Place at a cost of less than $3.00 one way. Another convenient  and affordable way to get to McCormick Place. They also have the option of taking both the train and the bus all the way downtown and enjoying all that downtown Chicago has to offer. The Ramada Chicago Hyde Park is a great McCormick Place Hotel with more to offer and more to save than most downtown hotels.
