GETTING TO CHICAGO

For guests traveling from out of town, we recommend flying into Chicago O'Hare airport. O'Hare is conveniently located about 30 minutes away by car or ride share from the Armour House.


Alternatively, you can also fly into Chicago Midway airport. Please note Midway is located further away from Lake Forest.

HOTEL OPTIONS

We have reserved a block of rooms for Saturday (July 19th) and Sunday (July 20th), at both the Residence Inn Lake Forest and the Hilton Garden Inn Lake Forest.


To book a room at one of these hotels, refer to the booking details below.


The hotels are just a 3 minute drive to the Armour House and we have arranged a complimentary shuttle service for guests staying at either location.


Additional hotel options in Lake Forest and nearby areas include:

Deer Path Inn

The Hyatt Forrester

Marriott Lincolnshire


For those planning to stay in downtown Chicago, there are a wide range of options. We recommend staying at an accommodation in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Gold Coast, River North, or Loop to enjoy easier access to restaurants and attractions. Please allow 40 to 60 minutes by car to reach the Armour House from these neighborhoods, depending on traffic.


If you're planning to travel to Lake Forest via train (and won't have a car), we suggest staying in the West Loop or River North, as both are convenient to Metra train stations going to Lake Forest.

GETTING TO ARMOUR HOUSE

By car

If you're staying at the Residence Inn Lake Forest or the Hilton Garden Inn Lake Forest, there will be a complimentary shuttle service taking guests to the Armour House and returning after the reception. More details will be provided closer to the event date.


If you are driving, there is complimentary self-parking at the Armour House. There will be directional signage provided when you arrive. Please note parking on the lawns of Lake Forest Academy is prohibited.


By public transport

If traveling by train, you have two options: the Chicago Metra Milwaukee District North (MD-N) Line or the Union Pacific North (UP-N) Line, both of which stop in Lake Forest—though at separate stations.


The MD-N Line departs from Union Station in downtown Chicago.


The UP-N Line departs from Ogilvie Transportation Center (OTC) in downtown Chicago.


Both trains take approximately one hour to reach Lake Forest.


From either Lake Forest station, it's about a 10-minute Uber or taxi ride to the Armour House.
