This year's event takes place in the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton Chicago Hotel, located at 720 South Michigan Avenue, overlooking Grant Park in downtown Chicago. Formerly the Chicago Hilton & Towers, this magnificent hotel offers guests a beautiful lakeside, metropolitan setting in the center of Chicago's cultural campus, close to all the museums, theaters, and nightlife. Virtually everything to see and do in Chicago is only a short walk or cab ride away.
The Hilton Chicago is one of the city's premier luxury hotels. It has 1,543 guest rooms, including 13 specialty suites and The Towers, a private luxury hotel-within-the-hotel; three restaurants--including a signature steakhouse and authentic Irish pub; an outstanding athletic club with indoor lap pool, sun deck, and state-of-the art equipment; and a complete business center.
The hotel has its own parking garage, and there is ample additional parking within a comfortable walking distance. O'Hare Airport is 25 miles away and Midway Airport is 15 miles from the hotel. Built in 1927 as the world's largest, the Hilton Chicago went through a $185 million renovation in 1985, restoring the property to its original grandeur.
