Airport Information

HLC recommends O’Hare International Airport (ORD) as the most convenient airport due to it's proximity to the hotel and conference center. Midway Airport (MDW) is another option for attendees, but will greatly lengthen the travel time to the hotel and conference center.

 

Taxi / Ride Share Service

The estimated fare between the airport and the hotel is $15.00 one-way.

Taxi stands are located on the lower level of each terminal.

Loading zones for Rideshare services are at the following locations:

  • Terminal 2 - waiting area Upper Level between Door 2A and Door 2D 
    • Black Zone A - Outside North of vestibule 2A
    • Blue Zone B - Outside vestibule 2A
    • Orange Zone C- Outside vestibule 2B
    • Green Zone D - Outside vestibule 2D
      • Passengers should wait in the specific colored zones until their driver arrives to the same colored zone before proceeding to the designated pick-up location. A waiting area inside is available between vestibules 2A and 2D.
  • Terminal 5 - waiting area Lower Level Door 5B

Uber Black and Uber Taxi will pick up on the Lower Level.
