Transportation Information for Reunion Guests

We strongly encourage all guests to skip renting a car during the reunion weekend.
  • Chicago’s public transit is highly accessible, frequent, and much more cost‑effective than renting a vehicle. Both airports connect directly to the CTA train system, making arrival simple and stress‑free. [flychicago.com]

  • Swissôtel Chicago is centrally located, within walking distance of major bus routes, CTA train lines, and downtown attractions—making it easy to move around without the expense of parking or rideshares. [resources....alsite.net]

  • Avoiding a car also helps you keep travel costs low, reduce time spent in city traffic, and enjoy Chicago like a local using quick and reliable transit options.
