The School of the Art Institute has a deal with the Club Quarters hotels for weekend wedding guests. The only problem is that we can’t hold any rooms, so you have to book early, especially for Labor Day weekend.
Club Quarters has two locations in Chicago (click the links for rates, phone numbers, and other info):

• Central Loop
• Wacker at Michigan

The one in the Central Loop is closer, so try booking here first. There is another location on Wacker which is slightly further away and slightly more expensive, and they should automatically send you over there if Central Loop is full up, but if not, we’ve included that information, too. Oh, and say you’re coming for the Shklyanoy/Schultz wedding (try saying that after eating a bunch of crackers).

There are also about a zillion other hotels within walking distance. The address of the Ballroom is 112 S. Michigan Ave. if you want to use hotels.com or another search engine. Or you can try these hotels:

• Palmer House Hilton, 17 E. Monroe, 1-312-726-7500
• Hotel Burham, 1 West Washington, 1-877-294-9712 / 1-312-782-1111
• Congress Plaza Hotel, 520 South Michigan Avenue, 1-312-427-3800
• Crowne Plaza Chicago, The Silversmith, 10 S. Wabash, 1-887-2-CROWNE, 312-372-7696
