Our new convention home is the Sheraton Grand Chicago in downtown Chicago, Illinois. Located at:
301 East North Water Street
Chicago, Illinois, 60611<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout our discussions with the Sheraton, we have been delighted by their commitment to make our experience an outstanding one. We are excited to make this space our new home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
https:\/\/www.marriott.com\/hotels\/travel\/chigs-sheraton-grand-chicago\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rates are $123 per night plus taxes for a King or Double Bed room. You can make a reservation via the link below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/book.passkey.com\/e\/50395522<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Capricon has arranged for discounted parking at the Sheraton during the run of the convention. The details are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hotel parking is also available for non-guests of the hotel. Validation will be available at the front desk of the hotel. Parking at the hotel does not include in\/out privileges for non-guests of the hotel. Details on the parking validation process for discounted rates will be made available soon for those opting to not stay at the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the parking fills up, or if you would prefer not to worry about altering your plans if it fills up before you get on site, we have noted that Spot Hero has 3 discounted parking options across the street from the Sheraton that have shown rates of $14 to $22 for parking sessions of at least 12 hours. These 3 lots have shown themselves to be consistently the cheapest in the area on Spot Hero so far:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spot Hero prices are subject to change but can<\/strong> be purchased in advance, so you could possibly lock in $14 for 12 hours of parking during Capricon right now and be set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be noted that the Ogden Plaza Garage is an excellent<\/strong> choice if it can be booked because that garage elevator connects to the Sheraton directly via an enclosed walkway. For folks with mobility issues, there are a couple of low door jams to work around, but it is fairly wide access and there are no stairs. You will enter the hotel on the same level that the Capricon program panels will be held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enter this location at LOWER 301 E North Water St. This is the garage for the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers. This is a LAZ Parking garage located near Navy Pier on the southwest corner of New St. and E North Water St. Look for the white and blue banner with red arrows that say “Hotel & Public Parking”<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the intersection of E. Illinois St. and McClurg Ct. OR the intersection of E. Grand Ave. and McClurg Ct., take McClurg Ct. south and make a right (turn west) on E. North Water Street. Follow E.
