A limited room block has been established at the Westin Chicago River North, which sits 250 feet across the river from the event's Start Line.
An exclusive rate of $249 per night (plus tax) was originally available between Friday, September 19 and Monday, September 22., but Saturday evening (Sep 20) rooms quickly sold-out.
Recently, a new inventory of Saturday evening rooms was added to the room block at $339 per night (plus tax). Limited Friday and Sunday evening rooms are still available at $249.
If you would like to book at the host hotel, please use the links below after reading these special instructions:
- Please note the two separate links below.
- The first link has only Friday and Sunday evening inventory remaining.
- The second link has only Saturday evening inventory.
- If you plan to book a two night reservation, you need to use the respective link to create two separate reservations.
- If you plan to book a three night reservation in this block, you need to create three separate reservations (one for each night).
- Yes, this is a strange situation, but due to the pending sell-out this is the only solution they can offer!
- The hotel will automatically merge your reservations together in August when the blocks close.
These rooms will quickly sell-out, and reservations may be canceled before August 18 without penalty. You may click below to reserve your room(s), or call the reservations group at +1 (888) 627-8359 and reference the Chicago River Swim event.

There is no discounted parking available in the immediate area, therefore we recommend SpotHero to secured advance, discounted parking. As the event draws nearer, we will advise of other parking options.
