Pre
The Belden-Stratford is about a 15 minute walk from
DePaul’s Lincoln Park Campus where Thursday’s and Friday’s sessions will take
place. The hotel is on the National Register of Historical Landmarks. It is
located right across from the Lincoln Park Flower Conservatory and the Lincoln
Park Zoo.
There are two excellent restaurants in the hotel, Mon Ami Gabi, a French
very fine bistrot, and Ambria, a five star restaurant. There is a great
sun deck on top of the hotel and a fitness center for guests.
Directions to Hotel:
(A map of the area around hotel can be
downloaded from the same site as this document)
By Train: From
Union Station catch the #151 (Sheridan) bus north. Just after passing the
Lincoln Park Zoo you should get off at the “Fullerton” stop or simply ask your
bus driver to let you off as close as possible to the Belden-Stratford. Cross
the street to strip of park to the west and walk south down Lincoln Park West
about 300 yards. The large, white stone building on the corner of Belden and
Lincoln Park West is the Belden Stratford.
By Car: From
Lake Shore Drive, get off at the Fullerton Exit and go west on Fullerton about
500 yards to Lincoln Park West (it’s the second traffic light). Turn left on
Lincoln Park West. The Belden-Stratford is about 300 yards up on the right.
From I-90/94, take the Fullerton Exit and
continue east. Turn right on Lincoln Park West (the second right after crossing
Clark Street). The Belden-Stratford is about 300 yards up on the right.

From the Airport:
A small “boutique” hotel, the Belden-Stratford does not have its
own shuttle to or from either of Chicago’s two airports. Cab fare from O’Hare
will run $30-35 and will take 30-40 minutes. Cab fare from Midway will run
$25-30 and will take 20-30 minutes. For those with an adventurous spirit, a
twenty minute train ride and then another twenty minute bus ride will take you
within a block of the Belden-Stratford for $2.25.
From O’Hare by Public Transportation:
Follow signs in the airport for “Trains to the City.”
You will need to buy a transit card and put at least $2.25 on it. Get on any
train at O’Hare and take the train into the city. Get off at the Clark/Lake
stop. Walk half a block east to Dearborn Ave. About 50 yards north on Dearborn
you will see a covered bus stop on the east side of the street. Take either the
#22 (Clark) bus or the #36 (Broadway) bus, whichever comes first, for about
15-20 minutes. Get off at the “Belden” stop (one stop after “Webster”). Walk
east one block. The large, white ornate building at the end of the block on your
left is the Belden-Stratford. The entrance is not on Belden Ave. but on Lincoln
Park West.
From Midway by Public Transportation:
Exact same directions as above. You will take the train into the city by a
different line but you will also get off at the Clark/Lake stop and transfer to
a bus.
