UChicago is located south of downtown Chicago in the vibrant neighborhood of Hyde Park. If this is your first time in Chicago, we encourage you to explore both our neighborhood and all our amazing city has to offer. As you have the choice to stay in Hyde Park or downtown while you’re here, to make your planning easier we have recommended hotels in both locations.
On Campus
Drawing on the liveliness of the Midway Plaisance, The Study at University of Chicago is a hotel setting new expectations for comfort and service at the corner of Woodlawn and E 60th Street. A two-minute walk to the center of campus, the hotel will be adjacent David Rubenstein Forum and Keller Center. With a seamless integration into the university experience, guests will be able to step onto campus the moment they exit the hotel.
Hyde Park
If you’re staying in Hyde Park, the Hyatt Place Chicago South and Sophy Hyde Park offer comfortable stays close to campus. Located just one block apart, Hyatt Place is off 53rd Street on S. Harper Avenue and Sophy Hyde Park is on 53rd Street – a major neighborhood destination with many shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Both hotels have easy access to public transportation routes into downtown Chicago.
The hotels are only a 15-minute bus ride or 25-minute walk from campus and are also within walking distance of Promontory Point, a jutting peninsula loved by University students for its views of the city; Jackson Park, home of the coming Obama Presidential Center and former home of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition; and the Museum of Science and Industry.

Downtown
If you and your family plan to stay downtown while visiting the University of Chicago, we encourage you to explore rooming at the Hilton Chicago on Michigan Avenue. Hilton Chicago has partnered with the University of Chicago to provide affordable and accessible rooms in the heart of the city. The Hilton Chicago is located on Michigan Avenue, within walking distance of Millennium Park, shopping on State Street and the Magnificent Mile, Museum Campus, and dozens of other attractions and restaurant options. Hilton Chicago donates 3% of the guest room rate to University of Chicago’s Odyssey Scholarship program which provides enhanced academic, social, and career support to students who are from lower-income families or the first in their families to attend college.
