With Hotels for Hope, every hotel reservation made with the link above serves as a vehicle for Chicago Spring Half Marathon to impact the lives of children. At no cost to you Hotels for Hope donates $2 per actualized room night to help children live happier and healthier lives. It may not sound like much but since 2010, Hotels for Hope has donated over $750,000 with the help of their clients, attendees, and hotel partners. For this event, the donated dollars will go to benefit FOUNDATIONS OF MUSIC to provide general music classes in across Chicago schools.

Please be sure to read the individual hotel cancellation policies before confirming your reservation. Each property’s deposit policies are different.

NOTE:  *If you are booking a stay outside of the event block please make sure to review the cancellation policy more closely as many alternative rates are third-party rates and will be non-cancelable non-modifiable once booked.

Immediately after confirming your reservations on the Event Hotel Booking Portal, you will receive an email from Hotels for Hope confirming your hotel reservations. Because Hotels for Hope is managing our event hotel reservations, the HOST HOTELS may not have your reservations until after the cut off date. Therefore, if you call the hotel directly to try to confirm your reservations with them, they will most likely not have your reservations in their system yet.

Once the hotel has received your reservations, you will receive another email with the actual hotel confirmation number.
