Guests booking the “Road Trip Package”, starting at $159 per night (based on availability), will be welcomed with a special road trip bag upon arrival.

The package is rounded out with an overnight stay in one of the hotel’s premiere guestrooms, including one of the featured historic rooms (based on availability) and a tour of the preserved historic elements of the newly renovated hotel, including a sneak peek for a photo op with the famous 1928 Ford Model A in the lobby.

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/N Loop/Michigan Ave opened in May 2015, featuring a grand, three-story Art Deco lobby, a 67-seat 1920’s-style cocktail bar, and intricate architectural details throughout the property. It features historic Chicago Motor Club elements left intact throughout the building, including the 29-foot mural of popular road destinations, designed by John Warner Norton, making it a perfect destination for road-trippers of all ages this spring and summer.

More than just a social and sporting group, the Chicago Motor Club wielded power in advocating for city improvements, including the widening of North Michigan, the installation of a public parking garage in Grant Park, and the transformation of Wacker Drive into a double-decker motorway.
