1.  Accommodations:
     The Fairmont Chicago, the overflow hotel, has plenty of rooms available and, due to the kind generosity of AT&T, it will also have the IETF network! See details further below. The Fairmont is very close to Swissotel, only a 3-4 minute walk above ground and a 5-7 minute walk through the Pedway (a climate controlled, underground pedestrian walkway system). Please note that the Swissotel Chicago (Headquarters Hotel) guest room block is currently fully booked.

     The Fairmont is offering a onetime $25 credit for their in-house restaurant, the Columbus Tap, for attendees that stay four nights or longer.
        
     For more information on the Fairmont, please visit https://www.ietf.org/meeting/98/hotel.html

     NOTE: Due to the sister hotel relationship between the Chicago Swissotel and Fairmont, as well as the kind generosity of AT&T, we’re happy to announce that the IETF Network will be available at the Fairmont as well as the Swissotel! The familiar “ietf-hotel” wireless network will be available in the Fairmont  guest rooms as well as the public spaces, such as the lobby, bar, and other gathering points. This network will be supported by the generous donation of a 1 gigabit link from AT&T. In addition, AT&T, together with Comcast, will provide the pair of additional 1 gigabit links that power the main hotel and meeting network at the Swissotel.
