- Parking detailsCurrently there is no valet parking. There are 2 recommended lots, on Franklin and Ohio and on Wells and Ontario, each about a block away. We recommend the ParkChicago app to find nearby metered street parking. The ParkWhiz app helps find indoor lots -- one is on Illinois just west of Wells. We are hoping to have valet parking again soon! Thanks!
