Hotel
The Hyatt Regency McCormick Place — located at 2233 S. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Drive — is the official hotel for the 2025 ASBMB Annual Meeting. The hotel is conveniently located next to the McCormick Place Convention Center, the site of all sessions and activities. The Hyatt Regency McCormick Place offers discounted group rates when booked through the official ASBMB group housing link.
The housing deadline is March 14; however, reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served and space-available basis. The block of discounted rooms may sell out prior to the March 14 deadline so we encourage you to book your room as soon as possible to secure the group rate. After the discounted rooms are filled, reservations will be accepted based on the hotel’s room and rate availability.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to limited rooms and expected demand, a deposit of one night’s room charge will be applied to your credit card at the time of reservation. The deposit is fully refundable if you cancel your reservation no later than 30 days in advance of your arrival. Please make note of this so you cancel your room within the time requirement should the need arise.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Hyatt Regency McCormick Place is the official hotel for the ASBMB Annual Meeting and will not contact you directly to solicit room reservation.
Booking through the official ASBMB group housing link ensures that your reservation and credit card information will be secure, and that you will benefit from all services provided to attendees at the official hotel.
Sham housing companies may approach ASBMB members and exhibitors with fraudulent offerings of hotel rooms at significant discounts. Please do not give them your credit card information. Lured by highly attractive rates, exhibitors and attendees fall prey to these imposters and end up discovering hidden costs or being baited-and-switched to hotel rooms they never booked.
If you are contacted by anyone asking if you need a room reservation for the ASBMB Annual Meeting, or if anyone represents themselves as the ASBMB housing provider, please get as much information as you can and then contact meetings@asbmb.org.
Why stay at the conference hotel?
The ASBMB has secured room blocks for attendees at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, conveniently located next to the McCormick Place Convention Center, the site of the annual meeting. The hotel is providing discounted rates based on a guaranteed percentage of attendees staying there.
When you book your room through the official ASBMB group housing link, you will receive the following benefits:
- Immediate email acknowledgement of your hotel reservation
- Peace of mind that you have a reservation at the official conference hotel at the discounted rate
- Complimentary access to the internet in your hotel room
- Protection in the event the hotel has oversold rooms
- And much more!
When rooms are booked at hotels that are NOT the official hotel block:
- ASBMB is exposed to penalties for not fulfilling its room block commitment
- ASBMB risks its ability to rebook preferred hotels and receive discounted rates
- ASBMB risks losing qualification for the space needed at the convention center
Please support the ASBMB by staying at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, the official hotel for the 2025 ASBMB Annual Meeting in Chicago using the official ASBMB group housing link. We think you will find the increased networking opportunities to be worth it!
