ORD to The Drake Hotel: Flat $79
The Drake is one of Chicago's most iconic luxury hotels — corner of Walton + Lake Shore, anchor of the Gold Coast. The 22-mile drive from O'Hare runs 35-50 minutes depending on traffic + Eisenhower conditions.
| Vehicle | ORD → Drake Hotel |
|---|---|
| Lincoln Continental Sedan | $79 |
| Cadillac Escalade ESV | $99 |
| Mercedes Sprinter (group/luggage) | $169 |
| Stretch Limousine | $239 |
All flat rates include chauffeur, gratuity, fuel, tolls, and meet-and-greet at terminal.

Why the Flat Rate Wins
Real-world rideshare math on this 35-50-min route:
- Off-peak weekday afternoon: $35-50 (best case)
- Friday 6 PM business arrival peak: $65-95 (2× surge)
- Sunday afternoon return wave: $80-140 (peak surge)
- Snow/rain weather: $120-180
The flat $79 wins on every peak-hour or weather-stressed scenario. For business travelers landing in Chicago after a long flight, the meet-and-greet at baggage claim with name placard is what differentiates this from rideshare.
Drake Hotel Arrival Protocol
- Chauffeur arrives at ORD baggage claim 30 minutes before flight lands (we track flight number)
- Company-name placard displayed
- Bag handling — chauffeur takes luggage to vehicle
- Direct route via I-90 → Lake Shore Drive → Walton + Lake Shore (Drake entrance)
- Drop at Drake doorman — chauffeur opens door, hands luggage to bellman
For early-morning Drake departures (4:30-7:00 AM domestic flights), reverse the flow — Drake doorman calls vehicle 5 min before pickup, chauffeur loads luggage, direct route to ORD.
