The Hyatt Regency Chicago charges $92.00 for valet, flat from 6 hours to overnight, the highest sticker price we read. It's also the only hotel we cover that says its price already includes Chicago's parking tax, a combined 35.25% on daily parking. None of the others says either way, so an $88 valet elsewhere can end up costing you more. The lowest price we read that's clearly for self-parking is $40 a night, at two hotels in South Loop and McCormick Place. The Hyatt Regency McCormick Place includes in-and-out at that price, and at the Marriott Marquis Chicago, $40 covers 9 to 24 hours.

Where the 35.25% comes from

The city's 23.25% has been in place since January 1, 2025, per its Department of Finance, and valet operators pay it on their receipts too. Cook County's own page sets its share at 6% for parking of 24 hours or less. The Civic Federation's 2026 consumer tax report adds the state's 6%, for 35.25% on hourly or daily parking. If an $88 valet doesn't already include the city's 23.25%, you pay $108.46, $16.46 more than the Hyatt's $92.00.

In October, the pages for The Langham, Chicago listed valet at $88 a day with in-and-out and no self-park on site. On November 11 the hotel's home page said nothing about parking, so we couldn't confirm the $88.

It prints no rate. The total shows once you enter dates and varies by garage, dates, length of stay and events, so price it against your hotel's valet before you book.
