We are close to both Chicago airports (17 miles from O’Hare and 11 miles from Midway). Each airport is easily accessible by subway or taxi, so they’re both good choices. From the airport, we highly recommend the “L” for cost and ease of use.
If you decide to take a cab, be sure to incorporate traffic into your travel time. You can also take Uber or Lyft to save some money.
Follow the signs through O’Hare to the CTA Blue Line train. Take CTA downtown to Monroe stop (for University Club/Palmer House) or Washington (for Residence Inn).
Follow the signs through Midway to the CTA Orange Line train. Take CTA downtown to Adams/Wabash (for University Club/Palmer House) or Washington/Wells (for Residence Inn).
To avoid driving and parking, There are plenty of train options to get to Chicago from the Chicagoland suburbs or Michigan via Metra or Amtrak. The stations highlighted are all within walking distance (or short cab) from the recommended hotels.
If you decide to drive into the city (although we don’t recommend it!), each hotel offers valet parking ($42-75 per night) and there are numerous self-parking garages (~$45 daily).
