Travel
If you're flying in from out of town, we recommend flying into O'Hare International Airport (ORD) or Midway (MDW).
Taking an Uber/taxi is the recommended option for getting into downtown. Prices will vary depending on time of arrival/traffic/etc.
If you're looking for a more cost-effective option, you can take the blue line train from ORD or the orange line train from MDW, exiting at the Clark & Lake stop downtown. Royal Sonesta is 0.4 miles from this stop. Train fares are $5 per person, one way, from either airport.
