Where to Stay
There are plenty of options in Chicago to stay! Where you stay will depend on what sightseeing you want to do with your time in Chicago. The city is easy to get around, whether it's via public transit, car/rideshare, or walking. While the wedding venue is in West Town, that particular neighborhood is a mix of residential and industrial, and we recommend staying closer to the action of the city. Here are our recommendations for top areas to stay:
River North - full of hotels, shopping along The Magnificent Mile, bars and restaurants
Downtown/The Loop/South Loop - tons of public transit and famous tourist sites like The Bean and Millennium Park
West Loop - full of the city's hottest restaurants and bars
Wrigleyville/Lakeview/Lincoln Park - easy access to Wrigley Field, and a quieter experience than downtown Chicago
Old Town - Just north of River North, this is where we are staying and hosting our welcome party.
If you have any questions, ask Dakota!
Flight
O'Hare International Airport or Midway International Airport
You can't go wrong choosing which airport to fly into. Both airports include public transportation into the city, which we would recommend using as it is very convenient and much cheaper than an Uber or Taxi would be! O'Hare: You can take the Blue Line train located inside the airport. It's around a 45 minute train ride into downtown Chicago. Midway: You can take the Orange Line train located just outside the airport. It's around a 30 minute train ride into downtown Chicago.
