Welcome to Chicago! We're so excited to see all of you. For our guests traveling from out of state, we want to make navigating our wonderful city as easy as possible. The CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) is an excellent and affordable way to get around! It includes the "L" trains and buses. You can buy Ventra cards or use contactless credit/debit at stations. For real-time info, check the "Transit" or "Citymapper" apps. The CTA offers convenient train service to The Royal Sonesta from both O'Hare and Midway airports. For real-time directions, train times, and walking directions, we highly recommend using Google Maps – it's an excellent tool for navigating Chicago's public transit! Your hotel is perfectly located for CTA access! Red Line (Grand Station): Just a 1-minute walk (State & Grand). Great for: North: Magnificent Mile, Lincoln Park, Wrigleyville. South: The Loop, Museum Campus, Chinatown. Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple Lines (Clark/Lake Station): About a 10 minute walk (south on State St to Lake St, then west to station). Connects you to major parts of downtown and beyond. We hope this helps you enjoy your time in Chicago!
